a pound in weight, well filled with 
straight rows of a deep golden color. 
Success barley is described as the result 
of 20 years of experimenting. Its special 
merits are “ productiveness, earliness, 
proof against bugs and, most important 
of all, has absolutely no beards. It may 
be fed to stock without fear of injury.” 
See Fig. 63. 
Enos W. Dunham, Stevensville, Mich. 
—A descriptive catalogue and price-list 
of the Grand Mere Plant Farms. This 
catalogue makes strawberries a specialty, 
and the list is well selected. There are 
58 varieties offered. 
Isaac C. Rogers, Dansville, N. Y.—A 
catalogue of fruits of all kinds, that is 
particularly interesting in special ways. 
For example, 100 trees, 10 of a kind, are 
offered for six cents each. They may be 
made up of apples, standard and dwarf 
pears, plums §,nd cherries, or all of any 
one. Mr. Rogers claims that he issues 
the only catalogue which tells the whole 
truth wherever known, regardless of 
self-interests. The Principles of Breed¬ 
ing Applied to Trees, is interesting. Top 
Budding and How to Do It, is an instruc¬ 
tive article. The best of the Japan plums 
are offered at exceedingly low prices. 
Myeu & Son, Bridgeville, Delaware.— 
A catalogue of peach, plum, including 
the leading Japan kinds, apple, pear and 
cherry trees, grape vines and small fruits. 
The Columbian, it is claimed, is the 
largest grape ever introduced. The new 
Seaford strawberry is several days ear¬ 
lier than Bubach. In a trial side by side, 
Seaford bore “ four times as many bas¬ 
kets to the row as Bubach. In size and 
shape, they are much alike.” The Car¬ 
man peach receives high praise : “ In this 
new, hardy rot-proof peach, ripening 
at the same time as Early Rivers, yet al¬ 
most as large and fine as Elberta itself, 
we have a peach of great market value ; 
large, roundish, with pale yellow skin, 
red blush on sunny side; white flesh, 
tender and melting ; rich, sweet and of 
superior flavor ; by far the finest of any 
peach ripening ahead of Mountain Rose. 
The nurseryman who fails to propagate 
the Carman will soon learn his mistake. 
A big, early, yellow-skinned peach of 
high quality is sure to be in great de¬ 
mand. Don’t miss the Carman !” • 
F. B. Mills, Rose Hill, Onondaga Coun¬ 
ty, N. Y.—A general catalogue of farm, 
garden and flower seeds. Seed field corn 
is one of the specialties, and among 
them the “ Great Mortgage Lifter corn ” 
is praised superlatively. It is a yellow 
dent resembling the Chester County 
Mammoth, as we judge, except that it 
will mature in from 85 to 95 days. Mr. 
Mills has records of fields producing 
from 107 to 118 bushels per acre. “ It 
has the longest grain of any yellow 
dent in cultivation. The plants grow 
from seven to 11 feet high. It will out- 
yield any other corn. The ears are a 
foot long, with from 14 to 22 rows.” 
Most of the space in this catalogue is 
given to beet, cabbage, corn, melon, 
onion and tomato seeds. The Mortgage- 
Lifter potato, it is claimed, is the earliest 
and most productive variety in cultiva¬ 
tion. 
J. G. Harrison & Sons, Berlin, Mary¬ 
land.—A catalogue of peach, plum, ap¬ 
ple trees, strawberry plants, asparagus 
roots, Miller Red raspberry. “ No scale, 
no yellows, no rosette has been found in 
our county.” This catalogue strikes us 
as one we should not hesitate to order 
from. Note what is said regarding the 
Star and Marguerite strawberries. The 
strawberry list is of the best, and the 
descriptions are conservative ; 70 differ¬ 
ent kinds are offered at from 20 cents a 
dozen by mail, from 50 cents upwards 
by the hundred postpaid, and by express, 
not prepaid, much less in larger quanti¬ 
ties. The $1 collections of strawber¬ 
ries, raspberries, currants, peach trees, 
etc., are real bargains if we may assume, 
as we do, that the firm is trustworthy. 
Of the comparatively new red raspberry, 
Miller, it is said: “It ripens with the 
earliest. In productiveness, it is equal 
to any other. It has no equal as a ship¬ 
per. It is perfectly hardy. The quality 
is unsurpassed.” 
Miss C. H. Lippincott, Minneapolis, 
Minn.—A 48-page catalogue, with col¬ 
ored covers, of flower seeds. “ The 
largest exclusively flower seed house in 
the world.” “ The pioneer seedswoman 
of America.” “ I do not deal in plants, 
bulbs, or vegetable seeds of any descrip¬ 
tion.” These tell the story of a great 
business, conceived, inaugurated, con¬ 
ducted and successfully carried on by a 
woman. And it seems peculiarly fitting, 
too, that such a business should be con¬ 
ducted by a woman'. Every woman who 
loves flowers should have this catalogue. 
Many seeds are offered for three, four 
and five cents per packet, and the num¬ 
ber of seeds in a packet is given, so that 
one may know just what to expect. Bar¬ 
gain collections are offered which render 
still lower the already low prices—15 
varieties for 25 cents, 10 choice annuals 
for 12 cents, etc. Floral Culture, con¬ 
taining full cultural directions, is given 
as a premium with every order, if re¬ 
quested on the order.

Why Is It 
So many of our leading Fruit Growers 
are of the same opinion, W. P. Haines, of 
Cedarville, O., writes, February 8, 1898 : 
“ The Fruit Trees that I bought from S. 
W. Call, Perry, O., last November, were 
received in fine condition and were the 
best Trees that I ever received from any 
nursery. I shall recommend Call’s Nur¬ 
series, Perry, O., to any one wanting Fruit 
Trees .” Call makes a specialty of dealing 
direct with the farmers. If you wish the 
best , send to him for Price List.
