our own experience, will grow just as 
surely and rapidly as larger plants for 
10 times the price. 
L. J. Farmer, Pulaski, N. Y.—A cata¬ 
logue of small fruits. Gardner, Weston, 
Sunnyside and Holland are four new 
strawberries that are roundly praised. 
Columbian raspberry and Maxwell's 
Early blackberry are specialties. It is 
said that the Maxwell is as large as the 
Wilson, as early as Early Harvest, and 
of the best quality. 
E. H. Vick, Rochester. N. Y.—An il¬ 
lustrated catalogue of choice seed pota¬ 
toes, the specialty of the firm. We want 
all of our potato growers to send for 
this catalogue before placing their 
orders. Vick’s Abundance, Early Ex¬ 
celsior, American Wonder, Carman Nos. 
1, 2 and 3, American Beauty, Maggie 
Murphy, Vick’s Early Advancer, Har 
vest Queen and Early Pride are the 
novelties. The old sorts are of the best. 
William Parry, Pomona Nurseries, 
Parry, N. J.—A catalogue of fruits of 
all kinds. Among the novelties is Rubus 
Sorbifolius, called the Strawberry-rasp-, 
berry, which is quite unknown to us. 
The fruit has the drupelets of the rasp¬ 
berry and the shape of a strawberry, 
and is said to be “ handsome, luscious, 
excellent for sauce or jams, and very 
good as a dessert fruit.” It ripens with 
the raspberry. The vines are hardy and 
productive. Mr. Parry also offers the 
Logan raspberry-blackberry, illustrated 
and described elsewhere. A colored 
illustration is given of the Koonce pear, 
which Mr. Parry considers the best early 
"pear, being of a delicious quality seldom 
found in an early variety. It is medium 
to large, skin yellow—one side bright 
red. The tree is a vigorous grower, free 
from blight, and of upright habit. As 
in years past, Japan chestnuts and other 
nuts are a specialty. Alpha is the ear¬ 
liest known chestnut to ripen. The tree 
begins to bear the third year. The nuts 
ripen about September 10, without frost. 
Advance is next to ripen. Early Re¬ 
liance ripens September 18. Success 
ripens about September 20. Parry’s 
Superb is an enormous bearer of the 
largest sized nuts, ‘‘two inches across, 
bright in color and free from fuzz. 
Ellwanger & Barry, Rochester, N. 
Y.—A supplementary catalogue of “rare 
and choice trees, plants and roses, in¬ 
cluding several valuable novelties and 
many specialties of superior merit.” 
This firm are so cautious about introduc¬ 
ing new things, that the very fact of 
their being offered in their catalogue, we 
are ready to accept as fair evidence of 
merit. The Barry apple is offered for 
the first. It is a great keeper, “ lasting 
in perfection until June. The flesh is 
firm, crisp, acid ; oblate, conical, yellow 
ground, marbled with carmine on the 
sunny side ; tree a vigorous grower.” 
The winter pear, Dorset, is also offered 
for the first—a handsome and showy 
late-keeping pear. Large, golden yel¬ 
low, with bright-red cheek ; flesh juicy, 
melting and sweet. Again we have the 
novelty Lady Clapp pear, which is large 
and handsome. The quality is “first- 
rate. It ripens after the Bartlett, and 
will prove just the pear to succeed that 
variety on account of its close resem¬ 
blance in form, color and quality.” The 
Colonel Wilder pear keeps until March. 
It is large ; pyriform ; skin yellow, mar¬ 
bled with russet; flesh melting, full of 
juice—“a delicious pear.” The Grand 
Duke plum is pronounced “one of the 
very best late plums for market.” The 
Columbus gooseberry holds up the repu¬ 
tation The R. N.-Y. gave it, well. On 
page 17, is an illustration of the Weep¬ 
ing Russian mulberry which, from our 
own trial, we would call the rankest 
growing, excessively weeping tree 
known. The new privet, Ibota, is valu¬ 
able, as we know from trial, for its 
white, fragrant panicles of flowers, and 
for its extreme hardiness. All with 
whom the “ California privet does not 
thrive, should secure it.” The purple¬ 
leaved plum is a shrub, described as 
retaining its purple color until frost. 
All that has been said of the new rose, 
Crimson Rambler, is indorsed by this 
firm. It is no doubt a grand acquisi¬ 
tion. A colored plate shows the pani¬ 
cles to be 10 inches high, eight inches 
through, and to consist of no less than 
100 crimson i-oses about an inch in diam¬ 
eter. 
H. G. Faust & Co., 64 North Front 
Street, Philadelphia, Pa.—A catalogue of 
seeds for florists, market gardeners and 
farmers, 64 pages, 16 pages of specialties. 
Good News, a medium early potato, 
yielded, in a trial of “85 heavy yielders,” 
the handsomest tubers, and gave the 
largest yield. Particular attention is 
called to page 13—a descriptive list of 
Japan flower seeds—chrysanthemums, 
iris, pgeonies, etc. 
I. & J. L. Leonard, Iona Nurseries, 
Iona, N. J.—Wholesale and retail price 
list. Plants of asparagus, sweet pota¬ 
toes, tomatoes, egg and celery a specialty. 
The prices are very reasonable. The El¬ 
mira asparagus is prized for the “ im¬ 
mense size of the stalks, averaging four 
pounds’ weight to the bunch of 12 
stalks.” The catalogue offers the “ Ear¬ 
liest in the World ” tomato—$2 per 100 
transplanted plants. 
E. G. Packard, Dover, Del.—A cata¬ 
logue of “ Information About Crimson 
Clover, Berry Plants and Seed Corn, with 
Prices for the Best Varieties of Each.” 
The information given about Crimson 
clover, should alone induce our friends 
to send for this catalogue. It tells when, 
how and where to sow, how much seed 
per acre, plowing it under for manure, 
how regarded as a stock food and as an 
ensilage plant, for poultry and bees. 
The list of strawberries and raspberries 
comprises the best kinds. 
Pikenix Nursery Company, Blooming¬ 
ton, Ill.—A general catalogue of fruit 
and ornamental trees, shrubs, vines, 
hedge plants, etc. TIPs is catalogue No. 
2. Catalogue No. 3. is one of roses, 
greenhouse, bedding and herbaceous 
plants, etc. The Longworth No. 1 pear 
is described as the pear for the North¬ 
west on account of its extreme hardiness. 
It is prized for other reasons. The tree 
is wholly free from blight. It is, as 
claimed, an enormous bearer of fruit, 
medium to large, nearly round ; flesh 
rather coarse, juicy, sugary and of good 
flavor. Ripens in September.
