The new catalogue of the Storrs& Harrison Co., Painesville, O., com¬ 
prises in its 168 pages a remarkable variety of fruit, vegetable and or¬ 
namental stock. 
Thomas Meehan & Sons, Germantowm, Philadelphia, have issued a 
handsome catalogue for the fall of 1898. It presents in most attractive 
style lists of the desirable things in fruit and ornamental stock, par¬ 
ticularly the latter. 
Leuault-IIuet, Ussy, France, represented in America by C. H. Joos- 
ten, 193 Greenwich street. New York city, has issued his usual com¬ 
prehensive wholesale catalogue of nursery stock. The list indicates at 
a glance the extensiveness of this well known nursery. 
In every respect the new catalogue of W. & T. Smith Co., Geneva, 
N. Y., is up to date. Its attractiveness is enhanced by the knowledge, 
wide spread, that this is one of the oldest and most reliable nurseries 
in the world. For more than 50 years the Geneva Nursery has been 
before the public. 
Recent numbers of the Experiment Station Record cite bulletins on 
“ Effect of Stem Ringing on Broadleaved Deciduous Trees,” “Fruit 
Statistics of New Jersey,” “Fruit Culture in South Dakota,” “ Prom¬ 
ising New Fruits,” “Testing Fruits,” “Small Fruit Culture,” “Prin¬ 
ciples of Pruning,” “San Jose Scale in Delaware.” 
Secretary L. A. Goodman, of the Missouri State Horticultural So¬ 
ciety, has issued the thirty-ninth annual report of the society, compris¬ 
ing the meetings held in June and December, 1896. It is a volume of 
407 pages, substantially bound, and like all of the Missouri Society re¬ 
ports it is of much interest and value as it must be, considering 
Missouri’s importance as a fruit state. 
“Glen St. Mary Nurseries, 1898, Geo. L. Taber, Proprietor, Glen St. 
Mary, Fla.” is the wording on the front cover of one of the most unique, 
handsome and valuable catalogues that has ever been published in the 
South. These nurseries, established fifteen years ago, by the present 
proprietor, are well and favorably known by the horticulturists of the 
lower South. In addition to the full description of 300 varieties of 
fruits and ornamentals listed, there are many pages of valuable cultural 
information, the result of practical orchard experience—not theory. 
The eighth annual report of the Missouri Botanical Garden has been 
issued. Renewed interest in this institution is taken by the members 
of the American Association of Nurserymen, because of the most en¬ 
joyable feature of the St. Louis convention last June, occasioned by 
the invitation to visit the garden and attend the annual banquet, ex¬ 
tended to the members by Dr. William Trelease, the director of the 
garden. All who are interested in botany should be proud of this in¬ 
stitution representing as it does the growing interest in the subject 
in this country. Europe has had great botanical gardens many years. 
Notwithstanding the loss occasioned at the Missouri garden by the 
tornado of May 27th, amounting to $12,000, the trustees are planning 
for the gradual execution, without serious lapse of time, of the wishes 
of the founder Henry Shaw, The annual report shows an extension 
throughout the garden. Dr. Trelease contributes a most interesting 
scientific paper on his botanical observations during trips to the Azore 
Islands in 1894 and 1896. He has contributed a valuable catalogue of 
the plants of the Azores with excellent illustrations.
