BUSHEL POTATO-BOXES. 



CALVANIZEDiBOUND. 



(TERRY'S). 



These are made of 

 basswood, bound with 

 galvanized iron. The 

 galvanized iron gives 

 Strength, and the 

 basswood strength 

 and lightness. These 

 hold exactly a bushel 

 when level full, and 

 may be piled one on 

 top of another. Al- 

 though they are made especially for potatoes, they 

 can be used for fruit, vegetables, picking- up stones 

 on the farm, and a thousand other purposes. When 

 piled one above the other, they protect the contents 

 from the sun and rain; and from their shape a 

 great many more bushels can be set into a wagon 

 than where baskets are used. They are also much 

 more substantial than baskets. 

 Price, nailed up, 25 c each; 10, $2.25; 100, #20.00. 

 In the flat, including nails and galvanized iron, 

 $ 1.75 for 10; 100, #16.50; 1000, #150. 



ST.ATTED POTATO-BOX 



As the pieces of 

 which the above 

 are made are 

 mostly from rem- 

 nants of basswood 

 used in making 

 sections, we can 

 furnish tbem nail- 

 ed up for 20 ceuts 

 each; 10 for #1.85; 

 100, #1«.00. Materi-

 cluding nails, in 

 packages of 12 

 boxes each, at

KIND WORDS FROM OUR CUSTOMERS. 



I received the extractor June 12, in good condi- 

 tion, and am much pleased with it. J. M. Smith. 

 Perkiomenville, Pa., June 18, 1889. 



The plants are received. I never saw such a nice 

 way to pack them for shipping. We set them out, 

 and it being wet they not even wilted. They were 

 much larger than I expected to see, and good count; 

 came quick, as I got them Thursday night, and sent 

 Monday. R. Gosling. 



Chase, Lake Co., Mich., June 1, 1S89. 



The tomato-plants you sent me came all right. It 

 was a surprise for uie to see that plants can be 

 sent by mail so sale. They are as nice as if just 

 taken out of the seed-bed. Just think of it! They 

 were five inches larger than I thought they would 

 be. Thanks for the nice packing. H.Wii.mno.

SWEET POTATO PLANTS AM) THE DOVETAILED 

 HIVE. 



Those sweet potato plants came through in the 

 best shape ol any I ever received from any grower 

 —all alive, growing finely. 



My Dovetailed hives came yesterday. I got them 

 home last night. I could not goto bed till 1 had one 

 all complete. 1 am well pleased with them. I think 

 they are stronger than any other hive I ever saw. 

 and I like them nearly as well as my own make, and 

 perhaps F shall like them better after using them 

 one summer. 1'. !>• Snyder.
