THE KUMERLE I.IMA BEAN ONCE MORE. 



Since our last, I have discovered two individuals 

 besides myself, who have raised these beans. They 

 have, however, hud the same trouble in getting it to 

 ripen that we had. This maybe owing to the pe- 

 culiarly cold weather labt season at the time they 

 were planted. We have suoceeded in buying a very 

 few, and can therefore offer them for he each, in- 

 stead of 25e a bean, to those who may care to try it. 



SOME MORE LiITTLE BOARDS FOR SALE CHEAP. 



The lot I spoke of in our editorial, p 149, Feb. 15, 

 were all sola very quickly: but we have now about 

 5000 pieces, which our iriends may have until they 

 are gone, for a cent apiece. We have generally 

 used them for makuig chaff-packed diviMion-boards, 

 but we have now too many for that purpose. 

 They are 27 inches long, 3 wide, and i% thick, planed 

 on one side— all clear pine.

KIND WORDS FROM OUR CUSTOMERS.

 TISEMENT WILL DO.

KIND WORDS FUR OUR GARDEN SEEDS. 



We are more than pleased with the garden seed 

 that you send out. There is at least one-third more 

 seed in each package than we have been in the hab- 

 it of getting for the same money. Please accept 

 thanks for promptness. W. L. Cogqshall.

KIND WORD IN RhGARU TO PROMPTNESS. 



My seeds came to-day. I will admit you waste no 

 time in tilling orders, yours being the first of three 

 to reach me, although 1 sent the order to you two 

 days later than the others. J. H. Snider.

KIND WORDS FOR MAKCH'S AMERICAN GROWN 

 CAULIFLOWER SEEDS. 



I thank you for promptness in shipping, and will 

 say I have some very nice-looking plants from the 

 seeds. The cauliflower seeds beat any I ever had 

 before. We usually sow much thicker than cab- 

 bage, and get half its many plants; but every seed 

 must have germinated. This is quite an item with 

 expensive seeds. W. HiCKOx.

SMITH'S PUMP FOR SI'KAYING FRUIT-TREES. 



The Smith pump is attracting attention here, 

 owing to ih(^ fact that it can t)e used for so many 

 different puiposes; and beuig so cheap and simple 

 where it gets out of order, or broken, it can be 

 thrown aside ond replaced by a new one. 1 have 

 broUnn it to a tiew use by attaching Vj-inch hose 

 and itTiproved spraying nozzle. It is well ariaptecl to 

 sprajingemnlsions in nursery— especially citrus 

 nurseries. With me it has proved quite eff'ective.

THE DOVETAILED HIVE A WONDER FOR CHEAP- 



NESS, AND ACCURA(;y OF WORK. 



I am well pleased with your Dovetailed hive and 

 its fixtures. It is a wonder to me how you can 

 send out so good a hive for the money. Every thing 

 is so true that you can put thetn up without any 

 trouble. The freight charges were onlv 82 cts., hut 

 the duty was $2 2.5. 1 think your Dovetailed hive Is 

 just what I want, for it is for an inside hive, as I 

 use a double hive, and winter on summer stand.
