Plants for May. 



The demand has been so very good that there is 

 not a thing we are prepared to otfer at a bargain 

 unless it is Sharpless strawberries, and we have 

 some of the finest on our creek-bottom ground that 

 lever saw or heard of ; and in order to cut paths 

 we shall have to take out several thousand; there- 

 fore if ordered at once we will furnish them at 30 

 cts. per 100, or $2 50 per 1000. The plants are so ex- 

 ceedingly large and ilirifty that the postage will be 

 30 cts. per 110 instead of 20. We also have several 

 hundred %'ery fine nlants of Thompson's Early Pro- 

 lific raspberries. These are listed at $2 50 a dozen. 

 We will furnish them while they last, for just half 

 the above price. If wanted by mail, add half a 

 cent each additional for postage. Turner and 

 Cuthbert raspberry-plants can be furnished for 

 f I.OO per ICO if ordered within the next 15 days.

KIND WORDS FROM OUR CUSTOMERS. 



GLEANINGS AS AN ADVERTISING MEDIUM. 



Just mailed you a postal ordering my ad. in Ex- 

 change department stopped. It has brought about 

 a bushel of answers. L. J.Tbifp. 



Kalamazoo, Mich., April 12, 1890. 



OUR GARDEN SEEDS. 



The seeds sent me about 10 days ago came to hand 

 in good condition. Knowing the value of an unso- 

 licited testimonial, I desire to let you know that 

 they were as fine a lot as I have ever seen- in fact, 

 the finest and cheapest too. I have bou,ght seeds 

 from several of tne prominent seedsmen of the 

 country during the last ten years, but I have never 

 had seeds come up so quickly nor so regularly. I 

 think I can get many a customer for you here, 

 where market- gardening is so vigorously carried 

 on. John Aspinwall,. 



Eau Gallic, Fla., March 23, 1890. 



A KIND WORD FOR PROF. COOK. 



Pro/. Cook:— Perhaps I am taking a great liberty 

 by writing to you; but I have received great ben- 

 efit from studying your Manual of the Apiary, and 

 have been very successful, so that 1 raise from nine 

 to twelve thousand pounds of honey per j car, and 

 have bought a property with a maple-sugar orchard 

 on it; and seeing your name to a piece in my paper, 

 on the way to manage a sugar orchard, I thought 

 that you would be the best person to get informa- 

 tion from to manage one in the best way. Is there 

 a book published on the subject'/ or if there is not, 

 would it not be a good idea for you to publish a 

 pamphlet on the subject? George Harris.
