THE RURAL NEW-YORKER.

-Autuummnmmtmmmutt: 
ttmtnnnmtnnmmmnttmv 
W. A. Watson & Co., Normal, Ill.—A 
wholesale price-list of large and small 
fruits, ornamental trees and shrubs, 
roses, etc. The prices are very low, 
indeed. 
Abner Wilson, Tecumseh, Mich.—A 
list of “ choice seed potatoes ” in special 
storage, free from sprouts, strong and 
perfect. Mr. Wilson keeps his pota¬ 
toes in a cellar built for the purpose, 
in which the temperature is so con¬ 
trolled that they do not begin to sprout 
until May. For an additional charge 
of 25 cents a barrel, potatoes will be 
kept in cold storage until July 1. 
I. & J. L. Leonard, Iona, N. J.—A 
descriptive list of fruits, asparagus roots, 
sweet potato plants, tomato plants, cel¬ 
ery plants, etc. The prices should be 
noted: Asparagus plants, two years 
old, $1 per 100 ; sweet potato plants, 
prepaid, 40 cents per 100 ; celery plants, 
50 cents for 100. The firm makes a 
specialty of the Strawberry-raspberry, 
Golden Mayberry, and Lincoln plum. 
C. E. Kelley, Newark, N. Y.—A cir¬ 
cular of choice western New York seed 
potatoes. . Twenty-four of the most 
popular or promising varieties of pota¬ 
toes are offered for from $1 to $2 per 
barrel. It may be years before our 
friends will have the opportunity of try¬ 
ing the kinds best suited to their soil 
for so low a price. It matters a good deal 
whether we raise 100 or 300 bushels to 
the acre with the same care and cost. 
George A. Bonnell, Waterloo, N.Y.— 
A circular of seed potatoes. Several 
new kinds are announced, Bonnell’s 
Columbian, Bonnell’s Acme, Bonnell’s 
General Purpose, Rutland Rose, Bon¬ 
nell’s Ex. Early, Ideal among them. 
Other kinds now popularly advertised are 
Early Norther, American Beauty, Great 
Divide, Burpee’s Ex. Early, Chapman’s 
Orphan, Banner, Vick’s Abundance, 
Dutton Seedling and Irish Daisy. Col¬ 
lections offered at low prices. 
Tiie William II. Moon Co., Morris- 
ville, Pa.—There is much taste shown 
in the get-up of this catalogue of fruit 
and ornamental trees, shrubs, vines, 
small fruits, etc., and valuable informa¬ 
tion as to planting. Keiffer pears are 
offered at $3 per dozen ; Paragon chest¬ 
nuts, $1 each; apple trees, 20 cents each; 
pears, $4 per dozen; Japan plums, 35 cents 
each ; peaches, $2 per dozen ; currants, 
SI per dozen ; raspberries, $2 per dozen. 
The lists of both evergreen and decidu¬ 
ous trees are full and well selected. 
Dendrolene. —Insect lime, or Raupen- 
leim, has been used in Germany for a 
number of years to catch certain insects 
which injure the trees. It has also been 
useful in preventing rabbits from eating 
the bark. This insect lime, or glue, has 
been somewhat extensively used in 
Massachusetts by the Gypsy Moth Com¬ 
mission with some success. There are, 
however, two objections to this sub¬ 
stance, first its cost, and second, losing 
its stickiness. Prof. F. L. Nason of the 
New Jersey Station, succeeded in obtain¬ 
ing a substance which, though by no 
means the same as the German insect 
lime, is produced at a lower cost and re¬ 
tains its viscidity or stickiness for a much 
longer time. This he calls Dendrolene, 
derived, we presume, from Dendron the 
Greek for tree. It is a product that has 
for its base crude petroleum, which, as 
we are told by the New Jersey Station, 
is sufficiently viscid at ordinary tem¬ 
peratures not to flow at any angle, and 
never becoming soft enough to run much
