Catalogues of the Season 
reviews oe leading novelties. 
Frederick H. Horsfokd, Charlotte, 
Vt Catalogue of Horsford’s nurseries; 
56 pages, beautifully illustrated. This 
tasteful catalogue contains the most 
complete list of valuable hardy plants 
that has come to our notice. The col¬ 
lection of herbaceous plants and ferns, 
both native and exotic, is very full. A 
choice selection of ornamental shrubs 
and trees is also offered. 
Geo. S. Josselyn, Fredonia, N. Y. 
Catalogue of small fruits. The usual 
well-written descriptive catalogue and 
price list. The collections of the various 
fruits offered are well chosen, and it is 
safe to say that every variety offered 
has real merit. The great specialties are 
Fay’s currant, Josselyn gooseberry, 
formerly Red Jacket, and Campbell’s 
Early grape. 
Johnson & Stokes, Philadelphia, Pa. 
Garden and Farm Annual, 94 pages, col¬ 
ored cover, representing Earlyana to¬ 
mato and Early Cyclone cucumber. This 
beautiful catalogue is completely illus¬ 
trated by process cuts direct from na¬ 
ture. This absence of exaggeration is 
most refreshing in comparison with 
some of the wondrous distortions that 
come to us from other sources. Special¬ 
ties are made of the Foremost German 
cabbage, a new medium-early, large- 
heading variety. Summer-head lettuce. 
situations and dooryard planting, but 
time alone will confirm or reject our es¬ 
timate. Special attention is called to 
Alba Rubifolia and Pearl Queen, two 
splendid companions to the Ruby Queen, 
now being grown by so many R. N.-Y. 
readers. Lovers of beautiful fiowers 
should send for this catalogue. 
R. H. Shumway, Rockford, Ill. Illus¬ 
trated Garden Guide. This huge cata¬ 
logue is truly illustrated—in the sense 
that a circus poster is an illustration. 
The overdrawn cuts occupy much more 
space than the descriptive matter. No 
claims of novelty are made, but an ex¬ 
tensive list of farm, garden and fiower 
seeds is offered, as well as some garden 
conveniences. 
Green’s Nursery Co., Rochester, N. 
Y. Catalogue of nursery stock and fruit 
plants; 40 pages, colored cover, repre¬ 
senting new plums, peaches and apples. 
The usual well-illustrated descriptive 
list of standard and new fruits. Prom¬ 
inence is given to the York State prune 
heretofore known as Fellenberg, 
Italian prune, etc., but now claimed to 
be a distinct variety, and the most pro¬ 
fitable plum grown, and the Niagara 
peach, said to be a seedling of Early 
Crawford, but much larger, equally as 
productive and several days later. Has 
proved very profitable to the originator.

THE FARMER’S DREAM OF CATALOGUES. 
Sweet Home and Bonny Best water¬ 
melon. The latter has ripened in 62 days 
from seed near Philadelphia. The good 
qualities of the Earlyana tomato are also 
strongly emphasized. This catalogue is 
especially strong in forage plants, and 
many beautiful reproductions by photo¬ 
graphs of their possibilities are given. 
Fig. 67 shows the Sand or Winter Vetch, 
and Fig. 71 the Norfolk Button musk- 
melon. 
Flansburoh & Peirson, Leslie, Mich. 
Catalogue of strawberry plants and seed 
potatoes; 20 pages. A carefully-written 
and reliable catalogue, offering a large 
selection of varieties of these two spe¬ 
cialties. Rough Rider, Pocomoke and 
Pennell are praised among strawberries 
for their behavior during trials last 
year, the latter particularly for its fine 
fiavor. The King of Michigan is offered 
as an advance on the early main-crop 
potatoes now in general cultivation. Our 
trials have shown it to be large, smooth, 
productive and of good quality. 
The Conard & Jones Co., West Grove, 
Pa. Floral Guide for 1901, 134 pages; 
colored cover showing New Century 
rose and new pedigree Gannas. A very 
complete catalogue of all the roses worth 
growing in America, decorative and 
fiowering plants and fiower seeds. Many 
new and splendid Gannas are offered, 
prominent among which is Pennsyl¬ 
vania, the first scarlet hybrid of Ganna 
fiaccida. Pennsylvania was originated 
in 1899 by J. A. Kemp, now assistant 
on the Rural Grounds, and is in many 
respects the finest Ganna we have grown. 
The New Century rose also is a product 
of the extensive experiments in progress 
on the Rural Grounds, and is the result 
of hybridizing the lovely Everblooming 
rose, Clothilde Soupert, and the white- 
flowered Rosa rugosa. Our trials would 
indicate this hardy and beautiful new 
rose to be of great value for exposed 
Fig. 70. 
James Vick’s Sons, Rochester, N. Y. 
Garden and Floral Guide; 134 pages; 
colored cover and two colored plates. This 
fine catalogue is beautifully illustrated, 
most of the newer cuts being reproduced 
direct from nature. An extensive list of 
novelties in plants and seeds is offered, 
some of which have been found deserv¬ 
ing as a result of previous trials. The 
Twentieth Century cabbage is said to be 
the earliest of all cabbages. The Lemon 
cucumber is nearly round, and of su¬ 
perior flavor, being at its best just as 
the fruits turn yellow. The Irondequoit 
muskmelon bears out its promise of the 
previous year as being of the highest 
possible quality, as well as vigorous and 
productive. The Rochester beet is 
thought to have reached perfection in 
earliness, shape and quality.
