GLEANINGS IN BEE CULTURE. 



mi 



2 I Celery for Profit, by T. Greiner** 3o 



The first reaily full and ouniplete l)0<|k on oeleiy oulHir>-, at 

 a moilerate price, that we hnve liad. It is full of picnires. 

 anil the whole thinp: is made si> plain that a schoolboy ought 

 to be able to giowpayinif crops at once, without any assis- 

 tance except from the book 



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



This book ouy:ht to save at'least ihe niouey it costs, each 

 year, in every household. It w.is wi'ltteii by a d ictor, and one 

 who has made the matter of domestic icoiiomy a life study. 

 The ref^ular pi ice of the book is *1 Oil; but bv takinpr a large 

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



I Drainiiifi for Vrofltuiid Health, Wairiiig-. . I 50 



10 I Fuller''^ (xnipe Cultiirist** 140 



This is, perhaps, the most systematic, comprehensive, and 

 thorough woik on grajie culture now in print ; in fact 

 friend fuller here tells us how, by easy steps, to make any 

 grapevine come into the work, and make ,a pleasant, orderly 

 appearjvnce: and he makes it as attractive as a piece of fic- 

 tion; and the best p.art of it is, that you get great crops of 

 beautiful grapes during almost .inv kind of sea.~on. We have 

 tested the system, and know whereof we speak. 



I Fiirmiiig- For Boys* ^n 



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

 seems to nie that it ought to make larui-Iire tascin.iting loanj 

 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 

 marketrgardeners «nd seed-u'rowers raise and harvest theii 

 own seeds. It has It;6 pages 



12 I Gardening- for Pleasiiii . Henderson* 1 85 



While 'Gardening for Profii i^ written with a viewof mak 

 ing gardening Pay. it touches a good deal on the pleasure part; 

 and "'Gardening foi- Plea^ure " takes up this matter of beauti 

 tying your homes and improving your grounds without the 

 special pointln view of making money out of it. I thil^k most 

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

 work has 404 pages and 20.'j illustrations. 



12 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 mnrkct^ gardening a science and a fasci 

 nating industry. Peter Henderson stands at the head, without 

 question, although we have manv other books on these rural 

 employments. If you can get but one book, let it lie thf 

 above" It has 376 pages and 138 cuts. 



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



Tni- is Joseph Harris' best and happiest effort. Although it 

 goes over the same ground occupied by Peter Henderson, it 

 particularly emphasizes thorough cultivation of the soil in 

 preparing your grovind; and this matter of adapting it to 

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

 vein. If your children have any sort of fancy foi gardening it 

 will pay .YOU to make them a present of this book. It has 187 

 pages arid 46 engravings. 



10 I Garden and Farm Topics. Henderson** 75 



I Gray's School and Field Honk of Hotany . . I 80 



5 I Gregory on Cabliag-es; paper* 25 



5 Gregory on Squashes; paper* 26 



6 I Greg'ory on Onions; paper* 25 



The above three books, bv our friend (iregory, are all val- 

 uable. The book on squashes especially is good reading for 

 almost anybod V. whether they raise scjuashes or not. It strikes 

 at the very foundation of success in almost any kind o( 

 business. 



10 I Greenhouse Construction** 1 40 



This book, bv Prol . Taft. is ju>t out. and is as full and com 

 plete in regard to the bitilding of all glass structures as is the 

 next book in regard to their management. Anv one who 

 builds even a small str-ictuie for plant-growing under glass 

 will save the value of the book by reading it "arefully. 



15 1 How to Make tlie Garden Pay.** 1 35 



. By T. Grcinci- This is a n<w book, just out, and it gives the 

 most explicit and full directions for gardening under glass of 

 any book in the world Those who are interested in hot-beds, 

 cold-frames, cold-greenhouses, hot-houses or glass structures 

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

 out tile book.

3 I Tn.iurious Insects, Cook r.'5 



10 I [rrig-iition for the Farm. Garden, and Or- 

 chard. Stewart* I 4(' 



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

 on this matter thnt is attracting so much Interest, especialh 

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

 take the place of rain, during our great droughts, is the gieai 

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

 and 142 cuts.

them; in paper covers 45

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

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



7 I Market-gardening ;ind Farm Notes, by 



Burnett Landreth 90 



The Landreths ai-e the pioneer seedsmen of America; and 

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

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

 been in my hands fifteen minutes. It is cM'eediii^'l.v lu-aetical, 

 and tells what has been done and wh.it is being done, more 

 than it discourses on theory. 



3 I Maple Sugar and the Siigat-hush** 3^ 



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

 uiy request. As the autlioi- has, perhaps, one of the finest 

 sugar-camps in the United states, as well as being an enthusi 

 astic lover of all farm industries, be is better il tied, perhaps, to 

 handle the sub.iecl tha an 'ither man. The nook is written 

 in Pr<pi Cook's happy styl I'omliining wholesome moral les- 

 sons with the latest and best uietlio.i oi managing lo get the

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

 bring both profit and pleasure." 



This is a large book. 6x9 inches. 367 pages, quite fully illus- 

 trated. It is Terry's Hr-.t large book; and while it touc-hes on 

 the topics treated in his smaller handbooks.it is ^ut1ieiently 

 different so that no one will complain of rerietition. even if he 

 h.as re.id all of Terry's little books. I should call it the bright- 

 est and most practical book on farming before the world at 

 the pre.-ent ilay. The p, ice is S2 00 postpaid; or clubbed with 

 Gleanings for 2 .1(1 Thosi- who are already subscribers to 

 Gleanings may have it postpaid by sending us l.iO more. We 

 are so sure it will be worth many times its cost that we are 

 not afraid to ofTer to take It b.ick it any one feels he has not 

 got his money's worth .ifter he has read it. If ordered by ex- 

 press or freight with other goods. lOc less.

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

3 I Kats: How to Rid Farms and Buildings of 

 them, ;is 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 family 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

I Ten Acre.* Enough 1 on

The -ingle chapter on diirging ilitches, with the illustrations 

 given by Fiof. Chaiul'crhiii). shonld alone make the book 

 worth what itco>ts, to evi ly one who has occasion to lay ten 

 rods or more of tile. There is as mucli science in diirging as 

 in doing .almost any thing else; and b.y followimr the plan 

 directed in the book one. man will often do as much as two 

 men without this knowledge. The book embraces every thing 

 connected with the subject, .md was written by the author 

 while he was cngai^ed in the work of digging the ditches and 

 hiving the tiles H1MSKI.I-". for he has laid literally jniles of
