Catalogues for 1900. 
C. E. Whitten, Bridgman, Mich.— 
Catalogue of small fruit plants, Straw¬ 
berries that Grow; 20 pages. The Ex¬ 
celsior strawberry is recommended as 
being earlier and of better quality than 
Michel’s Early. 
Plant Seed Co., St. Louis, Mo.—Cata 
logue of garden and farm seeds; 74 
pageB. A full list of flower seeds and 
bulbs is included. A photo-engraving of 
Triumph watermelons, weighing 135 and 
148% pounds respectively, is shown on 
cover. This is an excellent melon in 
the South, but does not appear to suc¬ 
ceed north of Virginia. 
D. Landretii & Sons, Philadelphia, 
Pa. — Catalogue of American - grown 
seeds; 66 pages. This well-known house 
is one of the oldest in America, having 
reached its 116th year of continuous 
business. It is not necessary to say that 
every standard variety worth having 
may be found described in this cata¬ 
logue. Full of useful information, and 
well illustrated with photographic re¬ 
productions. 
J. Van Lindley Nursery Co. —Cata¬ 
logue of nursery stock grown at Pomona 
Hill Nurseries, Pomona, N. C.; 64 pages. 
A very full and careful selection of fruit 
and ornamental trees, shrubs and 
plants. The Carman peach is highly 
recommended, and is given a prominent 
place. It has been described both as a 
white and a yellow peach, but Mr. Van 
Lindley says it does not strictly belong 
to either class. The skin is yellowish 
white, dotted and flusned red, and the 
flesh is creamy white. 
Siebrecht & Sons, New Rochelle, N. 
Y.—Catalogue of Rose Hill Nurseries; 66 
pages. A beautiful work, devoted to 
rare plants grown in one of the most ex¬ 
tensive horticultural establishments in 
the country. Richly illustrated with 
half-tone pictures of the rare plants al¬ 
ways carried in stock. It is always a 
treat to look over this handsome cata¬ 
logue. Very few of us have facilities for 
growing the lovely tropical plants so 
profusely illustrated, but there is also 
an extensive collection of hardy varie¬ 
ties suitable for garden and door-yard 
planting. 
Schlegel & Fottler, Boston, Mass.— 
Catalogue of seeds and bulbs; 122 pages. 
An extensive collection, covering the 
whole field of garden varieties. No ex¬ 
clusive novelties, but everything of 
promise sent out by other firms is listed. 
Many scarce and little-known bulbs and 
seeds are offered, among which is no¬ 
ticed the rare Acidanthera bicolor, a 
bulbous plant of a Gladiolus-like charac¬ 
ter, but producing white, sweet-scented 
flowers. A choice assortment of im¬ 
ported vegetable seeds is included in 
this large assortment. 
F. B. Mills, Rose Hill, N. Y.—Cata¬ 
logue of seeds and mailing plants; 66 
pages. Lithograpned covers, showing 
several novelties in flowering plants and 
vegetables, for which substantial prizes 
are offered to the lucky competitors in 
a contest for original names. Mills's 
Endurance potato is claimed to be 
drought and blighc^proof. It has been 
grown for several years, and has been 
highly commended by individual grow¬ 
ers, and by experiment station tests. 
Ginseng culture is advocated, and a “be¬ 
ginner’s collection” of seeds and plants 
is offered. 
R. M. Kellogg, Three Rivers, Mich.— 
"Great crops of small fruits and how to 
grow them.” An exceedingly interest¬ 
ing and useful combined manual and 
catalogue of small fruit plants. The 
cultural directions are most thoroughly 
written, and based on the immense 
practical experience of the author. The 
beautiful pictures scattered throughout 
the work form a fine portrait gallery of 
strawberries as they appear to date. 
The list of varieties offered is most 
carefully chosen, and the most inex¬ 
perienced buyer will not find it easy to 
go wrong in selecting from this tested 
collection. 
The Jewell Nursery Co., Lake City, 
Minn.—Nursery stock from the Far 
North; 42 pages. This firm makes a 
specialty of propagating stock suitable 
for planting in cold latitudes. The Oka- 
bena apple is extremely hardy. The ap¬ 
ples are highly colored, with a charac¬ 
teristic band of crimson extending from 
stem to blossom. It is of fine quality 
and a good keeper. Several new apples 
from a famous seedling orchard in Iowa 
are offered as distinct acquisitions. The 
Aiken is considered the finest native 
plum yet discovered. The North Star 
currant more than hold its own in the 
Northwest in hardiness and productive 
quality. Handsome colored plates of 
Aiken plum, Rudbeckia Golden Glow 
and Rambler roses are included in the 
catalogue.
