NEW BOOKS, 



AND OTHER BOOKS NOT FOUND IN CATA- 

 LOGUE ON NEXT PAGE. 



15 I How to Make the Garden Pay.** 1 35 



By T. Greiner. This is a new 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 oi- glass structures 

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

 out the book. 



5 I The New Onion Culture* 30 



This book is by T. Greiner, and it gives full particulars of 

 the plan of plantinir onion seed in a greenhouse, hot^bed, or 

 cold-frame, and planting the onions out in the field at the 

 time we usually sow the seed. The author thinks that 2(K)0 

 bushels of the large tropical onion can by this method be 

 raised on nn acre. 



2 I The New Celery Culture 16 



This summing-up of this new industry amounts to this: 



You fix 3'our ground just as rich as you can possibly get it, 

 with stable manure, chemical fertilizers, or any thing else that 

 will do the business. Then put out your plants 7 inches apart 

 each way, and give theni water enough to make them boom 

 right along from the word go. The idea is somewhat new; 

 but enough succeede<l in 189! to demonstrate that, like the new- 

 onion culture, it promises great possibilities. 



3 I Kats: 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 whohaseverbeen troubled with these 

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

 that ever.v member of the family \vjll read it clear through, 

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

 plete summing up of the best information the world can 

 furnish. 



5 I Tile drainage, by W. I. Chamberlain a5 



Just out. Fully illustrated, containing every thing of im- 

 portance dear up to the present date. 



The single chapter on digging ditches, with the illustrations 

 given by Prof Cliamberlain, should alone make the book 

 worth what it costs, to every one who has occasion to lay ten 

 rods or more of tile. There is as much science in digging as 

 in doing almost anything else; and by following the plan 

 directed in this book, one man will often do as much as two 

 men without this knowledge. The book embraces everj- thing 

 connected with the subject, and was written b.y the author 

 while he was ensa ed in the work of digging the ditches and 

 laying the tiles HIMSELF, for he has laid literally miles of 

 tile on his own farm in Hudson, O.
