CATALOGUES, ETC., RECEIVED. 
R UMSEY & COMPANY, SENECA 
FALLS, N. Y.—Catalogue of spray¬ 
ing pumps and spraying nozzles. 
Syracuse Plows and Cultivating Im¬ 
plements. —Catalogue from the Syracuse 
Chilled Plow Company, Syracuse, N. Y. 
This company having added to its already 
large and well-equipped plant several ma¬ 
chines of the latest design, is now in a better 
position than ever before to serve the large 
and increasing number of its patrons. It 
manufactures the greatest variety of chilled 
iron and steel, hand and sulky plows, with 
steel, iron or wood beams, in styles and 
sizes to suit the trade. These plow's do the 
most satisfactory work in soils of varying 
character and conditions, on level land or 
on hillsides. The company also makes a 
steel-frame cultivator, fitted up in different 
ways, for a large variety of work. It is 
also placing on the market this season a 
new spring-tooth harrow, which, it is be¬ 
lieved, will win for itself the celebrity 
which the other implements of the compa¬ 
ny’s manufacture now so justly hold. The 
farming community and the trade will 
serve their best interests by corresponding 
with this company, should they desire to 
use or handle anything in its line. It 
will be remembered that the R. N.-Y. used 
a plow made by this company on its trial 
acre of potatoes. 
The Most Perfect Furrower.— Cir¬ 
culars from Thomas Peppier, Hightstown, 
New Jersey. This implement is simple, 
strong and, what is exceedingly desirable 
in these times, cheap. It is a good imple¬ 
ment. Mr. Peppier also makes the Riggs 
corn plow about which a good deal has 
been said in these columns. Send for the 
circular. 
Spring-tooth Harrows and Cultiva¬ 
tors.— Circulars from Hench and Drom- 
gold, York, Pa. The Hench harrow is to be 
found on hundreds of farms in this country. 
Its merits are well known. The cultiva¬ 
tor is known as “ King of the Corn Field ” 
and is in all respects an excellent imple¬ 
ment. Remember the address. 
George W. P. Jerrard, Caribou, 
Maine. —This catalogue will be prized by 
those who prefer to buy Northern seed po 
tatoes. Mr. Jerrard’s “ Harbinger,” he 
says, will be the great market potato of 
the future, and will outyield any other late 
variety. The Minister, New Queen and 
Dandy are certainly promising as judged 
by trials at the Rural Grounds. The cata¬ 
logue offers other valuable kinds of pota¬ 
toes as well as certain farm and garden 
seeds that have been well tested in Maine. 
Rural New-Yorker No. 2 Potatoes.— 
Catalogue from William 13. Whitney, 
Leominster, Mass. Mr. Whitney makes a 
specialty of this potato. His stock is pure 
and was grown in Northern Maine. 
Grasses and Forage Plants of the 
United States.— This is a special bulletin 
of the Department of Agriculture prepared 
by Dr. George Vasey, with an appendix on 
the chemical composition of grasses. It is 
a revised and enlarged edition of a former 
publication. Farmers and botanists will 
find this of considerable value as a book 
for reference. 
Robert Scott & Son, Philadelphia, 
Pa.—T his is an illustrated catalogue of 
roses, plants in general and flower seeds. 
The firm proposes to celebrate the fortieth 
anniversary of its existence by distributing 
among its patrons extra plants, which are 
said to amount to #8,000, as estimated at 
their selling value. The prices at which 
certain collections of roses are offered in 
this catalogue are surprisingly low. Twelve 
popular varieties of seeds are offered for 80 
cents. Twelve roses (old kinds) are offered 
by mail, prepaid, for $1, and “eight of the 
best new roses” are offered for$l. These 
collections are presented in such variety 
that the catalogue must be consulted for 
further particulars. 
D. Landreth & Sons, Philadelphia, 
Pa.—I n dealing with this firm readers of 
the R. N.-Y. may feel the utmost confi¬ 
dence. It is one of the oldest and most ex¬ 
tensive seed firms in the world and was 
established in 1784. The present catalogue 
is one of 48 pages, offering the best known 
varieties of seeds. 
Ellwangeh &, Barry, Rochester, N. 
Y.—A catalogue of roses and of roses only. 
Directions for planting and treating roses 
nre given and the several classes of roses 
are described. There is no foolishness 
whatever about this plain catalogue. The 
brief descriptions of the roses offered may 
•be relied upon as absolutely trustworthy. 
Johnson & Stokes, No. 217 and 219 Mar¬ 
ket Street, Philadelphia, Pa.— This is 
a handsome illustrated catalogue which 
shows a deal of enterprise on the part of 
the firm issuing it. It offers seeds of all 
kinds, many farm and garden implements 
and live stock. There are some 20 pages 
given to specialties and novelties, among 
which may be noted the Dixie Watermelon, 
Everbearing Wax Bean, Evergreen Lima 
Bean, which is said to be double the size of 
any other Lima, Guarantee Sweet Corn, 
Dilks’s Many-Hearted Celery, Atlantic 
Prize and Brandywine or No. 45 Tomato, 
Mitchell’s Perfected Early Dark Red Tur¬ 
nip Beet, Burlington Sweet Corn, which is 
said to be nearly as early as the Adams, 
with an ear fully as large as Stowell’s 
Evergreen, etc., etc. An engraving shows 
a very unique lady’s bonnet made from the 
dish-rag gourd. The Baltic is a novelty 
among oats and it is claimed that it is 
distinct from all other varieties in being 
neither a side oat nor a spreading-panicle 
oat. 
Wm. Henry Maule, 1,711 Filbert 
Street, Puiladelpia, Pa.— This is a seeds 
catalogue of superlatives. The number of 
engravings is greater than that of any 
other catalogue we have ever seen. A 
large amount is offered in premiums for 
superior specimens of certain crops raised 
from Maule’s seeds. 
The Stores & Harrison Co., Paines- 
VILLE, O.—This is a large catalogue of the 
first merit. There are 170 pages, with 
many illustrations which are quite true to 
nature. Everything is offered in it that 
any one living in the country or owning a 
city lot may need for sowing or planting— 
large fruits and small fruits; evergreen 
and deciduous trees and shrubs; flower 
plants and flower and vegetable seeds of 
all kinds. It is a valuable book of refer¬ 
ence. 
James Vick, Rochester, N. Y.— This is 
one of the most elegant and tasty cata¬ 
logues published. One thousand dollars 
are off ere I in prizes for the best several 
specimens of cabbages, potatoes, tomatoes, 
onions mangels, etc., grown from Vick’s 
seeds. The exhibits will be made at the 
Illinois State Fair. Directions for shipping, 
with date of fair, etc., will be mailed to 
each competitor. This excellent catalogue 
should be examined by every one of our 
readers who buys plants or seeds of any 
kind. 
Northrup, Braslan & Goodwin Co., 
Minneapolis, Minn. —A large-sized and 
much-illustrated catalogue of farm, gar¬ 
den and vegetable seeds of all kinds. A 
novelty in this catalogue is the offer of 
160 potato eyes (40 eyes each of four leading 
varieties) delivered free to any address in 
the United States upon the receipt of #1.00. 
Bloomington Nursery, Bloomington, 
Illinois.—A catalogue of apple, pear,
