MONEY IN SM.^LL FRUITS. 



We are pleased to have again in our columns the usual fall 

 announcement of W. N. Scarif, of New Carlisle, Ohio. He is 

 one uf the old reliable kind, and we are glad to see him suc- 

 cesslul. Mr. Scarf? is himself a practical bee-keeper, and a 

 farmer on a large scale, using 800 acres of valuable Ohio soil. 

 He appeals very strongly to the small cultivator who desires to 

 secure a large return from a small piece of land. To do this he 

 recommends the culture of berries, which yield heavily and 

 give large returns in money, but require much attention which 

 the average farmer can not give. Probably nothing else can 

 be suggested which will dovetail so well with bee-keeping, 

 and we know that many are pursuing this plan. In most sec- 

 tions of this country the demand for berries is never fully satis- 

 fied, and hence we feel that Mr. Scaiff is pursuing a safe 

 course when he advises bee-keepers to engage in the culture of 

 berries. From long experience he knows the varieties which 

 are profitable, and his advice should certainly' be valuable to 

 the inexperienced. 



A HANDY TOOL. 



If you are interested in potato culture, as a good many of 

 Gleanings' readers are, you will doubtless be interested in 

 •the advertisement of The Potato Implement Co., of Traverse 

 City, Mich. We believe their digger is a very useful inven- 

 tion in connection with what is usually a very laborious job — 

 digging potatoes by hand. The makers claim for it that it 

 does not scar or crush the potatoes, and yet it finds every tuber 

 in the row. The machine diggers are likely to fail in both 

 particulars, so that there is economy in using the Acme hand 

 digger. We believe the manufacturers are sincere in making 

 the offer to refund promptly the money to all dissatisfied cus- 

 tomers. They are certainly reliable or their advertisement 

 would not appear here. Weighing the pros and cons of the 

 question, we certainly think that any one of our readers will 

 be perfectly sale in ordering one of these tools if he has any 

 potatoes to dig. 



STORRS AND HARRISON. 



The above celebrated firm is one of the institutions of Ohio. 

 It is known far and wide throughout America as a headquarters 

 for good nursery stock such as trees, plants, bulbs, and seeds, 

 and also the supplies connected therewith. They have been 

 54 years in business, and actually use 1200 acres of land in 

 their nursery work at Painesville, Ohio. It is needless to say 

 that we are proud of the fact that their usual fall announce- 

 ment appears on p. 1088. They keep a full line of every thing 

 pertaining ro the orchard, vineyard, lawn, park, street, garden, 

 and greenhouse. The senior member of this firm, Mr. A. I. 

 Root, has bought considerable quantities of nursery stock from 

 this firm in times past, and always with perfect satisfaction. 

 Any one who has had much experience with nursery stock 

 knows how important it is to deal with a good reliable firm. 

 There are many of the other kind, hence the importance of 

 the foregoing testimony. 



The California Fruit Products Co., of Colton, Cal., will 

 mail three colored souvenir post cards free to any one who will 

 write them, and also to any friends whose names and addresses 

 you may inclose.
