SEED rOTATOES FOR SPRING OF 1902. 



Prices on seed potatoes for planting in 1902 will be 

 as follows : }.< peck, 25 cts. ; peck, 40 cts.; ]< bushel, 75 

 •cts.; bushel, SI. 40; hurrel, $100 Small seconds, half 

 the above prices. I have been watching quotations 

 for several months, and no reliable seeiisnian has made 

 any better prices. We will ship them (when they go 

 south (where wanted) before Aur 1, 1902), at the above 

 figures ; or we will keep them safely for you till next 

 spring in our specially arrange i potato-cellar. We 

 can furnish, at the above prices, White Bliss Triumph, 

 Eii'lv Ohio, Bovee, Sir ^< alter Raleigh, New Russet, 

 and Craig. As our .'upply of many is limited, you had 

 better order at once if you want them. Seed potatoes, 

 especially the earlies and extra earlies, are likely to be 

 away up before another spring. Our seconds will 

 probably all be gone very soon at the above low fig- 

 ures Thes- seconds are not all small potatoes. In 

 sorting we have put badly shaped and scabby potatoes 

 into trie seconds. Somt of these latter are of very 

 good size, and will be cheaper for table use at the 

 pric • (*2. 00 per barrel), than any thing else you can 

 probably get in the market. Of course, it is a little 

 more work to prepare them for the table : and a part 

 of tliem will be rather small for table use ; but at the 

 above price you are to take them as they come— <?// po- 

 tatoes not strictly fit for A No. 1.* 



OTHER POTATOES IN SMALL QUANTITIES. 



We can furnish the following kinds in small quanti- 

 ties, say not to exceed a peck or half a bushel : Early 

 Trumbull, New Queen, Lee's Favorite. Freeman, .State 

 of Maine, Manle's Commercial, Carman No. 3, White 

 Mammoth, Harly Michigan. 



Any of the above potatoes will be furnished in very 

 small quantities at 5 cts. per lb., or by mail at -15 cents 

 per lb. or 3 lbs. for 40 cts. Potatoes for premiums can 

 be sent by mail, but 10 els. per lb. extra for postage 

 and packing will be required. 



POTATOES AND GARDEN SEEDS TO BE GIVEN AWAY 



Everybody who sends 8100 for Gleanings (asWine 

 for no oth r piemiuin) may have 25 cents' worth of 

 potatoes, se ds. etc.. providing he mentions it at ihe 

 tun he sends in the money ; and every subscriber 

 who sends us 81.00 fcr a new subscriber so that Glf'an- 

 iNGS may go into some neighborhood or family where 

 it has not been before, may have 50 cent--' worth of po- 

 tatoes, seeds, etc.; but you must pay all postage, ex- 

 press, or freight on your premiums. We can give 

 away potatoes, etc., but we can not give away postage 

 ."-tanips. 



grand rapids lettuce seed — TWO BUSHEL 

 BAGFUL. 



Some of our friends doubtless remember when I 

 paid $50 for a single half-pound of this lettuce seed. 

 Well, I do not know that I ever invested I-50 in my life 



* Mr. E. T. Flanagan, of Belleville, III., had two barreN 

 of these seconds, and was so well pleased with what we put 

 in as .seconds he wrote : " If these are what yon call SECONDS, 

 I wonder what the firsts are like." 



where it did more good to the woi 1(1 in general than 

 when I scattered that half-pound of seed in little 

 pinches all over the face of the earth During all 

 these years that have passed, the industr}' of growing 

 Grand Rapids lettuce under glass has been .steadily in- 

 creasing ; and I do not know of any venture in this di- 

 rection that has ever proved to be a failure. )nst now 

 we have a two-bushel bag of seed grown expressly for 

 us in California. We have the plants now growing in 

 the greenhouse, and it is certainly the finest strain of 

 seed I ever got hold of — that is, by the quantity. If you 

 wish to get lettuce out .so as to take in the big spring 

 market, now is the time to sow the seed. You can 

 start the plants in the house, in shallow boxes, if you 

 can not do any better. Put them in cold frames well 

 protected ; or, better still, put in some stable manure, 

 and get a little bottom heat if you wish to push them 

 along. Hot beds and cold-frames are e-pt cially adapt- 

 ed to this lettuce ; and if you have not gla.ss, a great 

 deal can be done with cotton cloth, as described in the 

 tomato book. Of course, a little greenhouse (or a big 

 one) is the nicest way to work it ; and just now I do 

 not know of any prettier or more interesting business 

 in the world than growing Grand R^tpids lettuce in a 

 greenhouse. With very rich soil the seed will come 

 up in four days ; and in four days more it may be 

 transplanted so as to give the little plants more room ; 

 that is, you can do this where tv^ry thing is just right. 

 The price of this extra nice seed "is, 1 oz., 5 cts.; lib., 

 50 cts ; 5 lbs., S2. By mail, 10 cents per lb extra. We 

 shall be glad to send you the seed by return mail.

march's improved MATTITUCK ERFURT CAULI- 

 FLOWER SEED. 



Mr. Root :— Last year I got a small quantity of cauliflow- 

 er seed from you that did e.xtra well for me. I have forgot- 

 ten its name, but you said you had but a limited amount of 

 the seed. If you know what it was from this, and have any 

 more of the same strain this season, please send prices.
