’1 he specialties offered are from new va¬ 
rieties of tested excellence. 
Axookr.v Ncuskriks, Philadelphia, 
I’a.—Booklet of specialties; 32 pages, 
many beautiful illustrations. This is a 
gem in printing and make-ui). Various 
desirable trees, hardy shrubs and plants 
are described and figured in the daintiest 
imaginable way.

Seed annual for 1903; 100 pages, colored 
rover and plates of new vegetables and 
[lowers. The catalogues of this old and

seed production. In many respects this 
is the finest annual they have yet issued. 
T)ie Gko. a. .Swket Nursery Co.. 
Dansville. N. Y.—Catalogue of fruit trees 
and plants and general nursery stock; 
31 pages. A beautifully printed cata¬ 
logue covering the entire field of hardy 
nursery stock, but especially strong in 
orchard fruits. Descriptions and cul¬ 
tural directions are excellent and reli¬ 
able. 
The R. G. Chase Co., Geneva, N. Y.— 
Pi nit and ornamental trees and plants; 
uO pages. Beautifully printed and il¬ 
lustrated. This is a large general cata¬ 
logue of nursery productions. There 
are fine lists of varieties of the principal 
fruits including those desirable for home 
and dessert use, as well as for market 
purposes. 
Tiik Storrs & Harrison Co., Paines- 
ville, 0.—Catalogue of plants, seeds and 
iiursery stock; 170 pages. Roses, Cle¬ 
matis and new fi-uits are the subjects se¬ 
lected for the handsome colored cover. 
This extensive catalogue includes every¬ 
thing in the way of garden seeds, flower 
and fruit plants that may be needed. 
The nursery department is very large. 
Stki’hk.n Hoyt’s Sons, New Canaan, 
Conn.—Catalogue of fruit and ornamen¬ 
tal trees and plants; 48 pages. This is 
a lieautifully gotten-up catalogue with 
many original illustrations. Excellent 
cultural directions are given in regard 
to the principal fruits. The collection of 
varieties in both fruits and ornamentals 
is notably full. Nothing seems to be 
omitted that is suitable for cultivation 
in the North. 
.1. G. Harrison & Sons, Berlin, Md.— 
Catalogue of fruit trees and plants; 34 
pages, handsome colored cover. There 
are many larger catalogues, but few have 
as good a selection of fruit varieties 
suitable for cultivation in the Eastern 
States. There are not many untested 
novelties, but all late introductions of 
lU'omise are listed. The descriptions are 
full, but accurate and temperate in tone. 
The fine list of peaches divided into nine 
■’ripenings” is notable. 
Aeken L. Wood, Rochester, N. Y.— 
Catalogue of Woocllawn Nurseries, 30 
liages, illustrated. A general list of fruit 
trees and plants. The Mills blackcap 
raspberry is considered the best grown. 
It is offered as the most productive 
hardy, large-fruited kind. The McKinley 
is the earliest fine white grape, a cross 
between Niagara and Moore’s Early, and 
is 10 days earlier than the former va¬ 
riety. A guarantee is made to refund 
the price paid for this grape if it does 
not turn out as represented. 
D. La.ndreth & Sons, Philadelphia, 
Pa.—Seeds for farm and garden; 82 
t»ages, colored cover showing Tuberous 
Begonias and new vegetables. A large 
and excellent catalogue from one of the 
oldest houses in the trade. Among the 
specialties is noticed Landreth’s Mam¬ 
moth-seeded Golden Wax Mohawk bean, 
which bears pods as long as its name, 
judging from the accompanying photo¬ 
graph. The seeds of this bean are said 
to be veritable monsters, double the size 
of the popular Mohawk, one of its par¬ 
ents. It. is very early and of good qual¬ 
ity. The Tennessee. Wonder is a big 
showy pole bean of type popular in the 
South. 
W. Ati.ee BuTti’EK & Co., Philadelphia. 
Pa.—Burpee’s Farm Annual; 18G pages, 
finely colored representations of new 
eggplants, onions, watermelons, sweet 
corn, tomatoes, sw'eet peas and Nastur¬ 
tiums, many conservative illustrations. 
One of the most compact and meritorious 
of seedsmen’s publications. Among ex¬ 
clusive novelties Burpee’s White Ever¬ 
green table corn heads the list. It is 
hard to beat Stowell’s Evergreen for 
general excellence, but the new kind is 
said to be an ideal type of the reliable 
old standard. It is pure white in cob and 
kernel, vigorous and large, and of the 
most delicious flavor. The Black Beauty 
eggplant, an introduction of last year, 
has been tested on the Rural Grounds, 
I'llE RURAL NEW-YORKER, 
and found of real value from the deep 
and lustrous color and fine quality of the 
fruits. A new potato. Vermont Gold 
Coin, is claimed to he the “hardiest and 
most vigorous in growth, most produc¬ 
tive and best in table quality of all.’ 
These great claims are liacked up with 
liberal prize offers for the best yields 
and descriptions of the variety. Burpee’s 
Hailstone radish is the ‘‘quickest grow¬ 
ing radish on record,” being ready for 
the table under proper conditions of 
growth in 15 to 19 days from sowing. It 
is round, snow-white in color, and of a 
crisp, mild flavor. There are many oth¬ 
er specialties and an unrivalled list of 
standard varieties. 
.loiiN A. Saj.zkr Seed Co.. La Crosse, 
Wis.—Catalogue of farm and garden 
seeds; 138 pages, colored cover, many as¬ 
tonishing colored plates and wood cuts. 
The Salzer catalogues have been keyed 
UP so high in past years that any lack of 
emphasis in the present number would 
be noticeable, so the announcement of 
the new $5,000,000 tomato is quite in 
keeping. This remarkable tomato laughs 
at drought and always produces large 
fruits of phenomenal quality. There are 
other things just as astonishing, and in¬ 
cidentally a long list of good standard 
varieties that will answer all reasonable 
expectations.
