MONROK SEEDLING POTATOES. 



In another column I said something- about pur- 

 chasing- a carload ot Monroe Seedling- potatoes. 

 They are the nicest lot of potatoes I ever saw, with 

 the exception of tlie Freemans. In fact, the Monroe 

 Seedling- -was the potato of Terry's deliberate choice 

 before Hie Freeman made its appearance. Well, 

 now, if you want these potatoes this fall, we can 

 make you a price on them so you can afford to use 

 them for the table if you do not want them for 

 seed. They are stored in nice new white l:)asswood 

 potato-boxes, and you may have them for *1.00 per 

 bushel, box and all, or S3.50 per barrel of 11 pecks. 

 If you look at the prices of potatoes in the catalog's, 

 you will see that $3.50 per barrel is a low figure for 

 even grood eating potatoes; and if you want a nice 

 medium early potato for seed, you can not find any 

 thing better than the Monroe Seedling. If you 

 wish to see a sample of the potatoes, we will send 

 by mail, postpaid, a pound foi- 15 cents. If you 

 wish to buy a carloaa, perhaps you had better cor- 

 respond with Wilbur Fenn, Tallmadge, Summit Co., 

 O., direct. Now, these potatoes were purchased 

 and are to be sold for seed; and if you want to know 

 what seedsmen propose to charge per barrel, just 

 look in any of the seed-catalogues where tliey have 

 begun to quote poUitoes. 1 do not believe any of 

 them have got a mucli better potato than the Mon- 

 roe Seedling; but notice liow many dollars per 

 barrel they are charging for them, 



WHITE MUI.TIPL1EK ONIONS, 



We have finally succeeded m getting a dozen 

 bushels or more of these new white onions. So far 

 as I can learn they are very much like the Potato 

 onions, except that they are white— as handsome. 

 In fact, as the American Pearl onions. They are 

 just as early, and will sell at the same price, and 

 they never send up a seed-stalk— that is. they do not 

 so far as I know, I believe they are usually planted 

 out in September, usually in rows a foot apart and 

 8 or lU inches apart in the row. You may remem- 

 ber, however, that a number of the readers of 

 Gleanings have suggested that they succeeded 

 better with Potato onions when planted in Novem- 

 ber than at any other time. I know thej- are very 

 hardy, because we have had them outdoors all win- 

 ter for two winters past. Some of them, set out 

 about two weeks ago, have started, and are growing 

 nicely. The prices so far have been very high. 

 Peter Henderson, in his autumn wholesale cata- 

 logue, quotes them at $3,50 per peck, or $8.50 per 

 bushel. Surely it oug-ht to pay to grow onions when 

 they bring such prices at wholesale. Well, our 

 price, while our stock lasts, is only f 1,00 per peck, 

 or $3,50 per bushel. In smaller quantities the price 



will be 10 cts, per pt.. or 15 ets. per quart. If wanted 

 by mail, add at the rate of 10 cts. per quart for post> 

 age and packing. If any of you have White Multi- 

 pliers or White Potato onions to sell, you might tell 

 us how many you have, and what you want for 

 tliem; or. if you prefer, I think an advertisement in 

 the pages of Gleanings would bring you custom- 

 ers. There seems to be a great call for these kinds 

 of onions, as well as for onion-sets; and I think we 

 can help each other by comparing notes and making 

 an interchange. 



GAULT'S PERPETUAL RASPBERRY. 



Since what I have said in regard to the stock be- 

 ing sold out, fi-iend Gault informs me that one lot 

 of plants that he had sold is likely to be thrown 

 back on his hands and he promised them to me to 

 use as premiums for subscriptions to Gleanings; 

 therefore I make the following offer: For 3 new 

 subscriptions to our journal. Gleanings in Bee 

 Culture, T will present to the g-ettei'-up of the club 

 one of Gaulfs Perpettnil i-aspberi-y-plants; the same 

 for 4 old stiljsciibers or 7-eiiewals; or we ^\\\\ send 

 the rasi)berry-plant, and give a subscription to 

 Gleanings for one year, for %\StiS. Plants will be 

 sent by mall, postpaid, next spring, any time when 

 you get ready for them.
