GLEANIN(iS IN BEE CQLTUKE. 



Nov, 15 



There have been several inquiries about eucalyptus 

 seed lately, as to where it could be obtained. We 

 have received notice that it will be furnished by C. H. 

 W. Weber, Cincinnati, O., after November. 



NO. 25 JARS FOR HONEY. 



We regret to be obliged to announce that our stock 

 of No. 25 lib. honey-jars is exhausted, and the fac- 

 tory which has been supplying us is having trouble 

 with their help, so they can not tell us when we may 

 expect more. We ordered a carload last May. of which 

 we have recived less than half. We are doing what 

 we can to get them elsewhere. We still have some 20 

 to 25 gross of No. 143, which is the same style jar hold- 

 ing 14 oz., and can get more of this size promptly, and 

 the price is 25 cents per gross less than our No. 25. 

 We are also prepared to furnish promptly the new 

 jars shown in last is.sue.

HOME AGAIN. 



Here I am at my old home in Medina (for the win- 

 ter) answering the accumulated letters as fast as I 

 can. I am strong and well, and ready to help wher- 

 ever I can do most good. 



BASSWOOD-TREES FOR FALL PLANTING. 



Now is the time to plant them out, and basswood. 

 trees very seldom fail either fall or spring. We have- 

 a very nice stock of trees that we can furnish as follows: 



Per 10 Per 1(X) 

 One foot and under, each, 05 .30 $2 00 



The same postpaid by mail, .08 .35 2.25 



Trees one to five feet, each, .10 .75 5.00 



These last should be sent by express, but we can 

 send the small sizes, say one to three feet, bv mail by 

 adding one-half more than the above prices for post- 

 age. Above trees are all growing on our own grounds, 

 and can be sent by return mail or express. 



r.RAND RAPIDS LEITUCE SICED. 



Our two bushel bagful of that extra strain of G and 

 Rapids lettuce seed (grown expressly for us), has been 

 on hand for some time, but is now rapidly going off. 

 If yon haven't got your plants going for raising let- 

 luce under glass, do not lose a day in getting some 

 seed in the ground, or started in some way; even boxes 

 in the house will give you plants enough to start on a 

 small scale. See notice on page 784. Sept 1^ Ounce, 

 5 cents; 1 lb.. .50 cents; 5 lbs.. $2 00 By mail li> cents 

 extra for packing and postage. Graiid Rapids lettuce 

 grown under glass seems to be a staple article ever>- 

 wher- , ani a cr p can be secured in any locality iu 

 forci g-beds in the greenhouses, under liot bed sashes, 

 etc. A good many limes the lettuce grown in a single 

 .season will pay for the entire plant, greenhouse, hot- 

 beds, cold-frames, etc. 



SEED POTATOES FOR 1903. 



Our crop of something over 1000 bushels is not only 

 all dug but is here in Medina in our potato-cellar.s, 

 and is being sorted as rapidly as we can get at it. 

 Since digging them all I have changed my mind in re- 

 gard to some of the varieties. With many I have been 

 agreeablj- surprised, and with a very few disappoint- 

 ed. King of Michigan, grown here in our Medina 

 soil, was the cleanest and handsomest potato I ever 

 saw; and I expected on our light Michigan land it 

 would be fully as good if not better. After digging I 

 was disappointed in finding it not as hand -ome as here 

 in Ohio — more irregular potatoes. The j'ield was not 

 as large as I expected, and, lastly, there were a good 

 many small ones They were grown side by side of 

 the Carman. The Carman gave us a larger j^ield than 

 the King of Michigan, fully as handsome in shape, 

 and there was .scarcely a potato in the lot too small for 

 table use. They were all large, and some of them too- 

 large. I planted them clos-e in order to keep the size 

 down but next season I am going; to plant Iheiii i loser 

 still. The Carman, however, is not up in quality with 

 the King of Michigan. Both were killed by a frost 

 when they were growing quite thriftily. On this ac- 

 count I have put the King of Michigan at $3 .50 instead 

 of $5 00 per barrel. Perhaps I should say that on 

 friend Hilberl's place, a mile awa\ , he thought the 

 King of Michigan \ ielded a little better than the Car- 

 man. 1 he shape is rather better than mine, but there 

 were too many small ones. The table below will give 

 prices.

 writing, Nov. 15, we are sold out of seconds of Six 

 Weeks, Early Ohio, Bovee, Carman No. 3, Sir Walter,

A barrel can be made up of as many varieties as you 

 choose, and they will be at barrel prices if you have a 

 whole barrel or more. We will ship this fall, where 

 wanted, up to Dec. 15; or we will keep them safely in 

 our potato-cellars until next April if you prefer. Po- 

 tatoes that are w inted in the South we will ship later 

 than the dale given above; and we will guarantee pro- 

 tection from frost by giving them extra care in pack- 

 ing in paper and fine sawdust. But as this extra pack- 

 ing incurs extra Itibor and risk, we shall have to ask a 

 lit le more, which additional charge will depend on 

 where they are to go, and in what season of the year 

 you want them. I^et me know what you want, and 

 when you want to plant them, and we will do the best 

 we can in way of prices.
