168 
Catalogues for 1900. 
Geo. W. P. Jerrard Co., Caribou, Me. 
—Catalogue of seed potatoes, grains and 
seeds; 30 pages, illuminated covers. A 
general collection of seeds grown dur¬ 
ing the short Summers of northern 
Maine. Seed potatoes form the great 
specialty of this enterprising firm. They 
have introduced many good varieties in 
past years, and now offer Northern 
Beauty as a worthy successor to the 
Early Rose. It is claimed to be fully 
as early, a more robust grower, of finer 
form, and the highest possible cooking 
quality. 
J. H. Hale, Glastonbury, Conn.— 
Hale’s fruits for 1900; 16 pages, many 
illustrations in half tone. A very choice 
selection of orchard and garden fruits, 
based on the great experience of this 
widely-known grower. Maximus is 
offered as the biggest and best straw¬ 
berry, which is claiming a good deal. 
Worthy raspberry is the most produc¬ 
tive known, and is larger than any 
other early raspberry. Red May plum 
is a new extra-early cross between Wild 
Goose and Abundance, of great promise. 
All of Burbank’s newest plums, and the 
very fine chestnuts, McFarland, Coe and 
Hale, are offered at very reasonable 
prices. 
Jos. H. Black, Son & Co., Hightstown, 
N. J.—Catalogue of stock grown at Vil¬ 
lage Nurseries; 48 pages. One of the 
most interesting features of this relia¬ 
ble catalogue is the space given to the 
pedigree strawberries, originated by a 
member of the firm. They are the re¬ 
sults of careful and persistent hybridiza¬ 
tion and selection for the purpose of 
breeding a better market berry than has 
hitherto been secured. Seven varieties 
are offered, which are worthy of careful 
consideration by planters, as is evi¬ 
denced by many trial notes that have 
appeared in The R. N.-Y. for several 
years past. All the varieties seem to 
have their special good qualities, among 
which extreme vigor predominates. The 
public must make the final selection, 
and render the verdict on these promis¬ 
ing varieties. The nursery list is ex¬ 
tensive, and includes the latest novelties 
as well as the standards. The Emperor 
peach, a fine late variety somewhat re¬ 
sembling Late Crawford, is strongly re¬ 
commended. The Mercer cnerry, an¬ 
other introduction of this firm, is con¬ 
stantly gaining favor and oeing largely 
planted. All of Burbank’s newest plums 
are offered. The Holderbaum peach, an 
immense and very hardy little-known 
variety from the mountains of western 
Pennsylvania, is listed with other peach 
novelties. 
J. G. Harrison & Sons, Berlin, Md.— 
Catalogue of fruit trees and plants; 38 
pages. This enterprising firm offers an 
immense stock of fruit-bearing trees 
and plants, all of their own production. 
The design on the first page shows Mr. 
Harrison and his sons, each vignetted 
against a fruit specialty. They say in 
the introduction: “This design was got 
up in no hap-hazard way, but for a pur¬ 
pose It is intended to show that each 
member of our firm has his special de¬ 
partment and personally supervises it. 
Everything connected with the business 
is personally superintended by a mem¬ 
ber of the firm, from the planting of the 
seed to the loading on cars. The Hero 
strawberry is an exclusive novelty with 
tnis firm. “It is large, well-formed, of 
dark red color, showing the color clear 
through. Of most excellent flavor and 
not only tastes delicious while eating, 
but leaves a pleasant after-taste. Solid, 
and stands long shipment.” What we 
all want is a good-sized, productive 
strawberry of high flavor, ana it is to be 
hoped that it is to be found in the Hero. 
Other special new strawberries are the 
Parson’s Beauty, Bush cluster, and Cob- 
den Queen. The /ictor peach is offered 
as the earliest variety known, ripening 
10 days earlier than the Sneeu. Said to 
be a seedling of the Chinese Cling, and 
a variety of the Indian type. The 
Frances and Mathews are of the Elberta 
type, but later, and possess differ¬ 
ences that are likely to make them val¬ 
uable. Mammoth Black Twig, York 
Imperial, Winesap ana Ben Davis are 
given as the sure winners among apples. 
The first three have high quality as well 
as other desirable characteristics, but 
the least said of Ben Davis, in this re¬ 
spect, the better. 
The Conard & Jones Co., West Grove, 
Pa.—-New Floral Guide for 1900; 132 
pages; lithographed cover, showing new 
roses and Cannas. A very extensive col¬ 
lection of flowers, seeds and ornamental 
plants. This firm has put more earnest 
and systematic work in the develop¬ 
ment of Cannas and hardy roses adapted 
for the American climate than any other 
in the country. In addition to the in¬ 
troductions of former years, they offer 
fi pew hybrid tea rose Safrano x Magna 
Charta, producing freely very highly- I 
scented and perfectly-formed large 
blooms, and a hybrid Wichuraiana, Alba 
Rubifolia, so named from the large 
double white flowers and bright red col¬ 
or of the young wood and foliage. It is 
a strong, rampant grower, with nearly 
evergreen foliage, which remains all 
Winter in sheltered localities. Helene 
is a new European climbing rose; a 
seedling of Crimson Rambler, and said 
to exceed it in beauty and size of flow¬ 
ers. It has the advantage of being al¬ 
most thornless, but it will take a very 
fine rose to beat Crimson Rambler. 
Gruss an Teplitz is the finest red ever- 
blooming rose introduced in a genera¬ 
tion. For general thriftiness, freedom 
of bloom, brilliancy of color and fra¬ 
grance it exceeds any rose of its class 
we have tested. It appears to be quite 
hardy. A number of new Cannas in 
deep orange, crimson, and rose shades, 
of large size and perfect form, are an¬ 
nounced; 35 pages are devoted exclusive¬ 
ly to roses, and the remaining 97 di¬ 
vided between an extensive list of plants 
and flower seeds.
