Catalogue Review 
Overflow. 
A. G. Hum. & Son, St. Catharines, Ont. 
—A catalogue of large and small fruits, 
ornamental trees, shrubs, roses, etc.—30 
pages. 
It. D. Cole, Bridgeton, N. J.—A price 
list of large and small fruits with in¬ 
structions, the result of 30 years’ ex¬ 
perience, of how to care for trees and 
plants upon arrival. 
O. A. E. Baldwin, Bridgman, Mich.— 
A catalogue (25 pages) of strawber¬ 
ries, raspberries, blackberries, currants, 
gooseberries, grape vines, etc.—straw¬ 
berry plants being a specialty. 
J. n. Lindsley, White House. N. J.— 
A special circular regarding the Crosby, 
Elberta, Champion and Iron Mountain 
peaches. These are offered by the 100 
for from $3 to $0, and by the dozen for 
from 50 cents to $1.25. 
T. Graham Ashmkad, Williamson, N. 
Y.—A circular setting forth the merits 
of the Columbian raspberry, and they 
are well set forth. Also a circular of S. 
C. Brown Leghorns and I’ekin Ducks. 
These are Mr. Ash mead’s specialties. He 
sells either the stock or the eggs. 
J. T. Thompson, Oneida, N. Y.—Mr. 
Thompson is the originator of the Colum¬ 
bian raspberry. It is an improved 
Shaffer's Colossal—improved in that the 
plants are hardier and of exceptional 
vigor; in that they bear more fruit and 
the berries cling more firmly to the stem. 
It is, without question, the best of its 
class. Many testimonials from good men 
show that our estimate of the Columbian 
is not exaggerated. 
L. J. Farmer, Pulaski, N. Y.—A cata¬ 
logue of berry plants, grape vines, etc. 
Mr. Farmer classifies strawberries in this 
wise : First, Lazyman's berries ; second, 
the Other Varieties, which will not stand 
neglect, yet do not require the very 
highest kind of culture : third, Those 
Requiring High Culture; fourth, My 
Own Selection. After testing hundreds 
of varieties, Mr. Farmer makes a list of 
his choice. A copy of “ Farmer on the 
Strawberry ” will be sent with all orders. 
William Elliott & Sons, 54 and 56 Dey 
Street, New York.—“ An Exhaustive 
Treatise on What to Huy and How to 
Grow Flower and Vegetable Seeds.” It 
is a large-sized catalogue of 85 pages, 
four of which are given to specialties. 
One colored page shows Elliott’s Earliest 
Market pea, Country Gentleman sweet 
corn. Trianon Cos lettuce, Elliott’s Per¬ 
fection celery, onions and radishes. One 
package each of these will be sent, post¬ 
paid, for 20 cents. Many other collec¬ 
tions are offered at reduced prices. An¬ 
other colored page shows single Dahlias, 
Cornflowers, single Chrysanthemums, 
dwarf Marvel of Peru ; the collection for 
50 cents. 
Geo S. Josselyn, Fredonia, N. Y.—A 
catalogue of small fruits as well as a 
pamphlet of 30 pages of “ What They 
Say” regarding Campbell’s Early grape. 
The R. N.-Y. has more and more occasion 
to feel glad that it was the first to tell 
in print of the merits of this new black 
grape whose introduction, we believe, 
marks one of those phenomenal advance¬ 
ments in grape culture, no less import¬ 
ant than was the introduction of the 
Concord or the Delaware. The pamphlet, 
“What They Say”, gives testimonials 
from the leading grape g-rowers of no 
less than 30 States and Territories to the 
effect that 1st, it is in quality better than 
the Concord; that 2nd, the pulp is less 
acid about the seeds ; that 3d, it is free 
of foxiness ; that 4th, it is nearly one 
month earlier than the Concord ; that 
5th, the berries and bunches are fully as 
large and that 6th, the vines are hardier. 
The above is our opinion of the Camp¬ 
bell’s Early in so far as we are informed, 
and in so far as our experience teaches 
us. On the last page of the catalogue, 
appears a colored portrait of a specimen 
bunch of the Campbell's Early. Mr. 
Josselyn is the introducer, also, of the 
Fay’s Prolific currant, and the Red 
Jacket gooseberry. 
T. S. Hubbard Co., Fredonia, N. Y.— 
Wholesale.price list (32nd year) of grape 
vines and small fruits. Established in 
1866, this firm now claims to have the 
largest stock of grape vines in the coun¬ 
try. Here are examples of the prices 
charged : 100 one-year-old Concords, $1 ; 
100 Brightons, $2 ; 100 Niagaras or Wor¬ 
dens, $1.20; 100 Catawbas, $1.40; J00 
Moore’s Early, $1.80. For scarcer varie¬ 
ties, or those that propagate less readily, 
higher prices are charged. For instance, 
100 Green Mountains are $11 ; Campbell’s 
Early, $60. The lists of other small 
fruits are full, and the prices equally 
moderate. 
Edward W. Cone, Menomonie, Wis.— 
A descriptive novelty list and report of 
new strawberries. Clyde, Arrow, Splen¬ 
did, Gertrude and Mary, are regarded as 
the leaders of the new kinds. Patrick, 
King,Worthy,Fountain, Kyle and Blonde 
are also described at length. 
Also, Cone’s Plant Book, that gives 
further information as to the best of the 
new strawberries. The new Weston 
strawberry is valued highly by many 
authorities, among them the Michigan 
Agricultural Station. Mr. Cone offers 
one variety of potato. It is the Early 
Pink Eye. He finds it earlier than any 
other variety that he has tried, and “ no 
other very early sort produces so large 
a crop of uniformly good tubers. It 
is one of the latest to sprout in storage, 
and is, therefore, an excellent keeper.” 
At the Rural Grounds, three hills yielded 
seven pounds, or at the rate of 564
