green's seeds. 

 This is the title of a new catalog which we have just 

 printed for E. C. Green & Son, of Medina O., who suc- 

 ceeded to the garden-seed department of The A. I. 

 Root Co. several years ago. They would be pleased 

 to mail this catalog to any reader of this journal who 

 will send a request for it. These enterprising seeds- 

 men have originated a new tomato of such value that 

 one of the big seed-houses of Philadelphia sent their 

 tomato expert to Medina to examine it, and was so 

 well pleased that he paid a big price for all the seed 

 they had to spare. If in need of garden seeds, send to 

 E. C. Green & Son. and, as a favor to us, mention that 

 you saw it in this journal. 



clover seeds. 

 There has been a sharp advance in clover seed, so 

 that the best price at which we can offer Medium 

 Mammoth or alsike seed, choice, is $12.00 per bushel ; 

 half bushel, $6.25; peck, $3.25; per Id., 23 cts.; by mail, 

 32 cts. per lb. Alfalfa seed will have to go at the same 

 price. Medium grades of seed may be furnished a 

 little cheaper. Write for sample and price if inter- 

 ested. Strange as it may seem, white-clover seed is 

 now cheaper than other kinds, and can still be fur- 

 nished at $10.00 per bushel; $5 25 per half bushel; $2,75 

 per peck ; 20 cts. per lb. Crimson or scarlet clover 

 will be furnished at $8.75 per bag of two bushels; $4.50 

 per bushel: half bushel, $2.40; peck, $1.25; lib., 10 cts.; 

 by mail, 20 cts. UnhuUed white-sweet-clover seed at 

 $11.00 per 100 lbs.; $3.00 for 25 lbs.; $1.30 for 10 lbs.; 15 

 cts. per lb.; by mail, 25 cts. Hulled seed, when we 

 have it, 7 cts. per lb. extra. 



THE ALEXANDER BEE-VEIL. 



We have secured, for making a bee-veil of wire 

 cloth, a special weave of cloth 

 having 8 meshes to the inch, 

 and No 32 wire painted black. 

 Ordinary window-screen cloth 

 is of the same size of wire, and 

 12 to 14 meshes to the inch. 

 This special cloth is. therefore, 

 more transparent, and obstructs 

 the vision less, than any other 

 cloth we were ever able to se- 

 cure. One objection to a veil of 

 this kind is its bulk and the 

 difficulty of transporting it, ei- 

 ther by mail or when packed 

 with other goods. We have 

 overcome this one objection by 

 making it with an open seam from the crown to the 

 bottom of the skirt. Eight small safety-pins are in- 

 cluded to pin up this seam when you receive it, or 

 you may prefer to sew it up. The veil is rolled up so 

 as to be placed in a box 3 x 3 x 12 inches so that it can 

 be mailed safely for 13 cents postage, or packed with 

 other goods to go by freight Price, complete, 60 cts. 

 By mail, 72 cts. Special wire cloth for veil furnished 

 at 6 cts. per foot or piece for a veil at 15 cts. ; by mail, 2 

 cts. a foot extra, or 20 cts. postpaid for a veil-piece 10 

 X 33 inches, having edges folded ready to sew on the 

 cloth parts. 



COLD-FRAME OR HOT-BED SASH. 



We are receiving some nice orders for these sash, 

 and we believe that, if more of the truck-gardeners 

 understood how good they are, and the low price at 

 which they may be had, we should be swamped with 

 orders. We have not seen as low prices quoted by 

 anybody else, not even the cut-rate mail-order houses, 

 as we are making on these. Some of our readers may
