C. E. Whitten, Bridgman, Mich.—Cata¬ 
logue of small fruit plants; 20 pages. The 
collection of varieties has been most care¬ 
fully selected, and one may safely invest 
in anything offered. The Excelsior and 
Nic Ohmer strawberries are strongly com¬ 
mended. 
A. N. Jones, Newark, N. Y.—Circular of 
new hybrid beans and wheats. Mr. Jones 
has accomplished the difficult task of cross¬ 
ing varieties of wax beans, with the idea 
of getting a bean of the most productive 
type with white seeds. His splendid hybrid 
wheats are well known. 
The Cassel Nursery Co., North Clay¬ 
ton, Ohio.—List of fruit trees, stocks, 
grafts, and description of the Centennial 
apple, “of iron-clad hardiness, as early as 
Yellow Transparent, better keeper than 
Baldwin.” Medium size, light red in color, 
subacid in flavor. 
Silas Wilson Nurseries, Atlantic, Iowa. 
—Price list of a choice and full selection of 
nursery stock, both fruit and ornamental, 
also special circular and colored plate of

This is the thirtieth year of this concern. 
Reliance Nursery Co., Geneva, N. Y.— 
Lithographed cover showing new peaches 
and plums; 20 pages. Orchard and small 
fruits are the principal feature, but a se¬ 
lected list of ornamentals is added. The 
Burbank and Wickson plums and Fitz¬ 
gerald and Elberta peaches are given 
prominence.

ville, N. Y.—Catalogue of nursery stock; 26 
pages. A full list of orchard and small 
fruits, as well as ornamental trees and

L. J. Farmer, Pulaski, N. Y.—Catalogue 
of small fruits and hardy plants, 16 pages. 
A comprehensive list of the best small 
fruits. The Rough Rider strawberry is 
given the place of honor, as the best of all 
late berries, in productiveness, flavor, and 
shipping quality. Its great merits are be¬ 
coming known, and it is likely to be widely 
planted. 
Ford Seed Co., Ravenna, Ohio.—Twen¬ 
tieth annual catalogue of garden and farm 
seeds, nursery stock, etc.; 58 pages. “Not 
many pictures, but lots of good seeds,” is 
the motto of this firm, and it is well borne 
out in the make-up of this very business¬ 
like catalogue. The collection of varieties 
offered is unexceptionable, and covers 
about everything except exclusive novelties. 
Highland Nursery Co., Rochester, N. 
Y.—Catalogue of choice nursery stock; 22 
pages. This catalogue stands alone in that 
all its illustrations are reproduced from 
photographs, and in consequence are abso¬ 
lutely reliable. The firm offers to replace 
free of charge any stock which fails to live, 
as well as the more usual guarantees. The 
list of varieties offered is intelligently se¬ 
lected, and comprises nearly everything 
worth growing. 
Lewis Roesch, Fredonia, N. Y.—Cata¬ 
logue of grape vines, fruit and ornamental 
trees, shrubs and plants; 32 pages. A busi¬ 
nesslike catalogue with a very full list of 
nursery stock. The Lucille grape, a seedling 
of Wyoming Red, is the great specialty. 
It is claimed to be earlier and much more 
prolific. The Early Daisy grape is first 
offered as the earliest of all grapes. It is 
a native Labrusca of the Telegraph type, 
but is claimed to be earlier and better. 
Geo. S. Josselyn, Fredonia, N. Y.—Cata¬ 
logue of grapes and small fruits. An excel¬ 
lent selection. The bulk of the catalogue 
is given up to testimonials of the very 
promising Campbell’s Early grape. An in¬ 
closed folder is occupied with the Josselyn 
gooseberry, heretofore known as Red 
Jacket. These fine fruits, together with the 
very familiar Fay’s currant, are sufficient 
to immortalize every introducer. 
Holmes’ Seed Catalogue, H. L. Holmes, 
Harrisburg, Pa.—A 40-page catalogue 
chiefly devoted to seeds. Many of the illus¬ 
trations are in half tone, direct from photo¬ 
graphs of the vegetables. The vegetable 
novelties offered are Limited Mail cabbage, 
Harrisburg Market Extra Early beet, and 
Kendal’s Early Giant corn. Prominence is 
given to the Rocky Ford muskmelon. The 
Rochester morning-glory and varieties of 
new large Cosmos are also offered as spe¬ 
cialties. Two pages are devoted to choice 
poultry and farm stock. 
W. M. Peters’ Sons, Wesley Station, Md. 
—Catalogue of fruit trees and plants; 34 
pages. Reproductions of views taken in a 
peach orchard in Queens Co., L. I., planted 
with trees from this enterprising firm, tell 
the story plainer than words. A complete 
and up-to-date collection of orchard trees 
and small fruits. Many fine illustrations 
are scattered through the book. The very 
fine Tennessee Winter apple, Mammoth 
Black Twig, often called Paragon, is 
recommended. It ought to be thoroughly 
tested throughout the North. 
J. A. Everitt, Indianapolis Ind.—Cata¬ 
logue of seed and farm requisites; 66 pages. 
An extensive list of garden and farm seeds, 
especially adapted to the Middle West, but 
including all worthy standards. Everitt’s 
Alpha pole bean is claimed to be the earli¬ 
est pole bean in existence, leading all other 
kinds by six weeks. Rough and Ready 
cabbage is the best keeper of all. The 
Great Kuttuwa dwarf tree tomato, a cross 
of the Dwarf Champion and New Stone, 
grows like a stubby tree, and supports its 
fruits off the ground; very early and pro¬ 
ductive, bright red, with a tough skin, mak¬ 
ing a good shipper. May be planted as 
close as 16 inches apart in the row. 
T. S. Hubbard Co., Fredonia, N. Y.— 
Grape vines and small fruits; 32 pages. A 
critically-selected list of the best known 
varieties, with carefully-written descrip¬ 
tions. Much useful information is con¬ 
tained in this neat little work. All the 
grapes are graded in an instructive table 
of comparative merit. No untested novel¬ 
ties are offered. 
D. M. Andrews, Boulder, Col.—Catalogue 
of seeds and plants; 28 pages. A most in¬ 
teresting list, comprising many rare and 
beautiful native plants. A fine collection of 
hardy western cacti is offered. These vari¬ 
eties have proven entirely hardy at Pitts¬ 
burgh, Pa., and in England. Mr. Andrews 
says they will endure 20 degrees below zero 
without harm if planted in dry exposed 
places. A surprisingly large number of 
species of various plants peculiar to Colo¬ 
rado is found in this catalogue. 
G. L. Taber, Glen St. Mary, Fla.—Cata¬ 
logue of the Glen St. Mary Nurseries; many 
photographic Illustrations. An interesting 
catalogue devoted to Citrus fruits and nur¬ 
sery stock adapted to southern planting. 
The dainty Kumquat or Gooseberry orange 
is offered on hardy C. trifoliata stocks as 
a very desirable fruit for pot culture in 
the North, as well as for southern plant¬ 
ing. The Kumquat and Satsuma or Oon- 
shiu orange form a meritorious pair of 
tropical fruits for extended cultivation. 
Many desirable Japan persimmons and a 
large selection of various fruits and orna¬ 
mentals are listed.

TART right. In painting, the first 
or priming coat is important. It 
is the foundation. It is a mistake 
to think anything is good enough 
for it. If a mixture of Zinc, Barytes, etc., 
is used the paint will surely crack and peel. 
The only safe paint for priming is Pure 
White Lead. It combines with the oil, form¬ 
ing a tough, elastic coat that penetrates and 
will adhere to the surface. The brands in 
the margin are genuine. 
For colors use National Lead Company’s Pure White 
r|f££ Lead Tinting Colors. Any shade desired is readily 
obtained. Pamphlet giving full information and show¬ 
ing samples of Colors, also pamphlet entitled “Uncle Sam’s Ex¬ 
perience With Paints ” forwarded upon application.

FARMER’S HANDY WAGON 
It is no longer necessary to offer 
arguments in favor of 
Low-Wheeled, 
Wide-Tire, 
Short-Turning, 
Broad-Platform 
Wagons. 
Every farmer 
knows he 
ought to have 
one; it i.s only 
a question of 
“where can I 
buy a good one 
with the least 
money.’’ 
The Farmer’s 
Handy Wagon 
Co., of Sagi¬ 
naw, Michigan, wero the 
first to build such a wagon, 
and the only ones who give 
the farmer a choico be¬ 
tween steel and wood wheels. 
They supplied 
the U. S. Gov¬ 
ernment with 
all the Trucks 
they used in 
the Cuban 
war. They 
build more 
Farm Trucks 
than all other 
builders com¬ 
bined.
