5 i A B C of Strawberry Culture**By T. B. Terry 85 

 Probably the leading book of the world on strawberries.

2 I Celery for Profit, by T. Greiner** 25 



The first really full and comiiltte book on celery culture, at 

 a moderate price, that we have had. It is full of pictures, 

 and the whole thin^ is made so plain that a schoolboy ought 

 to be able to grow paying crops at once, without any assis- 

 tance except from the book. 



8 I Domestic Economy, by I. H. Mayer, M. D.** 60 



This book ought to save at least the money it costs, each 

 year, in every household. It was written by a doctor, and one 

 who has made the matter of domestic economy a life-study. 

 The regular price of the book is $1.00; but by taking a large 

 lot of them we are enabled to make the price only 60 cts. 



Draining for Profit and Health, Warring.. 1 50 



10 Fuller's Grape Culturist ** 140 



Farming For Boys* 75 



This is one of Josepli Harris' happiest productions, and it 

 seems to me that it ought to make farm-lire fascinating to any 

 boy who has any sort of taste for gardening. 



7 I Farm, Gardening, and Seed-Growing** 90 



This is by Francis Brill, the veteran seed-grower, and is the 

 only book on gardening that I am aware of that tells how 

 market^gardeners and seed-growers raise and harvest their 

 own seeds. It has leepages 



12 I Gardening for Pleasure, Henderson* 1 85 



While ■■ Gardening for Profit "is written with a view of mak- 

 ing gardening pat, it touches a good deal on the pleasure part ; 

 and "Gardening for Pleasure " takes up this matter of beauti 

 tying your homes and improving your grounds without the 

 special point in view of making money out of it. I think most 

 of you will need this if you get " Gardening for Profit." This 

 work has iOi pages and 203 illustrations. 



13 I Gardening for Profit 1 85 



The latest revision of Peter Henderson's celebrated work 



Nothing that has ever before been put in print has done so 

 much toward making market-gardening a science and a fasci 

 nating industry. Peter Henderson stands at the head, withoul 

 question, although we have manv other books on these rural 

 employments. If you can get Init one book, let it be tlie 

 above. It has 376 pages and 138 cuts. 



I Gardening for Young and Old, Harris** ... 1 25 



This is Joseph Harris' best and hai)piest effort. Although it 

 goes over the same ground occupied by Peter Henderson, it 

 particularly emiihasizes thorouiih cultivation of the soil in 

 preparing your ground; and this matter of ad.ipting it to 

 young people as well as old is brought out in a most happv 

 vein. If jour children have any sort of fancy foi gardeningft 

 will pay you to make thein a present of this "book. It has 1?7 

 pages and 46 engravings.

5 i Gregory on Cabbages; jKiper* 25 



5 Gregory on Squashes: paper* 25 



6 1 Gregory on Onions; papei-* . 25 



The aliove three books, by o.ir fiiend Gregory, aie all val- 

 uable. The book on squashes especially is good reading foi« 

 almost anybody, whether they raise squashes or not. It strike' 

 at the vei-y foundation of" success in almost any kind oi 

 business. 



10 I Greenhouse Construction** 1 40 



This book, by Prof. Taft. is ju«t out. and is as full and com- 

 plete in regard to the building o: 

 next book in regard to their ii 

 builds even a small structure f" 

 will save the value of the book b\

15 I How to Make the Gar 



By T. Greiner. This is a new b 

 most explicit and full directions 

 any book in the world Those a\ 



cold-frames, cold-greenhouses, h •t-houses or glass structures 

 of any kind for the growth of phnits, can not afford to be with- 

 out the book. 



I Handbook for Lumber: u en 10 



10 I Household Convenience- .. 140 



2 I How to Propagate and G row Fruit, Green* 15 

 2 I Injurious Insects, Cook 25 



10 I Irrigation for the Farm, Garden, and Or- 



chard, Stewai-i* 1 4D 



This book, so far as I am informed, is almost the only work 

 on this matter that is attracting; so much interest, especially 

 recently. Using water from springs, brooks, or windmills, to 

 take the place of rain, duiing our great droughts, is the great 

 problem before us at the present day. The^ book has 274 pages 

 and U2 cuts. 



5 I Manures; How to M.-ike and How to L"se 



them ; in paper covers 45 



6 I The same in cloth coveKe 65 



Covering the whole matter, and discussing every thing to be 



found on the fanii, refuse from factories, mineral fertilizers 

 from mines, etc. It is a complete summing-up of the whole 

 matter. It is written by F. W. Sempers. 



7 I Market-gardening and Farm Notes, by 



Burnett Landreth 90 



The Landreths are the pioneer seedsmen of America; and 

 the book is worth fully as much as we might expect it to be. I 

 think 1 received hints from it worth the price, before it had 

 been in my hands fifteen minutes. It is exceedingly practical, 

 and tells wliat has been done and what is being done, more 

 than it discourses on theory. 



3 I Maple Sugar and the Sugar-bu-sh** 35 



By Prof. A. J. Cook. This was written in the spring of 1887 at 

 my request. As the author has, perhaps, one of the finest 

 sugar-camps in the United States, as well as beinir an enthusi- 

 astic lover of all farm industries, he is better tltted. perhaps, to 

 handle the subject tha an other man. The book is written 

 in Prof. Cook's happy styl combining wholesome moral les- 

 sons with the latest "and best method of managing to get the 

 finest syrup and maple sugar, with the least possible expendi- 

 ture of cash and labor. Everybody who makes sugar or mo- 

 lasses wants the sugar-book. It has 42 pages and 35 cuts. 



I Our Farming, by T. B. Terry** S2.00 



In which he tells "how we have made a run-down farm 

 bring both profit and pleasure." 



3 I Onions for Profit ** 45 



Fully up to the times, and includes both the old onion cul- 

 ture and the new method. The book is fully illustrated, and 

 written wltli all the enthusiasm and interest that character- 

 ize its author. T. Greiner. Even if one is not particularly in- 

 terested in the business, almost any person who picks up 

 Greiner's books will like to read them" through.

Over 30,000 words and 2-=>0 illustrations. 



2 I Rats: How to Rid Farms and Buildings of 



them, as well as other Pests of like Char- 

 acter 15 



This little book ought to be worth dollars instead of the few 

 cents it costs to any one who has ever been troubled with these 

 pests, and who has not? It is written in such a happy vein 

 that every member of the familj- will read it clear through, 

 just about as soon as they get hold of it. It contains a com- 

 plete summing up of the best information the world can 

 furnish. 



1 I Silk and the Silkworm 10 



10 I Small-Fruit Culturist, Fuller 140 



10 I Success in Market-Gardening* 90 



This is a new book by a real, live, enterprising, successful 

 market-gardener who lives in Arlington, a subui-b of Boston. 

 Mass. Friend Rawson has been one of the foremost to make 

 iri-igation a practical success, and he now irrigates his grounds 

 by means of a windmill and steam-engine whenevera drought 

 threatens to injure the crops. The book has 208 pages, and is 

 nicely illu.strated with 110 engravings. 



I Ten, Acres Enough .. 100 



I Talks on Manures* 175 



This book, by Joseph Harris is, perhaps, the most compre- 

 hensive one we h.ive .m the subject, and the whole matter is 

 considered by an able writer. It contains ;)66 pages.

 10 I The New Agriculture; or, the Waters Led 



Captive ... 75

In three parts. Part fli-st— by J. w; Day, of Crystal Springs, 

 Jliss . tieats of tomato culture in the South, with some re- 

 marks by A. I Root, adfiptingitto the North. Part second- 

 By D Cummins, of Conneaut. O.. treats of tomato culture 

 esppcially for canning factories. Part third— By A. I. Root, 

 tieats of pLant-gri>wing lor market, and high-pressure garden- 

 ing in general. This little liook is interestingbecause it is one 

 of the hrst rural books to come from our friends in the South. 



3 I Winter Care of Horses and Cattle 35 



This is friend Terry's second book in regard to farm matters; 

 but it is so intimately connected with his potato-book that it 

 reads almost like a sequel to it. If you have only ahorse or a 

 cow. I think it will pay you to invest in the book. It has 44 

 pages and 4 cuts.
