MISCELLANEOUS HAND-BOOKS. 



5 1 A C B of Carp Culture, bv Geo. Finley ... 25 

 7| A B C of Potato Culture, Terry. New edi- 

 tion, revised and enlarged; paper, 50c; 

 cloth, 75c; mail, 85c. 

 This is T. B. Terry's first and most masterly work. 

 It has really made a revolution in potato-growing, 

 and has been reprinted in several foreign languages. 

 By getting the ground in proper condition to grow 

 great crops of clover, and turning this under, Terry 

 succeeded, not only in getting viore potatoes, but 

 even better ones, and in producing them at less ex- 

 pense also, than by any plan or system before the 

 time he began his experiments in 1885. The book 

 has already passed through three editions of many 

 thousands. It not only includes potato-growing in 

 the United States, but in Bermuda, the Island of 

 Jersey, and other warmer parts of the world where 

 " new potatoes " are raised for the express purpose 

 of getting the high prices in the cities during Janu- 

 ary, February, and March. The book also gives 

 special attention to the diliferent and best methods 

 for preserving and keeping seed potatoes in the very 

 best condition to plant in all these different localities.

5| A B C of Strawberry Culture, by T. B. Terry. 

 New edition, revised and enlarged; paper, 45c; 

 cloth, 68c; by mail, 75c. 



After Terry's potato-book had obtained such a 

 kind reception from farmers, market-gardeners, and 

 others, he was induced to give his plan of growing 

 strawberries, as he did potatoes, by plowing under 

 great crops of clover, and, like the potato-book, liis 

 writings gave a new impetus to strawberry- growing; 

 in fact, some of his pupils declare that, aside from 

 the picking, they can grow strawberries almost as 

 cheaply per bushel as potatoes. By following Terry's 

 teachings, thousands of people have not only been 

 able to give their families but the whole wide world 

 better strawberries, and more of them, than they 

 ever saw before. 



6| Asparagus Culture 40 



6 1 Alfalfa Culture 40 



I Barn Plans and Out-buildings 90 



2 1 Celery for Profit, by T. Greiner 25 



The first really full and complete book on celery 

 culture, at a moderate price, that we have had. It is 

 full of pictures, and the whole thing is made so 

 plain that a schoolboy ought to be able to grow 

 paying crops at once without any assistance except 

 from the book. 

 10 1 Fruit Harvesting, Storing, Marketing, etc. . 75 



It has been well said that it is an easier matter 

 to grow stuff thau to sell it at a proper price after 

 it is grown; and many men fail, not because they 

 lue inexpert in getting a crop, but because they do 

 not know how to sell their crops to the best advan- 

 tage. This is the first book of the kind we have had 

 as an aid in selling. It not only tells all about 

 picking, sorting, and packing, but gives all the best 

 methods for storing for one or two days or a longer 

 time. It also tells about evaporating and canning 

 when there is a glut in the market. It discusses 

 fruit packages and commission dealers, and even 

 takes in cold storage. It is a new book of 250 pages, 

 full of illustrations. Publisher's price. $1.00. 



I Farming with Green Manures, postpaid. . 90 



This book was written several years ago ; but 

 since competent labor has got to be so expensive and 

 liiU'd to get many farmers are beginning to find they 

 can turn under various green crops much cheaper 

 tlian to buy stable manure and haul and spread it — 

 clieaper, in fact, than they can buy Tertilizers. This 

 book mentions almost all plants used for plowing 

 under, and gives the value compared with stable 

 manure. Some of the claims seem extravagant, but 

 we are at present getting goods crops and keeping 

 up the fertility by a similar treatment, on our ten- 

 acre farm. 

 7 1 Farm, Gardening and Seed-growing 90 



10| Fuller's Grape Culturist 1 15 



5 1 Garden and Farm Topics, Henderson 60 



12] Gardening for Pleasure, Henderson 1 10 



While " Gardening for Profit " is written with 

 a view of making gardening pay, it touches a good 

 deal on the pleasure part, and " Gardening for 

 Pleasure " takes up this matter of beautifying your 

 homes and improving your grounds, wthout the 

 special point in view of making money out of it. I 

 think most of > ou will need this if you get " Garden- 

 ing for Profit." This work has 246 pages and 134 

 illustrations. (Retail price $2.00.) 

 12 1 Gardening for Profit 1 10 



This is a late revision of Peter Henderson's cele- 

 brated work. Nothing that has ever before been put 

 in print has done so much toward marking market- 

 gardening a science and a fascinating industry. 

 Peter Henderson stands at the head, without ques- 

 tion, although we have many other books on these 

 rural employments. If you can get but one book, let 

 it be the above. It has 376 pages and 138 cuts. 

 (Retail price $2.00.) 

 8 1 Gardening for Young and Old, Harris 90 



This is Joseph Harris' best and happiest effort. 

 Although it goes over the same ground occupied by 

 Peter Henderson, it particularly emphasizes thor- 

 ough cultivation of the soil in preparing your 

 ground, and this matter of adapting it to young
