(Pardoners are busy everywhere study¬ 
ing over the 191S edition of seedsmen’s 
catalogues, in an effort to frame the 
season’s order for seeds. When it comes 
to the choice of suitable varieties of the 
various sorts of vegetables, it is con¬ 
fusing to the best of us to select some¬ 
thing that meets the requirements of the 
home garden, for under each A'egetable 
there may be as many as two dozen or 
more variety names. Of course many of 
these are merely old. familiar varieties, 
renamed, while others are worthless, and 
still others are especially adapted to 
commercial culture only. There is not 
very much in a name when one comes 
to seed catalogues, and still less depend¬ 
ence can be placed on the nice flattering 
descriptions and pretty pictures. One 
should have clearly in mind the qualities 
which a suitable variety should have for 
the home garden, and perhaps by select¬ 
ing carefully from the seedsman's juiz- 
gardener, who wants to extend the nat¬ 
ural season of the fresh vegetables by 
keeping in storage for Winter use. 
While it is totally impossible to name a 
list of varieties that would fit in with 
all locations and types of soil, as well as 
with the individual gardener’s ideas of 
what is desirable, it is possible, from ex¬ 
perience and observation, to suggest a 
number of varieties which seem espe¬ 
cially well adapted to growing in the 
homo garden. Such a list may be of con¬ 
siderable assistance to the new recruits 
in the gardening game. To assist such 
gardeners the following list of varieties 
is suggested for use in the home garden: 
Khubarb, Victoria; parsley. Dwarf Per¬ 
fection ; onions. Yellow Globe sets for 
green onions and Summer use, Southport 
Yellow or Ited Gloibe seed, for late cro]i 
of dry onions for Winter storage; spinach. 
Pdoom.sdale Savoy; mustard, Plack

A fruit grower wrote to a promi¬ 
nent Dansville man inquiring 
about us, this is what he answered: 
Maloney Bros. & Wells Co. have built up the 
largest nurseries in New York State by protecting 
their customers with a guarantee of absolute satis¬ 
faction, by throwing in for good measure accuracy 
in recording and filing orders, extra care in pack¬ 
ing, expert advice and information on varieties (when 
requested), and by quoting a wholesale price for A-1 
quality stock which gives them enough profit to do business 
on a business basis. T^ey have been in business 34 years, and are rated $35,000.00 
first grade credit in Bradstreets.’’ 
HERE IS OUR STATEMENT TO YOU 
We know thar the best trees skill and money can produce are none too good for 
the FRUIT GROWERS. That’s why for over 34 years 
Maloney Fruit Trees 
VINES, SHRUBS, BERRIES AND ORNAMENTS 
have been constantly improving in quality until they are recoRnized as the standard wherever 
nursery stock is planted. That’s why we receive letters like this from our customers:— 
C’oponliaeen Market Succession (lharloston Wakefield

zling array of variety names and de¬ 
scriptions, together with several season.s’ 
experience in the garden, a list of varie¬ 
ties will be obtained which not only make 
good in the particular locality . where 
grown, but also fill the g.-irdener’s ideas 
as to (juality, etc. Many of our neAV 
coiqt.s of war gardouens perhaps do not 
know that varieties of the same vegeta¬ 
ble differ es.sentially excejtt in name, and 
this idea nifiy come near tbe truth where 
seedsmen have multiplied the list of 
varietal names for trade purposes only. 
Yet in all of our commonly cultivated 
vegetables, there are very distinct types, 
which have gradually been developed 
through long years of selection to meet 
differtuit reiiuirements as to soil, season, 
l)rodu<-ti\eness and many other factors.
