THE RURAL NEW-YORKER 
March 8 
Catalogues for 1902. 
[CONTINUED.] 
Old Colony Nurseries, Plymouth, 
Mass.—Price list of ornamental trees, 
shrubs and hardy plants. This old and 
well-known nursery lists an extensive 
collection of hardy ornamental stock of 
all kinds. 
Schlegel & Fottler Co., Boston, 
Mass.—Catalogue of seeds, bulbs and 
plants; 112 pages. A most extensive col¬ 
lection, covering all garden requisites. 
All the promising foreign and home nov¬ 
elties are quoted at introducers’ prices. 
James J. H. Gregory & Sons, Marble¬ 
head, Mass.—Catalogue of vegetable and 
flower seeds; 78 pages. Nothing more 
complete and reliable in the way of seed 
catalogues comes to our table. The de¬ 
scriptions are always original and in¬ 
teresting. 
H. S. Wiley, Cayuga, N. Y.—Cata¬ 
logue of Cayuga Nurseries. A business 
fiuit-growers’ catalogue, offering a large 
and safe collection of all marketable 
fruits. While the variety lists are very 
full, few sorts without special value are 
offered. The profitable standard varie¬ 
ties are all plainly indicated. 
L. L. May & Co., St. Paul, Minn.— 
Catalogue of northern-grown seeds, 
plants and fruits; 112 pages, colored 
cover. A large catalogue with an ex¬ 
tensive assortment of articles. There 
are many illustrations, some very good 
and others crude. All standard seecjs 
and plants are listed, and some varieties 
appear with names not found elsewhere. 
Griffith & Turner, Baltimore, Md.— 
Catalogue of seeds and implements; 
144 pages, colored cover. Being pub¬ 
lished in the midst of the richest mar¬ 
ket garden district in the United States, 
it lists about every requisite for farm 
and garden except live stock. Nearly 
half the pages are given to seeds and 
plants, and the remainder to tools and 
sundries, of which there is a bewilder¬ 
ing variety. 
Wm. Henry Maule, Philadelphia, Pa. 
—Silver Anniversary Seed Catalogue; 
136 pages, colored cover and plates. This 
is a handsome catalogue, celebrating the 
twenty-fifth anniversary of the business, 
and is worthy of this important occa¬ 
sion. The color work is much better 
than Mr. Maule has ever given us before. 
There is an endless list of garden, 
flower and farm seeds and plants. 
Everything likely to be wanted exclusive 
of heavy machinery and orchard trees 
is offered. All the excellent novelties 
previousls'' sent out and many new ones 
are described. 
D. Landreth & Sons, Philadelphia, 
Pa.—Landreth’s Seed Catalogue; 80 
pages, handsome colored cover. This is 
by far the finest catalogue ever sent out 
by this long-established firm, whose bus¬ 
iness dates back to 1784. The numerous 
illustrations are well selected, and most 
of them are in half-tone. The great spe¬ 
cialty of this time-honored house is 
high-class garden seeds, though a selec¬ 
tion of fruit and ornamental plants is 
offered. There is an extensive list of 
novelties and selected new varieties of 
vegetable seeds. The mail order depart¬ 
ment has been placed in charge of the 
well-known James Vick, of Rochester, 
N Y. 
W. Atlee Burpee & Co., Philadel¬ 
phia, Pa.—Burpee’s Farm Annual for 
1902, 134 pages, colored plates of new 
vegetables and flowers. This catalogue 
is always well-arranged and full of in¬ 
terest. A striking novelty is the new 
Black Beauty eggplant. The market is 
now monopolized by the New York Pur¬ 
ple type, which is of fine appearance, 
though of rather low quality, and a new 
variety of merit will be welcomed. Black 
Beauty is said to be 10 days earlier than 
the purple type now popular, of large 
size and fine flavor; rich purple black 
in color, with the calyx free from 
troublesome thorns. Other specialties 
are the Early Baseball cabbage. Brittle 
wax beans, Halbert Honey watermelons, 
and Fordhook Famous cucumber, which 
is claimed to be a cross between White 
Spine and a European forcing variety. 
J. M. Tiioreurn & Co., New York.— 
Thorburn’s seed catalogue, 128 pages. 
The present issue marks the one hun- 
dred-and-first anniversary of this well- 
known firm. The issue is very neat 
and attractive; some of the splendid 
half-tone illustrations of last year are 
retained, and new ones are added. A 
long list of foreign and home novelties 
in vegetables and flowers is offered. The 
Houser cabbage is described as being 
two weeks later than any other, hard- 
heading and an excellent keeper. The 
new potato, “Crines Lightning,” is of¬ 
fered as promising better than anything 
For the land’s sake, use Bowker’s Fer¬ 
tilizers. They enrich the earth.— Adv. 
brought forward since the introduction 
of Carman No. 1. It is extra early; al¬ 
though the vines and potatoes grow the 
entire season, the tubers look well at 
any size. It is of russet color, extremely 
productive and of high quality. The 
new Salvia splendens, Little Lord Faunt- 
leroy, grows only 18 inches, and has 
flower spikes eight inches long. 
Ross Brothers, Worcester, Mass.— 
Catalogue of seeds and agricultural im¬ 
plements; 112 pages, colored cover. A 
large and attractive catalogue, about 
equally divided between garden and 
farm seeds and farm requisites, of which 
there is an immense variety. The cata¬ 
logue is neatly got up and well illus¬ 
trated. 
Northrop, King & Co., Minneapolis, 
Minn.—Catalogue of garden and farm 
seeds; 80 pages, many illustrations. A 
very extensive list of seeds, mostly 
grown in the Far North. Among spe¬ 
cialties we notice the Matchless Wonder 
and Teddy Roosevelt table peas. The 
former is an extremely early wrinkled 
pea, of as good quality as Champion of 
England. Teddy Roosevelt is a large- 
podded main-crop pea, giving double the 
usual quantity of shelled peas. 
R. M. Kellogg, Three Rivers, Mich.— 
Catalogue of strawberry plants; 32 
pages, elaborately illustrated. This is 
more than a plant catalogue;it is an 
original treatise on plant physiology 
and special fruit culture, especially as 
regards propagation from selected 
plants. Twenty-four pages of this hand¬ 
some and unique publication are given 
to useful information, and the re¬ 
mainder to the business department. 
The list of varieties covers about every¬ 
thing of practical value to date. The 
Lucretia dewberry is the only fruit of¬ 
fered besides the strawberries. 
The Conard & Jones Co., West Grove, 
Pa.—New Floral Guide, 134 pages; fine 
colored cover showing giant scarlet Or¬ 
chid-flowering Canna Pennsylvania, 
and the new Crimson Rambler rose 
Philadelphia. Both of these fine novel¬ 
ties are productions of the Rural 
Grounds, and therefore we may not say 
much about them at this time. The 
new Climbing Clothilde Soupert is 
strongly endorsed, and from the result 
of our trials so far deserves much com¬ 
mendation. All the roses worth grow¬ 
ing in America, and an endless list of 
desirable plants, together with a large 
assortment of flower seeds, are offered 
in the body of the catalogue. 
FAT NERVES. 
A whirl of excitement was 
recently caused among scien¬ 
tists by the discovery of “how 
nerves act”. 
Healthy nerves are fat 
nerves. It is fat in the core of 
a nerve that by hardening and 
softening creates nerve action. 
Maybe this explains why 
Scott’s Emulsion has always 
been such a remarkable 
remedy for nervousness, 
Scott’s Emulsion makes fat 
nerves. It feeds them with fat, 
Good for all forms of nervous¬ 
ness and for neuralgia.
