people as well as old is brought out in a most happy

 3 1 Grasses and Clovers, with Notes on Forage 



Plants -0 



This is by Henry A. Dreer, author of the book 

 '• Vegetables under Glass " that has had such a large 

 sale of late. This little book tells how six tons of 

 grass has been grown to the acre, and gives much 

 other valuable matter. 

 10| Greenhouse Construction, by Prof. Taft...l 15 



This book is of recent publication, and is as full 

 and complete in regard to the building of all glass 

 structures as is the next book in regard to their 

 management. Any one who builds even a small 

 structure for plant-growing under glass will save 

 the value of the book by reading it carefully. 

 12 1 Greenhouse Management, by Prof. Taft...l 15 



This book is a companion to Greenhouse Construc- 

 tion. It is clear up to the times, contains 400 pages, 

 and a great lot of beautiful haU-tone engravings. A 

 large part of it is devoted to growing vegetables 

 under glass, especially Grand Rapids lettuce, as well 

 as fruit and flowers. The publisher's price is $1.50, 

 but as we bought quite a lot of them we can make 

 a special price as above. 



5 1 Gregory on Cabbages, paper 20 



5 1 Gregory on Squashes, paper 20 



5 1 Gregory on Onions, paper 20 



The above three books, by our friend Gregory, are 

 all valuable. Tlie book on squashes especially is good 

 reading for almost anybody, whether they raise 

 squashes or not. It strikes at the very foundation of 

 success in almost any kind of business. 



I Handbook for Lumbermen 05 



6 1 Home Pork-making; 125 pages, illustrated. 40 



I think it will pay well for everybody who keeps 

 a pig to have this book. It tells all about the care 

 of the pig, with lots of pictures describing cheap 

 pens, appliances, all about butchering, the latest aud 

 most approved short cuts ; all about making the 

 pickle, barreling the meat, fixing a smoke-house 

 (from the cheapest barrel up to the most approved 

 arrangement); all about pig-troughs; how to keep 

 them clean with little labor ; recipes for cooking 

 pork in every imaginable way, etc. Pulblisher's price 

 is 50 cents, ours as above. 

 15 1 How to Make the Garden Pay 1 35 



By T. Greiner. Those who are interested in hot- 

 beds, cold-frames, cold green-houses, hothouses, or 

 glass structures of any kind for the growth of plants, 

 can not afford to be without the book. Publisher's 

 price, $2.00. 

 10| How to Keep Well and Live Long 90 



The above book by T. B. Terry is, in my opinion, 

 destined to relieve more pain, sickness, and death 

 than any other book in the whole world that has 

 ever come to my knowledge. This is pretty strong 

 language, I admit ; but since Mr. Terry commenced, 

 years ago, to urge the importance of pure air, pure 

 water, and a simple diet of good simple food in 

 moderate quantities, the whole wide world, doctors 

 ii|t(J|lded, seems to be gradually falling in with him. 

 of course, other good and wise men commenced a 

 similar crusade for better health long before Terry 

 did; but he seems to have a happy faculty of getting 

 hold of people and keeping their attention. After 

 you once start in with the book you will be pretty 

 sure to read it to the end, and you will ever after be 

 a better and a happier man or woman for having 

 read it. We have a special low price for clubbing 

 with Gleanings — that is, both for $1.50. If you 

 have already paid for Gleanings a year or more' in 

 advance vou can have the book for 75 cents post- 

 paid. Since it first came out, only a short time ago, 

 we have sold nearly 1000 copies.

3 1 Onions for Profit 40 



Fully up to the times, and includes both the old 

 onion culture and the new method. The book is fully 

 illustrated, and wi-itten with all the enthusiasm; and 

 even if one is not particularly interested in the busi- 

 ness, almost any person who picks up Greiner's 

 books will like to read them through.

2 1 Experiments in Farming, by Waldo F. Brown 08 



This little book ought to be worth its cost for what 



is said on each of the four different subjects; and 



the chapter on cement floors may be worth many 



ollars to anybody who has to use cement for floors, 



walks, or any thing else. In fact, if you follow the 



exceedingly plain directions you may save several 



itiollars on one single job ; and not only that, get a 



etter cement floor than the average mason will make. 



a0| Our Farming, by T. B. Terry 75 



I Same, paper cover, postpaid 50 



In which he tells " how we have made a run-down 

 farm bring both profit and pleasure." 



If ordered by express or freight with other goods, 

 10c less. 



J0| Talks on Manures 1 35 



By Joseph Harris. Written in conversational style, 

 which makes it very interesting reading. It covers 

 the subject very completely ; contains numerous anal- 

 yses of manures and comparative tables. The use of 

 technical language is avoided, which makes the book 

 of greatest value to the practical farmer. A book of 

 366 pages, nicely bound in cloth. 



10| The Dollar Hen 90 



The above book will be clubbed with Gleanings 

 for one year at $1.50 ; or if you have already sub- 

 scribed a year or more in advance you can have the 

 book postpaid for 75 cents. 



My opinion is, that " The Dollar Hen " is not only 

 one of the best books on poultry that we have at 

 the present time, but it is worth nearly as much as 

 a dozen other books. Perhaps this is extreme, but 

 we have very few books that are strictly up-to-date, 

 and still fewer that pitch right into the superstitions 

 and humbugs now scattered all through our poultry 

 books and journals. 



5 1 The New Rhubarb Culture 40 



Whenever apples are worth a dollar a bushel or 

 more, winter-grown rhubarb should pay big. It does 

 not require an expensive house nor costly appliances. 

 Any sort of cellar where it will not freeze is all right 

 for it ; and the small amount of heat necessary to 

 force the rhubarb costs very little. The book is nicely 

 bound in cloth, full of illustrations, mostly photos 

 from real work, 130 pages. Every market-gardener 

 should have this book for the lessons taught indi- 

 rectly in regard to forcing other crops besides rhu- 

 barb. Publisher's price 50c. 



5 1 Tile Drainage, by W. I. Chamberlain 35 



Fully illustrated, containinng every thing of im- 

 portance clear up to the present date. 



The single chapter on digging ditches, with the il- 

 ustrations given by Prof. Chamberlain, should alone 

 make the book worth what it costs to every one who 

 has occasion to lay ten rods or more of tile. There is 

 s much science in digging as in doing almost any 

 thing else; and by following the plan directed in the 

 book, one man will often do as much as two men 

 without this knowledge. 



5 1 Tomato Culture 35 



In three parts. Part first. — By J. W. Day, of 

 Crystal Springs, Miss., treats of tomato culture in 

 the South with some remarks by A. I. Root adapting 

 t to the North. Part second. — By D. Cummins, of 

 Couneaut, 0., treats of tomato culture especially for 

 anning factories. Part third. — By A. I. Root, treats 

 of plant-growing for market and high-pressure gar- 

 dening in general. 



3 1 Winter Care of Horses and Cattle 25 



Tliis is friend Terry's second book in regard to 

 arm matters ; but it is so intimately connected with 

 lis potato-book that it reads almost like a sequel to 

 it. It you have only a horse or a cow, I think it will 

 pay you to invest in a book. It has 44 pages and 4 

 cuts. 

 8 1 What to Do, and How to be Happy while 



Doing It 65 



The above book by A. I. Root is a compilation of 

 papers published in Gleanings in Bee Culture, in 

 1886, '7, and '8. It is intended to solve the problem 

 •f finding occupation for those scattered over our 

 and out of employment. The suggestions are prin- 

 cipally about finding employment about your own 

 homes. The book is mainly upon market-gardening, 

 iruit-culture, poultry -raising, etc. Illustrated, 188 

 I'ages; cloth.
