trials. It is shown as a medium-sized 
tuber of perfect form, netted in every 
part. The claims are: “It outyields 
all other varieties nearly two to one. Its 
shape and size are wonderfully uniform; 
it is the handsomest potato grown ; its 
cooking qualities are unequaled ; it is a 
luxuriant grower, free from disease, 
blight, rust, or rot. What more can be 
said ? Note what is said regarding Hen¬ 
derson’s Early Spring cabbage, the Pink 
Plume celery, the Crimson Cushion to¬ 
mato, Henderson’s Succession cabbage, 
Henderson’s Early Snowball cauli¬ 
flower. The ornamental plant special¬ 
ties of this firm are roses, carnations, 
chrysanthemums, cannas, dahlias gera¬ 
niums, palms, hardy herbaceous plants 
of many kinds, shrubs, etc. It also 
offers a select list of strawberries and 
small fruits in general. 
all disease.” This is the old Rogers 
Nursery which has been long established 
at Moorestown, N. J., and should not be 
confounded with the Isaac Rogers Nur¬ 
series recently established in western 
New York. 
E. W. Allen, Wolverton, Wilkin Co., 
Minn.—This catalogue, chiefly of a very 
select number of potatoes, pleases us be¬ 
cause of its illustrations, which are all 
photographic and show the characteristic 
shape. The potatoes offered are just 
these : Acme, American Wonder, Free¬ 
man, World’s Fair, Early Vaughan, New 
Queen, Early Harvest, Irish Daisy, Early 
Norther, Irish Cobbler, Polaris, Carman 
No. 1, Carman No. 3 and Early Ohio ; 
and each one is illustrated. Car lots of 
Early Ohio are offered, and the stock is 
guaranteed to be true. We are assured 
that every bushel of seed potatoes sold 
by Mr. Allen is grown on his own farm. 
He believes that the Acme is the earliest 
variety we have, and possesses more 
points of excellence than any other kind, 
new or old. 
gulmtisiino. 
Harry N. Hammond, Decatur, Van 
Buren County, Mich.—Seed potatoes, 
seed corn and seed oats. A valuable part 
of this catalogue is the result of a trial 
of 100 different kinds of potatoes made 
last year on “ rich, new muck land that 
had never been cropped before, well 
drained, and withstanding drought.” 
Here are the largest yields : Carman No. 
3, 565 bushels ; Carman No. 1, 494 ; Early 
Fortune, 450 ; Early Michigan, 437 ; Liv¬ 
ingston’s Banner, 395 ; New Queen, 356 ; 
World’s Fair, 321 ; American Wonder, 
225; Lightning Express, 210. Other kinds 
yielded as follows : White Elephant, 
138 ; Sir William, 102 ; Peerless, 92; Pearl 
of Savoy, 143 ; Irish Daisy, 193 ; Burpee’s 
Extra Early, 165 ; Burbank, 95 ; Early 
Six Weeks, 193 ; Early Rose, 87 ; Early 
Ohio, 94 ; Early Puritan, 94 ; Everett’s 
Six Weeks, 97 ; Freeman, 154 ; Great Di¬ 
vide, 185, and Sunrise, 103. The smallest 
yields were from 68 (Blue Victor) to 75 
(Acme) bushels per acre. The best of 
these varieties are put up in trial lots 
(“ two good tubers of each ”) for 75 
cents a box. There are five different 
kinds in each box. We call special at¬ 
tention to what is claimed for the Early 
Fortune. 
Henry A. Drker, 714 Chestnut Street, 
Philadelphia, Pa.—Dreer’s Garden Cal¬ 
endar, being a catalogue (160 pages) of 
seeds and plants of all kinds, inferior to 
none and equaled by few. The front 
page is an exquisite presentation in 
colors of carnations ; the last Nymphaeas, 
white, crimson and blue. These water 
lilies, by the way, are of the easiest cul¬ 
tivation and may well rank as garden 
plants with the choicest orchids as 
greenhouse exotics. Some idea of the 
dimensions of this establishment may be 
gained when it is considered that an 
addition of one acre of glass houses has 
been made to the plant given up just to 
palms alone. Seventy-five pages of the 
catalogue comprise the lists of vege¬ 
table, farm and flower seeds ; the rest 
(85 pages) to plants of all kinds, includ¬ 
ing hardy shrubs and small fruits. The 
lists of cannas, roses, hardy water lilies 
and other aquatics, ferns, carnations, 
begonias are especially comprehensive 
and up to date. Sixteen pages are de¬ 
voted to novelties and specialties among 
plants, seeds and vegetables. It is an 
exceedingly interesting catalogue.

The Rogers Nursery Co., Moores¬ 
town, N. J. —A catalogue of apple, pear, 
peach, plum, apricot, cherry, and quince 
trees ; also small fruits. A specialty is 
made of nut trees and the Japan plums. 
Among the latter, Willard is regarded as 
the earliest of the Japan plums, and 
Paragon the best, largest and latest. It 
is said to be entirely distinct from any 
other. The trees bear young and so 
bountifully as to require thinning. The 
flesh is fine grained, firm, and delicious. 
The color is yellow, nearly covered with 
light red, purple on the sunny side. An 
engraving shows a three-year-old Para¬ 
gon chestnut tree in full bearing. This 
company is the introducer of the new 
Angel pear, regarded as the largest 
and handsomest of the earliest pears.
