1897 
THE RURAL NEW-YORKER. 
r 35 
John R. & Wm. P\rry, Parry, N. J.— 
A catalogue of fruit trees, nut trees and 
small fruits. The Bismarck and Starr 
apples are among the novelties this year 
as they were last. 
0. E. Kelley, Newark, N. Y.—A price¬ 
list of western New York seed potatoes, 
oats, field corn. There are 24 varieties 
of potatoes offered, and the prices are 
from SI.25 to S1.50 per barrel. 
Monroe Nursery, Monroe, Mich.—An 
illustrated catalogue (80 pages) of fruit 
trees, ornamental trees and shrubs, 
grape vines and small fruits. The Lock- 
wood peach is introduced as being the 
earliest, yellow-fleshed free-stone grown, 
ripening the early part of August. 
Iona Nursery, Iona, N. J.—This cata¬ 
logue deals for the most part with vege¬ 
table plants, such as sweet potatoes, 
tomatoes, asparagus and the like. For 
example, asparagus plants of the best 
varieties are offered, 100 for 50 cents ; 
cabbage plants, 100 for 20 cents ; tomato 
plants, 40 cents per 100. 
E. G. Packard, Dover, Del.—A Busi¬ 
ness Talk with Business Farmers. Mr. 
Packard makes it his business to sell 
seeds which he raises himself direct to 
the farmers at “ prices that leave out 
the middleman.” Cow peas, Canada 
peas, Soja beans, Crimson clover and 
vegetable plants are specialties. 
J. V. Cotta, Nursery, Carroll County, 
Ill.—A catalogue of hardy northern 
fruits, evergreens, shade trees, shrubs, 
etc. The new Milwaukee apple is a 
seedling of the Duchess of Oldenburg, 
and is described as excellent either as a 
cooking or a table fruit. It is at its best 
from December to March. The tree 
bears when very young. The description 
of the Eicke apple should interest all 
who are willing to invest in hardy, 
blight-proof apple trees. 
Arthur J. Collins, Moorestown, N. J. 
—A catalogue of large and small fruits, 
and nut trees. The Triumph peach is 
described as the earliest free-stone peach 
yet introduced. The Sneed peach is said 
to average eight days earlier than Alex¬ 
ander, and to be an almost frost-proof 
variety. Mr. Collins describes the Koonee 
pear as of excellent quality for one so 
early; as a heavy bearer, free from 
blight, frost-proof, and the pears do not 
rot at the core. The New Jersey State 
Entomologist certifies that the nursery 
stock of Mr. Collins is free from San 
Jos6 scale, peach rosette, yellows and 
any other dangerous insect or plant 
disease. 
T. R. Watson, Plymouth, Mass.—A 
neat price-list of hardy ornamental 
trees, shrubs, evergreens, roses, bulbs, 
herbaceous plants, fruits, etc. Mr. Wat¬ 
son’s nurseries are a short distance from 
Boston ; they cover 50 acres, have been 
planted over 50 years, and are among 
the most extensive in New England. Mr. 
Watson is always pleased to show vis¬ 
itors over his grounds. The new Ibota 
Japan privet is offered for $5 a dozen 
plants. This is among the hardiest and, 
certainly, the most floriferous of tne 
privets as grown at the Rural Grounds. 
The California privet, one of the best of 
plants for planting under the eaves of 
houses and in thoroughly dry places, is 
offered for 75 cents a dozen. 
Eagle Seed Company, Binghamton, 
N. Y. —Vegetable seeds, flower seeds, 
fruits, etc. The Lenox sprayer which 
they advertise may be adjusted to the 
backs of either men or boys, and it is 
claimed to be the most economical way 
of using insecticides. 
The Jewell Nursery Company, Lake 
City, Minn. — This catalogue should 
especially interest those who desire to 
plant fruits of known hardiness. It is 
the most northern commercial nursery 
in this country or Canada, which should 
be a sufficient guarantee of the hardiness 
of the stock offered for sale. Over 800 
acres are given to the nurseries. The 
lists of hybrid apples and of Thompson’s 
seedling apples are of special interest. 
So, too, we would call attention to the 
Itasca plum.
