The hundreds of Gleanings readers who are 

 regular customers of the above well known seed- 

 house will be pleased to learn of a recent change. 

 The entire seed business of E. C. Green Sc Son 

 has been consolidated with that of the Wooster 

 Nursery Co., the junior member, Stephen N. Green, becoming Secretary- 

 Treasurer of the Nursery Company, devoting his entire time to that work. 

 The change detracts absolutely nothing from the old firm, but 

 rather increases their facilities greatly. Better office, greenhouse, and 

 growing accommodations are already in operation. 



E. C. Green & Son, as successors to the seed business of Mr. A. L 



Root, need no introduction in this magazine. That they have pleased 



in quality and price is proved by their rapidly increased trade. The 



nursery, incorporating as it does the seed and tree trade, is bound to 



win confidence of Gleanings readers because of its unexcelled location and management. It owns 



and operates a large nursery (adjoining the grounds of the Ohio Agricultural Experiment Station), 



devoted exclusively to high-class nursery and seed-growing, operated upon the most modern methods. 



Our catalog will tell the whole story. Better send for a copy before you forget it. 



Our Catalog 



now ready. Tells about our seeds 



A New Tomato. 



trated with lovely half-tones from original photographs. A beau- 

 tiful cover design. Seeds for the garden, honey-plants; fruit, 

 forest, and ornamental trees fully described. We aim to tell the 

 plain truth, both in words and cuts. We explain why our stock 

 is superior to others. Read the offer in next column and act 

 quickly. 



We have just fifty package 

 of a iiiie new tomato which 

 will go to the first fifty replies to this ad. Mr. Green sold last 

 season a new tomato to a Philadelphia seedhouse that brought 

 the highest price ever actually paid for a novelty of this kind. 

 The seed we will send you, you may rest assured, is worth trying. 

 Better write us a postal to-day for our catalog, and get a package 

 of this seed free.
