THE RURAL NEW-YORKER, 
165 
Catalogues for 1900. 
Flansburgh & Peirson, Leslie, Mich. 
—Catalogue of high-grade strawberry- 
plants and seed potatoes; 24 pages. The 
new strawberries, Pennell and Poco- 
moke, are recommended, respectively, 
for high flavor and beauty. Pennell is 
vigorous and productive; the fruit is 
dark red, and tinted all the way 
through; flavor like wild berries. Poco- 
moke is exceedingly firm and of good 
quality. It stands heat and cold, and 
yields more good berries all through 
the season tnan any other variety. The 
potatoes are judiciously selected, and 
every variety offered has positive merit. 
James Vick’s Sons, Rochester, N. Y.— 
Garden and Floral Guide for 1900; 126 
pages. This old favorite among horti¬ 
cultural catalogues comes to us with the 
most artistic and pleasing colored cover 
we have yet seen. Clematis and pansies 
form the subjects for the front and back 
pages, respectively. All che trade nov- 
A. arguta. The flowers are creamy 
white, and are said to be very fragrant. 
Much attention is given to the newer 
varieties of pseonies, which seem to be 
rapidly gaining favor, and the collection 
of new lilacs (Syringas) and garden 
roses is not eaualed elsewhere in the 
country. A most useful feature is the 
instructive classification of the different 
trees, shrubs and plants. The new 
hardy rose Gruss an Teplitz receives 
high commendation as a vigorous, free- 
blooming, highly-scented garden rose of 
great brilliancy of color. This accords 
with our own estimate of its character¬ 
istics as developed in our trials. 
Alfred Bridgeman, 37 East 19 th 
street, New York City.—Catalogue of 
seeds and garden requisites; 68 pages. 
This well-known seed house is now en¬ 
tering its seventy-sixth year of suc¬ 
cessful business. The catalogue, while 
showing no unnecessary elaboration, is 
most complete and interesting. About 
everything the conservative gardener 
TILE CHENILLE PLANT (Acalypha Sanderi). Fig. 56. 
el ties of both continents are offered 
with conservative descriptions. Vick’s 
lrondequoit musamelon is the best of 
over 50 varieties tested last season; 
large, rounu, and of the highest possible 
quality. An orange-fleshed sort. The 
large blue morning-glory Rochester is a 
remarkable development of the beauti¬ 
ful Japan type. The new geranium, 
George Sand, introduces a new race, dis¬ 
tinguished by delicate dots of carmine 
on white ground, and is a most desirable 
novelty. The general collection offered 
by this fine catalogue is unexcelled. 
R. M. Shumway, Rockford, Ill.— 
Shumway’s Garden Guide for 1900; 52 
large pages, lithographed cover. Mr. 
Shumway evidently considers his cus¬ 
tomers still in the kindergarten stage of 
horticultural knowledge. The cata¬ 
logue is without question very fully il¬ 
lustrated. A picture is provided for 
nearly every item in the catalogue, and 
as a rule it occupies several times the 
space appropriated to the descriptive 
letterpress. No space is used on untried 
novelties, but a very complete selection 
of standard seeds is offered. Many spe¬ 
cial strains are labeled with the pro¬ 
prietor’s name. The cultural directions 
on the first three pages are excellent. 
Taken altogether it is a very original 
catalogue. 
Ellwanger & Barry, Rochester, N. 
Y.—Catalogue of Mount Hope Nurseries, 
148 pages; beautifully ,iluminated cover 
showing new French lilacs. It is ever a 
pleasure to look over this splendid and 
reliable work, which is so full and com¬ 
plete that it leaves little to be said. The 
present issue is specially noticeable for 
tne large number of new photographic 
illustrations. Many novelties, which 
have endured the careful tests required, 
are now listed for the first time. The 
ornamental collection of this well- 
known nursery is unsurpassed. The 
true Actinidia polygama, with white 
leaves on the young snoots, is now 
placed in its rightful position besides 
may need is to be found between its 
covers. All the novelties sent out by 
foreign seedsmen are described in the 
opening pages. 
"Better Be Wise 
Than Rich." 
Wise people are aiso rich when they 
know a perfect remedy for all annoying 
diseases of the blood, kidneys, liver and 
bowels. It is Hood's Sarsaparilla, which 
is perfect in its action — so regulates the 
entire system as to bring vigorous health.

tion by Livingston to the tomato family. Is the most 
handsome sort in cultivation. Form perfect,uniform, 
large and attractive. Flesh very firm; robust grower; 
short joints; fruit clusters close together; a heavy
