L. W. Goodell, Amherst, Mass.—Illustrated Cata¬ 
logue of Vegetable and Flower Seeds, Bulbs and 
Plants. Mr. Goodell makes a specialty of Pansies and 
Petunias. The colored plate of Diamond Pansies, is 
worth more than the price of the catalogue (5 cents). 
William Rennie’s Seed Catalogue for 1884.—Our 
Canadian friends are not behind the times in getting up 
attractive lists of what they have to offer in the line of 
vegetable and flower seeds and plants. This list is very

a choice selection of the useful or ornamental. Address 
Wm. Rennie, Toronto. Ont.

nual Illustrated Catalogue of Roses, Greenhouse and 
Bedding Plants, Fruit and Ornamental Trees, Grape¬ 
vines, Flower and Vegetable Seeds. No one need be 
without fruit of all kinds, vegetables or flowers, when 
collections from 10c upwards, can be had, sent free by 
mail, as this old established house is doing. When a 
farmer can get eight fruit trees for a dollar, he is doing 
a great injustice to his family and his country if he 
neglects the opportunity. Send for this catalogue. 
Nanz & Neuner. Louisville, Ky.—Illustrated Cata¬ 
logue for 1884. In the race for handsome catalogues,

prietor, Springfield, Ohio.—An attractive Catalogue of

niums leading articles, the list of which is complete with 
desirable sorts. Catalogue free to all applicants. 
Robert Buist, Jr., Philadelphia, Pa.—Almanac and 
Garden Manual for 1884. Mr. Buist adheres with re¬ 
markable tenacity to his old form of catalogue, which 
is the same, to all outward appearance, as the first one 
we saw from this house, more than thirty years ago, 
the only departure being illustrations, and an increase 
in the number of pages. This shows plainly his seeds 
sell on their merits, and that he holds his many 
patrons without the efforts that others find necessary to 
adopt.

—This finely illustrated work is intended as a supple¬ 
ment to their Annual Register, of which we gave a full 
notice in our last number. The “ Companion” is hand¬ 
somely illustrated with colored plates and engravings, 
and contains all the information needed to make garden¬ 
ing operations successful. Price 10 cents. Address 
D. Landretli & Sons, Philadelphia, Pa.

for the Garden, 35 Cortlandt Street, N.Y.—This is pre¬ 
cisely what it purports to be. A list of everything for 
the vegetable or flower garden, the farm or the lawn, 
130 pages of well printed matter in fine type, and richly 
illustrated, of what they grow, or test before selling 
Their specialties are the White Plume Celery, a valuable 
acquisition, as it can be grown well-blanched, without 
the expensive process of “ banking up,” and is, moreover, 
an ornament to the dinner-table. The new Rose “Sun¬ 
set ” is shown in its integrity by a life-like colored plate- 
We should advise all our readers to send for their 
Catalogue.

rare plants from Japan, also in Rhododendrons and 
Clematis, besides innumerable new things of rare merit 
not before sent out. We should advise such of our 
readers as wish to beautify their grounds to send for 
this catalogue. 
Randolph Peters, Wilmington, Del.—Descriptive 
Catalogue of Fruit and Ornamental Trees, Small-fruit 
Plants, Roses, Camellias, and miscellaneous. This com¬ 
plete catalogue, coming from a house so well and favor¬ 
ably known, needs only to be mentioned to warrant it 
a wide circulation.

trated Catalogue of Vegetable and Flower Seeds, Garden 
and Farm Implements, Small-fruit Plants, etc. etc.

increase in business, that warrants the expense of getting- 
up such neat and useful catalogues.

Delavan, Wis.—Price List of Fruit and Shade Trees, 
Small-fruit Plants, Ornamental Shrubs, Bulbs, Plants, 
etc., etc. Messrs. Phoenix’s well-known reputation 
should warrant an extensive circulation of their price¬ 
list. 
Frank Ford & Son, Ravenna, Ohio.—Catalogue of 
Small-fruit Plants, Seed Potatoes, Sweet Corn, Tomato 
Seed, etc. etc. Many of the seeds sold by this firm are 
listed as “new,” and for which are claimed points of 
superior excellence. The numerous testimonials they 
give is pretty go 3d evidence that their claims are well 
founded. 
H. S. Anderson, Union Springs, N.Y.—Annual Cat¬ 
alogue of Fruit Trees, Small-fruit and Ornamental 
Plants and Shrubs. This very complete list of nursery 
stock, grown in the very best section of the State for 
such productions, should have a wide circulation, and 
parties buying trees from that section of the country 
may depend upon getting as good stock as can be pro¬ 
duced anywhere. 
J. C. Vaughan, Chicago, Ill., presents us with his 
Catalogue of Vegetable and Flower Seeds, Bulbs and 
all Florist’s and Gardener’s supplies, also his “Corn and 
Potato Manual.” Both of these may be safely included 
in the list of beautiful and attractive catalogues, in 
fact we know of none having more artistic merits. 
The “Corn and Potato Manual” also possesses real 
merit,because of the information as to the history and 
cultivation of these important crops. 
Fred. N. Lang, Baraboo, Wis.—Catalogue of Live 
Seeds. This is certainly a new title to a seed catalogue,
