Iowa Sked Co., Des Moines, Iowa. 
Thirty-first annual seed catalogue. A 
large pamphlet of 100 pages, with col¬ 
ored cover representing a collection of 
Clematises and various flower and vege¬ 
table seed novelties. Two colored plates 
of special collections are inserted. 
Among the novelties are the Early Ex¬ 
press cucumber. Giant Gray Sugar peas, 
the pods of which may be cooked and 
eaten like asparagus; Chinese Sago bean 
and Hester squash. The list in seeds, 
plants and garden requisites is very full 
and complete. 
Geokqk W. P. Jerrard Co., Caribou, 
Me. Catalogue of northern-grown pota¬ 
toes and seeds; 34 pages. This always 
interesting announcement does not in¬ 
troduce any new varieties this season, 
but the successful ones of previous 
years are given due prominence. The 
Northern Beauty, new last year, has 
fully met expectations, and is now of¬ 
fered as the best of the Rose type, and 
the Gem of Aroostook, now three years 
on the market, is considered the best all- 
around potato introduced by this firm. 
M. Crawford Co., Cuyahoga Falls, 0. 
Catalogue of strawberry plants and Gla¬ 
diolus bulbs; 22 pages. The Miller is 
given first place as the most promising 
novelty among strawberries. It is large, 
bright red, good quality and very pro¬ 
ductive. The plant is particularly vig¬ 
orous. August Luther, a new western 
kind, gave the earliest fruit last year, a 
ripe berry being picked June 4, and June 
7 it was in full crop. Senator Dunlap, 
introduced last year, is again highly re¬ 
commended for general cropping. 
Griffith & Turner Co., Baltimore, 
Md. Farm and garden supplies. A large 
catalogue of 128 pages, colored cover and 
many illustrations; 49 pages are given 
to seeds and plants, and the remainder 
to a most complete and excellent selec¬ 
tion of farm and garden implements. No 
untried novelties are offered, but a spe¬ 
cialty is made of the varieties of vege¬ 
tables that succeed best in that paradise 
of truck farms, the tidewater regions of 
Maryland and Virginia. 
.1. L. Childs, Floral Park, N. Y. Cata¬ 
logue of seeds, ornamental and fruit 
plants; 152 pages; colored cover and

over eighi, I'cct high, which bore, accord¬ 
ing to the figures given by the origin¬ 
ator, over 80 pounds of ripe fruits. Un¬ 
der ordinary cultivation the yield is 
enormous, the tomatoes perfect and 
beautiful, and of superior quality. 
Child’s hybrids of Primula obconica are 
given much prominence, and are in real¬ 
ity most beautiful and effective decora¬ 
tive plants. An immense variety of ar¬ 
ticles is offered, some of which cannot 
be procured elsewhere. The Cherokee 
I'ose, Rosa laevigata, is color-plated and 
offered as a desirable, hardy trailing va¬ 
riety. It is a native of China, and is 
much used for hedges in the Bahama 
Islands and in some parts of the South¬ 
ern States. Our experience with this 
beautiful evergreen wild rose leads us 
to believe that it is hardier than has 
been suspected, but it is not likely to 
endure the rigor of our northern Win¬ 
ters unless well protected. 
R. M. Kellogg, Three Rivers, Mich. 
Twentieth Century Horticulture; 36 
pages. As the title indicates, this is 
much more than a catalogue of small 
fruits. It is a treatise on modern and 
progressive fruit culture in the light of 
Mr. Kellogg’s extended and successful 
experience. It is elaborately illustrated 
with photographic reproductions. Much 
stress is laid upon the improvement of 
varieties by propagating only from se¬ 
lected specimens. The whole story of 
small-fruit growing is told in clear and 
forcible language. All the new and 
standard varieties of small fruits may 
be found listed here with a wealth of 
reliable information concerning them. 
Henry A. Dreer, Philadelphia, Pa. 
Dreer’s Garden Calendar; 200 pages. 
Handsome cover, showing group of 
Queen Charlotte Anemone and Cen- 
taurea imperialis. The novelties of the 
season are the new Mammoth Stringless 
Green Pod bean, offered as the largest, 
earliest and most prolific bean of its 
class; Dreer’s Monarch celery and Per¬ 
fect Forcing carrot. The best introduc¬ 
tions of previous years are given much 
prominence. Many foreign novelties in 
seeds and fioweriug planls are listed, 
among which is an offer of seeds of 
Buddleia variabilis, a charming new 
profuse-blooming shrub from China. It 
is claimed that flowering plants can be 
grown in four months from seeds. The 
new giant Montbretia, Germania, Is said 
to produce blooms over three inches 
across, of rich glowing scarlet and 
orange shades. Montbretias are grown 
just like Gladioli, and are very brilliant 
when well done. The new Giant Hardy 
primrose is strongly recommended as a 
most beautiful and useful new plant for 
the hardy perennial border, as well as 
for Winter blooming under glass. The 
beautiful hardy striped Yucca, Y. flla- 
mentosa bicolor, is offered at a very rea¬ 
sonable price. The section devoted to 
aquatic plants is more extended than in 
previous issues and is beautifully illus¬ 
trated with half-tone engravings. Taken 
altogether this is a catalogue one likes 
to keep close at hand for reference. Fig. 
68 shows the new Surprise pea. 
Lewis Roesch, Fredonia, N. Y. Cata¬ 
logue of grapevines and nursery stock; 
32 pages. The Early Daisy and Lucille 
are commended as most valuable new 
market grapes. Early Daisy ripens a 
week ahead of any other variety, and 
ripens its crop within a few days. It is 
a black, of better quality than other ex¬ 
tra early varieties, and an extra good 
shipper. Lucille is a late red grape, vig¬ 
orous and very productive, as well as ex¬ 
tremely hardy. Its special recommenda¬ 
tion is its superior shipping quality. A 
very full list of standard grapes, fruit 
trees and plants and ornamental nur¬ 
sery stock completes the catalogue. 
.1. H. Hale, South Glastonbury, Conn. 
Hale’s fruits for 1901; 16 pages. This 
little catalogue is crowded full of inter¬ 
esting information. All the latest nov¬ 
elties in peaches, plums and small fruits 
are offered. Excellent portraits of Bur¬ 
bank’s new plums and the newest chest¬ 
nuts are given. Hieley is a new peach 
of the North China type, claimed to be 
as large as Stump the World and as 
beautiful as Oldmixon. It is of fine 
quality and a good shipper. Ripens in 
the North early August. Waddell is a 
hardy white peach with a bright red 
cheek, good in every way. Mr. Halo 
thinks it will prove a sure annual 
bearer.

HALLOCK’S 
POTATO HARVESTER. 
JFOTATO (iROWEKS, this is the digger you have so long 
looked for, hoped for, longed for. The price is right, the draft 
is right (one team), easy to handle, strong and simple, every 
potato taken from its bed by the shovel, and every potato sep¬ 
arated from the soil by the wonderful fork ; dig every row 
straight as you go. In a word, it is hand work done with two 
horses 
OUK GUAKANTEK. We guarantee the O. K. Digger 
to equal hand work. In other words, you dig a certain number 
of rows by hand, then dig an equal number with the O. K. 
Digger, pick up all potatoes in sight, then harrow, cultivate 
and plow, either or all; if “ O. K.” does not come out ahead, 
you are at liberty to reject it. We know just what it will do 
because we have followed it in a dozen fields in different parts of 
the country. 
WHAT WE WANT. Correspondence with 60,000 potato 
growers before the winter is over, so we can tell them all about 
the digger and the wonrterftil otter we make lor 4|uick 
orders aud introduction. 
We know we have the digger you want. We know 
every potato grower who does not buy one will want his potatoes 
dug with one. This would mean profitable work for you if you 
had time for it, or could spare the digger.
