THE RURAL NEW-YORKER. 
169 
Catalogues for 1901. 
[CONTINUED.] 
Stabk Bros., Louisiana, Mo. Advance 
sheets of nursery catalogue and colored 
plates of Burbank hybrid plums and 
Chicago apple. America, Climax, Gold, 
Shiro and Sultan are given as Burbank’s 
greatest creations. The Chicago apple 
is shown as a large, deep-red fruit, in 
season during January and February. 
Joseph H. Black, Son & Co., Hights- 
town, N. J. Catalogue .of Village Nur¬ 
series; 48 pages. Devoted to fruit and 
ornamental trees and plants. A care¬ 
fully-selected list of reliable varieties, as 
well as late introductions. The special¬ 
ties of this enterprising firm are their 
new pedigree strawberries and the Mer¬ 
cer cherry, which is now becoming very 
favorably known. A full set of these re¬ 
markable strawberries is now on trial 
on the Rural Grounds. The latest Bur¬ 
bank plums are offered at very reason¬ 
able prices. Fig. 73 snows the Jos 
strawberry. 
Noktttrup, King & Go., Minneapolis, 
Minn. Catalogue of “Seeds to Tie To”; 
84 pages. A most extensive list of seeds 
for all purposes, with particular atten¬ 
tion given to farm and economical seeds. 
The Peep of Day sweet corn is earlier 
than any other by the wide margin of 
10 days. Said to be productive, and of 
high quality. The Extra Early Triumph 
potato shows the same precocity of de¬ 
velopment, and is claimed as absolute¬ 
ly the earliest variety, and is also the 
tree strong and symmetrical in growth. 
The Comet currant and Keepsake 
gooseberry, each probably the best Eng¬ 
lish variety of their respective kinds, are 
given prominence. The Comet currant 
was figured in The R. N.-Y. in 1896, but 
we think has not before been offered by 
an American nursery. 
The Kerowater. —The term “me¬ 
chanical mixture” is now used in articles 
on spraying. As all know, oil and water 
do not mix naturally, for the oil will 
rise to the top. Under pressure, how¬ 
ever, the water and oil make a uniform 
mixture which is called “mechanical.” 
When this is sprayed, the water evapo¬ 
rates and leaves the oil evenly distrib¬ 
uted. The Goulds Mfg. Co., Seneca Falls, 
N. Y., have taken advantage of this fact 
in making the famous kerowater spray¬ 
er. This operates with two pistons, and 
forces uniform amounts of the oil into 
the water. It is a very fine machine, of 
great service now that kerosene and pe¬ 
troleum are being so largely used. The 
Goulds people also make all sorts of 
pumps for lifting or forcing. 
Nurse and Policeman. —The Bowker 
Chemical Co., Boston, Mass., issues a 
neat pamphlet which is truly a “Hand¬ 
book of Injurious Insects and Plant 
Diseases.” The common plant diseases 
and insects are briefiy described, and 
many are pictured. There are also many 
fine full-page pictures of fruits and farm 
scenes. The Bowker Company sells a 
complete lot of poisons and chemicals 
which may be called policemen and 
THE JOE STIIAWBERRY. Fig. 73. 
heaviest yielder and best cooker of all 
the extra-early varieties. Said to have 
been raised from seeds of Bermuda- 
grown potatoes. Claims are made for 
the general superiority of northern- 
grown seeds. The accompanying little 
booklet on “Seed Truth” is an excellent 
expos6 of the methods of sensational 
seedsmen, and is spicy reading. 
H. S. Wiley, Cayuga, N. Y.; catalogue 
of Cayuga Nurseries. Fruit trees and 
general nursery stock; 28 pages. A fine 
and useful selection of fruit trees and 
plants. The Dikeman and Baldwin cher¬ 
ries are prominent novelties offered as 
specially hardy, vigorous and fruitful. 
The Dikeman is a very large, late black 
cherry, while the Baldwin, now becom¬ 
ing known, is of the large-fruited early 
Morello type. The new hardy peach, 
Clifton Park, is exclusively offered in 
this catalogue. The points of superiority 
claimed for it are extreme hardiness, 
fine fiavor and handsome appearance. It 
has borne three full crops in five years 
in Saratoga Co., N. Y. The Hudson 
peach, a large yellow late variety of 
great promise is prominently offered. 
We notice some fine cuts of Burbank’s 
new plums. The Baldwin cherry is 
shown at Fig. 74. 
The Storks & H^vrrison Co., Paines- 
ville, O. Spring catalogue for 1901; 168 
pages; colored cover, showing pansies 
and sweet peas. A very extensive list of 
seeds, plants and general nursery stock 
is offered. Some of the departments are 
remarkably full, and it must be a very 
exacting customer who fails to find what 
he wants within the pages of this com¬ 
prehensive catalogue. The Admiral 
Dewey peach. Fig. 74, is offered as super¬ 
ior in many respects to the Triumph. It 
ripens at the same time, is a perfect 
freestone, the flesh is yellow, and of 
uniform texture and color to the pit. 
'The form and color is better, and the 
The Lincoln Pear 
I “The best pear we ever tasted’’ is what every 
I one says about the Lincoln. Annual bearer, very

nurses of the farm and orchard. We 
have tried these goods on our own farm, 
and know that they are effective. The 
Bowker people have been at work for 
several years testing and experimenting 
until now they have trained their plant 
nurses and policemen so that they may 
be guaranteed. Bug and bacteria hate 
them. They will arrest or cure if you 
give them a chance. Send to headquar¬ 
ters for information. We have always 
believed that there would be a good de- 
mana for ready-mixed poisons and plant 
medicines. 
Slug Shot is an insecticide that holds 
its own. Years come and go, yet Slug 
Shot keeps on slugging the bugs where- 
ever it can get them in the ring. Age 
may not add to the reputation of butter 
and cheese, but it is a priceless boon to 
an insecticide, for a farmer would no 
more buy a bogus insecticide the second 
time than a hunter would use a powder 
which he knows will not explode. Benj. 
Hammond, Fishkill, N. Y., is the Slug 
Shot man. 
The Leggett dry-powder gun is still 
the standard bug duster. This gun blows 
out the dry insecticide with a powerful 
blast through tubes which can be aimed 
at plant or tree. The dust gets there— 
so does the gun. Leggett Bros., Pearl 
Street, New York, make this gun and 
also small sprayers which are operated 
by compressed air or popgun principle. 
They also sell insecticides, dry Bordeaux 
Mixture, and other plant necessities. 
The Deming Company, Salem, O., 
manufactures a complete line of spray 
pumps and spraying materials. The bug 
and the plant-disease germ know that 
though the man behind the pump may 
be alive and active, it is the pump and 
nozzle that are to be feared. The cheap 
pump will not do the work. The cata¬ 
logue of the Deming Co. will show what 
they offer.
