A NEW BOOK ON 



Tomato Culture, 

 Plant Growing, 



AND 



High Pressure 

 Gardening in 

 General. 



Price 35c; By flail, 40c. 



To get your tomatoes started, more or loss garden- 

 ing under ghiss must be done, as jniu are probably 

 well aware. Well, when you can manage the toma- 

 to under glass, you are ready to manage almost any 

 other vegetable crop; therefore we regard the to- 

 mato book as one of tlie most valuable if not (/je 

 most valuable of any work on raising i)lants and 

 vegetables that require protection from tiie frost; 

 and whether the protection is to be in the fall of the 

 year, ortiie middle of the winter, or in tlie spring 

 months, you will find the tomato book full of the 

 latest and most modern appliances for giving pro- 

 tection at the smallest expense. Of course, a part 

 of it has already appeared in Gle^mncs; butprob 

 ably considerably more than half will be found new 

 to our readers.

Galvanic Battery Cheap. 



I have one new combined Mcintosh galvanic (18 

 cell), with the same a Faraday l)attery all complete 

 in ;i liighly finished blackwaliiut case, nickel-plated 

 handles, and in short the hai tery is in every respect 

 ciimpU'tr, vL^ed but little, from tlie fact it was pur- 

 ciiased for use in a disease that it would not reach. 

 It cost new in January, 1893, $47.00 in Chicago. I 

 will sell the same for $35.00, or would exchange for a 

 one-horse-power Shipman engine in good order.
