A NEW BOOK ON 



Tomato Culture, 

 Plant Growing, 



AND 



Hig-h Pressure 

 Gardening in 

 General. 



Price 35c; By flail, 40c. 



To get your tomatoes started, more or less garden- 

 ing under glass must be dune, as you 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 the most valuable if not (?ie 

 most valuable of any work on raising plants and 

 vegetables that require protection from the frost; 

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

 year, or the middle of the winter, or in the 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 Gt.ranings; butprob 

 ably considerably more than half will be found new 

 to our readers.

"You Push the51ide; Nature 

 Does the Rest." 



The first jtcrfect and jtractiail iion- 

 s«-,-iriiij7jo- plan that ]i;is ever been brought to 

 completion is fotiiKl iit last. Nothing like it ever 

 done. I worked the plan on lOO colonies last 

 year (1893), and I do not make any statements at 

 random in my circular, as each point has been fully 

 tested. Tells you all about it. No hunting or cag- 

 ing queens, cutting cells, moving hives, or even 

 opening tlie Ijrood-chambers at all during the honey 

 sea.son, etc., etc., and more honev with no 

 swnrininu:. Get into line and " keep up with the 

 procession," or you'll get left. The device will be 

 puton the market within the reach of all; or, if your 

 dealer does not supply them yet, they may be or- 

 dered of me by express or freight at the following 

 prices, complete: 75 cts. each; 15.00 per 10; $40.00 per 

 loo. By mail, 35 cts. extra. As one device works 

 two hi^'es, at ten rates the cost is only 25 els. per 

 hive. Be sure to setid for circular, as this plan is 

 almost too good to believe its being true.
