Alsike is very scarce, and we have had difficultv in 

 finding any at any price. We have, however, just 

 .secured .30 bushels of an extra-fine lot of isfed grown 

 by a bee keeper; but it co t us so nearly S8 OJ a bushel 

 that it is almost •swapping one dollar for anotht-r to 

 sell it at that. When this I'.t of seed is sold out I do 

 not kno v where we are going to get any more. Bet- 

 ter put in your orders now if you wa t it so as to 

 have it on hand when the right time to sow it comes.

 any Doiut further .south than we aie. at our risk of 

 freezing; or we will set aside all potato-s sold, and 

 keep th-ra in an excellent cellar and ship them in 

 good ' rder after April 1 If vou hive not the very 

 best kind nf cellar you had better let us keep them for 

 you. We have done it for year-; without a failure, and 

 ■we can keep them without sprouting until April 1.

Seconds of any of the above will be (while they last) 

 half the price of firsts, with the understanding that 

 the seconds not only contain the small potatoes but 



those thst are scabby, prongy, or cut in digging. The 

 scabby ones are just as good for seed if tieated in the 

 usual way with corrosive sublimate, but ihey are a 

 little more trouble. 



Seed PotatuCA as Premiums. 



Any one sending $1,00 for (i leanings, and asking 

 for no otlier preniuim, may have 2.5 cents' worth of 

 potatoes. And any one who is a sub.scriber, and who 

 sends us $1.00 and one new name may have .50 cents' 

 worth of potatoes; but if the potatoes are wanted by 

 mail the subscriber must pay postage. Please notice 

 we give potatoes as premiums, but we can not afford 

 to give postage-stamps. A descriptive sheet of the 

 above varieties wdl be mailed on application. 



Early Ohio and the New Russet, Michigati giown, 

 can be shipped at above prices from Travel se City, 

 Mich,, when our cust'.mers are nearer that point. 



HUBBARD SQUASH SEED. 



Last season we had some trouble about seed not be- 

 ing true to name; but every complaint has been fixed 

 up so far as we know. This year we have a splendid 

 !• t of seed — the handsomest I ever saw — grown by one 

 of our bee-keepers, from seed furnished \-y ourselves. 

 T^esedwas not removed from the squa^lie-i until 

 the ini'ldle of the winter Yon will notice by Gregory 

 that such seed is very much plumper, and superior to 

 that taken out in the fall Good Hubliard squashes 

 a'-e never a glut in the market— at least I never heard 

 of such being the case. See very low prices above. 



Cold-Frame or Hot«Bed Sash at Lower Prices. 



'2S:2.3QE2^'i2S^Si3*^KS^sxji2»iii^sas-«^'' 



The sash aro nf the regular size, 8 ft. 4 iudies by 6 

 ft., for four rows of glass 8 inches wide. If any 

 pit fer larger glass we will furnish sash for 3 rows 

 of 11 inch glass .it tlie same price. 



riiesesasli are usually shipped from here knocked 

 d.wn at a low rate of fieight, and they can be put 

 t-.-Mther by anybody. If done securely they are 

 just as strong as tlie regular sash. They are 1?8 in. 

 ill ck, outside bars about 3 inches wide, and inside 

 1)1 es about IJ^. The bars are groovt d to slip the 

 g ass in place If a light of glass is broken, move 

 ibem up close and slide anotlier in from the bottom 

 end. If any )>refer the bars rabbeted to set glass in 

 IJUitv, we will make them so on re(4uest. 



Price of one sash, in the fi-it, for sample, with- 

 out glnss. 70 cts. ; 5 in 'he flat. 65 cts. each: 10 in the 

 Hat. 60 cts each. Gla-s, 8xlo, just right for the 

 tibove, f2 75 per bo.v ol 9 i lights. 



Sash put up. no glass or paint, 10 cts. each extra; 

 III CIS. each extra for each coat of paint, and gl.OO 

 each extra for glass s-t in place, making the sash 

 put up, painted two coats, and tilled with glass, at 

 ■t 1 95 each in lots of .5. The risk and freight t harges 

 are so much more shipped put up witn glass that we 

 do not recommend you to order this way, and we can 

 not well pack less than 5 safely. 



We would not advise shipping a less number than 

 five; but if you take our advice you will have all 

 .\our glass sash shipped in the flat. In this case 

 Ihey go as fourth-class freiglit: whereas, all com- 

 plete they will have to go as first-class, and some 

 I'oads rate them as double first-class. 



The new white bush bean, the Prize=winner. 



During the past season we grew two crops (ripe and 

 drv) of these on the same ground. Quality and yield 

 were both ahead of any white beans we ki ow of. 



This was fully described on pages 930 and 938 

 Glk.\nin<;s for IJec. 1. We have just secured fr( m 

 the grower enough so that we can make the following 

 very reasonable prices ; \^ p'lit, 12c ; pint, 20c ; quart, 

 35c ; peck, $1,25 ; '2 bushel, S2 25,
