THE RURAL NEW-YORKER. 
February 27 
E J. Hull, Olyphant, Lackawanna 
County, Pa —A catalogue of strawber¬ 
ries (a specialty) and other small fruits. 
West Michigan Nurseries, Benton 
Harbor, Mich.—A circular which offers 
special combinations of peach, pear, and 
cherry trees. 
D. B. Garvin’s Sons, Wheeling, West 
Va.—A price list of small fruits, plants, 
vines, fruit and ornamental trees. The 
firm thinks well of the Alice grape. 
R. S. Johnson, Georgetown, Del.—A 
price list of the leading varieties of 
peaches and plums. The smaller trees 
may be sent by mail prepaid, 25 trees 
for $1, or 100 trees for $3. 
L. L. Olds, Clinton, Wis.—A catalogue 
of seed potatoes, etc. Attention is called 
to the Vigorosa potato, The R. N.-Y.’s 
report of which appeared on page 38 
Success barley and Reed’s yellow dent 
corn are specialties. 
John W. Hale, Marion Station, Som¬ 
erset County, Md.—Descriptive cata¬ 
logue of pedigree seed potatoes. A good 
deal of space is given to the considera¬ 
tion of true second-crop potatoes and 
why they are superior to home and 
northern-grown seed. Readers are cau¬ 
tioned against the counterfeit second- 
crop seed potatoes. 
E. T. Ingram, West Chester, Pa.—A 
descriptive price list of strawberry 
plants, the Miller, red, the Kansas, 
Eureka and Hilborn, black raspberries 
The Glen Mary strawberry, which has 
done so well at the Rural Grounds, is a 
specialty. The trade price is S3 per 103 
or $15 per 1,000. The popular Brandy¬ 
wine strawberry was introduced by this 
firm. 
Nanz & Neuner, Louisville, Ky.—A 
first-class catalogue of 112 pages, of fruit 
and ornamental trees, small fruits, 
plants and bulbs. Roses, cannas, car¬ 
nations, chrysanthemums, geraniums, 
hardy and tender conservatory and bed¬ 
ding plants occupy a considerable por¬ 
tion of the catalogue. Asparagus Spren- 
gerii, several new begonias, the new 
climbing roses, Yellow Rambler, Pink 
Rambler and White Rambler, the Great 
White California poppy, are among the 
many specialties offered. 
E. W. Allen, Wolverton, Minn.—A 
catalogue of Allen’s Red River seed 
potatoes. The catalogue is rendered val¬ 
uable by an instructive article on the 
Red River Valley, and Mr. Allen’s method 
of growing and handling seed potatoes. 
The system of cold storage for preserv¬ 
ing seed in a dormant condition through 
the winter enables him to send out 
solid, unsprouted seed, so that he can 
place stock in any part of the country 
as early as other seedsmen. All small 
lots are sent with the express charges 
prepaid. 
Vaughan's Seed Store, Chicago and 
New York.—An interesting catalogue of 
112 pages of seeds of all sorts, bedding 
plants, small fruits, etc. Four colored 
pages show the Japanese Imperial morn- 
ing-glorys, many specialties among vege¬ 
tables and pansies and, finally, the new 
Giant Orchid yellow canna, Burbank. 
This is regarded as the best yellow 
which has been produced. The flowers 
are said to be twice as large as Madame 
Crozy, and a growing clump of the plant 
often produces 15 to 20 flower spikes. 
The new Tyrolian oats is said to be 
especially adapted to locations where 
the farmer cannot drill in his oats as 
early as is necessary to insure a good 
crop. It is said, also, to be much har¬ 
dier than other oats, which enables it to 
withstand drought and wet weather. 
John Bauscher Jr., Freeport, HI.— 
This catalogue of 80 pages is pretty 
equally divided between poultry illustra¬ 
tions and descriptions and vegetable arid 
flower seeds. The new White Beauty 
sunflower, Bauscher’s Earliest of All 
muskmelon, Earliest Rosy Gem radish, 
Bauscher’s Earliest of All beet, and 
New Improved Chantenay carrot are the 
subjects of a colored page.

Fresh-Dug Dansville Trees this season show an increase of over 100 
per cent over lastseason—more than double. You can see what that means: 
that our trees are our best advertisement. They have WON their high reputa¬
