 catalog; price of the Freeman is $1.50 per bushel; 

 our price is 75 cts.; Kural New-Yorker, $1.75 per 

 bushel; our price, 40 cents. 



OUR PRICES ON SEEDS. 



Please compare them witli the prices you find 

 elsewliere, and see how close we have tigured our 

 protlis. In regard to the quality, we are planting 

 the same we sell everyday; and just the minute 

 there is a thing wrong we expect to Ond it out long 

 before any hotly else. Where a betier grade of seed 

 is offered at a higher price, wt> have not hesitated to 

 pay the grower the price when we were satisfied the 

 seed was really superior. Notice ilie low prices 

 given on all of ihe clover seeds; and it will be time 

 to begin sowing the clover now in a very few weeks. 



THE SIR WILLIAM POTATO AS REPORTED BY THE 

 OHIO EXPEHIMKNT STATH)N. 



In Newspaper Bulletin 154 we find the following: 

 Sir William? Some have thought that this variety 

 has been overrated; but at the Station and sub-sta- 

 tions it h:is made a record second to none. It easily 

 ranks with the most prolific varieties, and exct Is 

 most of thcjm ill table qualities. All things consid- 

 ered, it deserves a place near the head of the list. 



The Sir William gave a yield of 308 bushels per acre 

 at the Central Station, which was the highest of 70 

 varieties tried, with the exception of one, the Kosli- 

 konong, which was 3u9. At tlie two substations in 

 different localities it also ran very high. See special 

 low rate on the Sir Williams, gi\ en in our last issue. 

 This is the potato, it will be remembered, that W. 1. 

 Chamberlain, the author of our book on tile drain 

 age, has recommended so highly and grown so ex- 

 tensively. It is refreshing to see the E.\periment 

 Station i^ack him up so thoroughly in all that he 

 said of the Sir William. 



"EVERITT'S" THOROUGHBRED POTATO. 



We see by Everitt's catalog, just received, that he 

 toohiisgola new early potato. He calls it "Ever- 

 itt's Thoroughbied." Now, this m:iy be all right, 

 even if it i\s bad taste to name his potato '"Thor- 

 oughbred" just after Maule's Th iioughbred has 

 been so thoroughly advertised. L5ut besides this he 

 has quoted what Terry said in the Practical Farmer, 

 and what I have said in Gleanings in regard to 

 Maule's Thoroughbred, and applied it to liis own, not 

 giving even a rcord nf credit or recognition to the 

 Practical Farmer or to Gleamngs. The question is. 

 Is Everitt'sThoroughbred the samethiiig as Maule's 

 Thoroughbred? Here is apart of what Maule says 

 in regard to the matter: 



Mr. Root:— Your letter is lilje a thunderbolt out of a clear 

 sky. I have nut seen Everitt's eatalop, but we have never sulci 

 him any of these potatoes, nor could ho have bought them 

 from us at any price. I named tliis potato myself, and the 

 originator did not know until a short time ago what name it 

 was going to be sold under: we have never had any thing so 

 close in our hands as this potato; and to protect ourselves we 

 took every potato we knew to be raised of this variety the 

 past summer, so there is no question but what we have con- 

 trol of the entire stock, and it was impossible for Everitt to 

 get the genuine article in any way, shape, oi' form. Such prac- 

 tices as this hurt every legitimate house in the trade.

LIST OF CLOSE-OUTS. 



In rearranging our list of miscellaneous goods we 

 find a good many odds and ends which we do not 

 care to catalog, as we will not keep them after 

 present stock is sold. In order to close these goods 

 out quickly we have made up a list of them and 

 cut tlie price from 30 to luO per cent from former 

 prices. This places many of the goods below cost. 

 We have combined this list with our premium list 

 in a Iti-page ptimphlet, of whi h we have printed 

 3.5,000. These are being mailed with our catalog, 

 south and west, as far as they will reach. The 

 premium list htiving already been given to our 

 readers, we give you in this issue the list of close- 

 outs. Remember, these goods can not be duplicat- 

 ed at these prices, and are therefore offered subject 

 to previous sale. In ordering from this list it- will 

 be prudent to name a second or third ch liceof goods 

 to send for your n oney in case the goods first 

 chosen are sold before your order reaches us.
