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 

 illustrated, and written will nil the enthusiasm and 

 interest that characterizes its author, T. Greiner. 

 Even if one is not particularly interested in the bu.si- 

 ness, almo.st anv person who picks up Greiner's books 

 will like to read them through. 



I Our Farming, by T. B. Terry** 1 50 



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.

11 I The New tgg-Farm, Stcddard** 70 



This is an enlarged edition of the 50-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 discusses most emphatically the 

 value oi exejcise to poultry, but it touches on the value 

 of exercise to all other animated nature inc'uding hu- 

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

 tions. It is entirely different from anj' other poultry- 

 book in the world, inasmuch as it di.scusses mechanic- 

 al contrivances so that all the varied operations of a 

 poultry-farm ma}' be done as much as possible with 

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

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

 given. 



2 I Treati.se on the Horse and his Diseases. 

 5 I Tile Drainage, by W. I. Chamberlain. 



10 



35 



Fully illustrated, containing every thing of impor- 

 tance clear i:p 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 co.sts, to everj- one who 

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

 as much science in digging as in doing almost any 

 thing else ; and bv 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 Crj'Stal 

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

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

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

 O , treats of timiat'> culture 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 Air* 20 



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

 Both books are mo.st 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 Horses and Cattle 25 



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

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

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

 have onlj' 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 



THE A. I. ROOT CO,, MEDINA, O. 



The A B C of Bee Culture 



1900 Edition. 500 Pages. 

 The only Encyclopaedia on Bees. 



The last edition, 5000 copies, issued in October, 1899, was exhausted in the short space of 

 one year. Even before the edition was out of the press, 1500 copies had been sold; and before 

 thirty days had passed, 1000 more copies were taken. We immediately set to work to print a 

 new edition. While the edition of 1899 was more thoroughly revised than any previous one, 

 that for 1900 has received even larger additions of new matter, so that the book from beginning 

 to end is almost entirely new. It now contains 500 double-column pages. It has been most 

 carefully gone over by Dr. C. C. Miller, who has prepared a new set of comments, and by Prof. 

 A. J. Cook, of Pomona College, Cal. As before, old subjects have been rewritten. Descrip- 

 tions of obsolete methods have in all cases been stricken out, and the very latest put in their 

 place. 



This 1900 Edition Marks the 75th Thousand. 



While the book has been enlarged, and hundreds of pages have been rewritten and revised, 

 the price will be the same as before : $1.20 postpaid, or $1.00 by express or freight with other 

 goods ; or when sent with our journal, Gleanings in Bee Culture, which is a constant ap- 

 pendix to the ABC book, a journal beautifully printed and illustrated, 42 pages, for the very 

 low price of $1.75 for the two. For quantity of up-to-date bee-literature there is nothing else 

 offered at this low price.
