some Street, San Francisco, Cal.—The Pacific Coast can

section. It is complete in all that is needed for a first- 
class vegetable or flower garden.

Guide to Rose Culture for 1884. If possible, this cata¬ 
logue is more attractive than any heretofore sent out by 
this firm, which is saying considerable. It is fully il¬ 
lustrated, has two well executed colored plates, and 
many fine wood-cuts, giving a correct idea of the cha¬ 
racter of the Roses represented. This firm makes the 
Rose the most prominent feature, and their success 
shows what well directed labor in any given direction 
will do.

Livingston’s Seed Annual — A. W. Livingston's Sons,

cause of its solid wisdom. Our experience is, that low- 
priced seeds are not always the cheapest.

logue for 1884 is brilliant with illustration of the “ Crim¬

other choice fruits he supplies will interest thousands of 
our readers. His catalogue is sent free.
