GLEANINGvS IN BEE CULTURE. 



87 



5 I A B C of Potato Culture, Terry** 35 



This is T. B. Terry's first and most masterly work. 



« I Barn Plans and Out-buildings* 90 



Canarj- birds, paper 50 



2 I Celerj- for Profit, by T. Greiner** 25 



The first really full and complete book on celery 



culture, at a moderate price, that we have had. It is 

 full of pictures, and the whole thing is made so plain 

 that a schoolboy ought to be able to grow paying 

 crops at once without any assistance except from the 

 book. 



15 I Draining for Profit and Health, Warring .30 



10 Fuller's Grape Culturist** 1 15 



8 I Domestic Economy, by I. H. Mayer, M. D.** ... 30 



This book ought to saveat least the money it co.sts, 

 each year, in every household. It was written by a 

 doctor, and one wlio has made the matter of domestic 

 economy a life study. The regular price of the book 

 is 81.00, "but by takinji a large lot of them we are en- 

 abled to make the price only 30 cents. 

 10 I Farming for Boys* 1 15 



This is one of Joseph Harris' happiest productions, 

 and it seems to me that it ought to make farm-life fas- 

 cinating to any boy who has any sort of taste for gar- 

 dening. 



Farming with Green Manures, postpaid** 90 



7 Farm, Gardening, and Seed-growing** 90 



12 Gardening for Pleasure, Henderson* 1 35 



12 Gardening for Profit** 1 35 



8 Gardening for Young and Old, Harris** 90 



This is Joseph Harris' best and happiest effort. Al- 

 though it goes over the .same ground occupied by Peter 

 Hender!;on, it particularly emphasizes thorough culti- 

 vation of the soil in preparing your ground ; and this 

 matter of adapting it to yo\ing people as well as old is 

 brought out in a mo.st hnppv vein. If your children 

 have any sort of fancy for gardening it will pay you to 

 make them a present of this book. It has 187 pages 

 and Hi engravings. 



3 I Grasses and Clovers, with Notes on Forage 



Plants 20 



This is by Henry A. Dreer, author of the book, 

 " Vegetables Under Glass" that has had such a large 

 sale of late. This little book tells how six tons of 

 grass has been grown to the acre, and gives much 

 other valuable matter. 



10 I Greenhouse construction, by Prof, Taft** 1 15 



This book is of recent publication, and is as full and 

 complete in regard to the building of all glass struc- 

 tures as is the next book in regard to their manage- 

 ment. Any one who builds even a small .structure for 

 plant-growing under glass will save the value of the 

 book by reading it carefully. 



12 I Greenhouse Management, by Prof. Taft** 1 15 



The book is a c mpanion to Greenhouse Construc- 

 tion. It is clear up to the times, contains 400 pages 

 and a great lot of beautiful half-tone engravings. A 

 large part of it is devoted to growing vegetables under 

 glass, especially Grand Rapids lettuce, as well as 

 fruits and flowers. The publi.'-her's price is $1..50; but 

 as we bought quite a lot of them we can make a spe- 

 cial price as above. 



5 I Garden and Farm Topics, Henderson** 60 



5 I Gregory on Cabbages, paper* 20 



5 I Gregory on Squashes, paper* 20 



5 I Gregory on Onions, paper* 20 



The above three books, by our friend Gregory, are 

 all valuable. The book on squashes especially is good 

 reading for almost anybody, whether they raise 

 squashes or not. It strikes at the very foundation of 

 success in almost any kind of business. 



I Handbook for I^umbermen 05 



5 I Home Pork-making; 125 pages, illustrated 40 



I think it will pay well for everybody who keeps a 

 pig to have this book. It tells all about the care of 

 the pig, with lots of pictures describing cheap pens, 

 appliances, all about butchering, the latest and most 

 approved short cuts; all about making the pickle, 

 baneling the meat, fixing a smoke-house (from the 

 cheapest barrel up to the most approved arrange- 

 ment); all about pig-troughs; how to keep them clean 

 with little labor; recipes for cooking pork in every 

 imaginable way, etc. Publisher's price is .50 cents, 

 ours as above. 



10 Household Conveniences 1 40 



15 How to Make the Garden Pay** 1 35 



2 How to Propagate and Grow Fruit, Green* 15 



2 Injurious Insects, Cook 10 



10 Irrigation for the Farm, Garden, and Orchard* 85 



By Stewart. This book, so far as 1 am informed, is 



almost the only work on this matter that is attracting 



so much interest, especially recently. Using water 



from springs, brooks, or windmills to take the place 

 of rain, during our great drouths, is the great problem 

 before us at the present day. The book has 274 pages 

 and 142 cuts. 



3 I Maple Sugar and the Sugar-bush** 32 



4 I Peabodv's Web.ster's Dictionary 10 



Over 30,000 words and 2.50 illustrations. 



5 I Manures ; How to Make and How to U.se 



Them; in paper co\,'ers 30 



6 I The .same in cloth covers 65 



I Nut Culturist, postpaid 1 50 



3 I Onions for Profit** 40 



Fully up to the times, and includes both the old 

 onion culture and the new method. The book is fully 

 illu.strated, and written with all the enthusiasm and 

 interest that characterizes its author, T. Greiner. 

 Even if one is not particularly interested in the bii~i- 

 ne.s,s, almost any person who picks up Greiner's books 

 will like to read them through. 



I Our Farming, by T. B. Terry** 1 iO 



In which he tells " how we have made a run-down 

 farm bring both profit and pleasure." 



If ordered by express or freight with other goods, 

 10c less. 



1 I Poultry for Pleasure and Profit.** 10 



8 Practical Floriculture, Henderson.* 1 10 



10 Profits in Poultry.* 75 



1 Silk and the Silkworm 10 



10 Small-Fruit Culturist, Fuller 1 10 



2 Sorghum. Stock Beets, Strawberries, and Ce- 



ment Floors. By Waldo F. Brown 08 



10 I Talks on Manures* 1 35 



10 1 The New Agriculture ; or, the Waters Led Cap- 



tive (a |1.50 book) 40 



11 I The New Egg-Farm, .Stcddard** 70 



This is an enlarged edition of the .TO-cent book pub- 

 lished 25 or 30 years ago by H. H. Stoddard. If I 

 could have only one poultry-book it would be the New 

 Egg-farm. This book is of special value to me be- 

 cause it not only discus.ses most emphatically the 

 value of ejtrercise to poultry, hut it touches on the value 

 of exercise to all other animated nature including hu- 

 manity. The book has over 300 pages and 150 illustra- 

 tions. It is entirely different from any other poultry- 

 book in the world, inasmuch as it discusses mechanic- 

 al contrivances so that all the varied operations of a 

 poultry-farm may be done as much as possible with 

 the aid of machinery. The regular price is $1 00, but 

 by buying a quantity we are able to furnish it at p' ice 

 given. 



2 I Treatise on the Horse and his Diseases 10 



5 I Tile Drainage, bj' W. I. Chamberlain 35 



Fully illustrated, containing every thing of impor- 

 tance clear up to the present date. 



The single chapter on digging ditches, with the il- 

 lustrations given by Prof. Chamberlain, should alone 

 make the book worth what it costs, to every one who 

 has occasion to lay ten rods or mere of tile. There is 

 as much science in digging as in doing almost anv 

 thing else ; and by following the plan directed in the 

 book, one man will often do as much as two men with- 

 out this knowledge. 

 5 I Tomato Culture ... 35 



In three parts. Part first —By J. W. Day, of Cry.'ital 

 Springs, Miss., treats of tomato culture in the Souih. 

 with some remarks by A. I. Root, adapting it to the 

 North. Part second.— By D. Cummins, of Conneaut., 

 O , treats of tomato culiure especially for canning- 

 factories Part third — By A. I. Root, treats of plant- 

 growing for market, and high-pressure gardening in 

 general. 



3 I Vegetables under Glass, by H. A. Dreer** 20 



3 I Vegetables in the Open ,\ir* 20 



This is a .sort of companion book to the one above. 

 Both books are most fully illu.strated, and are exceed- 

 ingly valuable, especially at the veiy low price at 

 which they are sold. The author, H. A. Dreer, has a 

 greenhouse of his own that covers one solid acre, and 

 he is pretty well conversant with all the arrangements 

 and plans for protecting stuff from the weather, and 

 afterward handling to the best advantage when the 

 weather will permit out of doors. 



3 I Winter Care of Hor.ses and Cattle 25 



This is friend Terry's second book in regard to farm 

 matters ; but it is so intimately connected with his po- 

 tato-book that it reads almost iiy.e a sequel to it. If you 

 have only a horseor a cow, I think it will pay you to 

 invest in a book. It has 44 pages and 4 cuts. 

 3 I Wood's Common Objects of the Microscope**. . 47 

 8 I What to Do and How to be Happy While doing 



It, by A. I. Root 65
