HOT-BED SASH. 



This is the time of year to be getting ready for the 

 early spring vegetables by providing hot-bed sash. 

 We call attention to our choice cypress sash, which 

 are made 3 ft. 4 in. by 6 ft. for four rows of eight- 

 inch glass let into grooves, or rabbeted. Unless other- 

 wise specified, we furnish grooved sash. A single 

 one, K. D., $1.00; 5 of the same in a crate, $4.75; 

 10 for $9.00. If put together, add 10 cts. each; and

 same, $2.80 per box of 90 lights; 5 boxes at $2.60; 

 10 boxes or over at $2.50. 



SWEET-CLOVER SEED. 



The demand for this seed is remarkably good, 

 especially in Iowa, Kansas, and Oklahoma, where 

 its value is best known. The supply of seed bids 

 fair to be somewhat short of the demand again this 

 year. Because the seed continues to ripen for some 

 weeks, the question of saving the seed is a difficult 

 one, and those new in the business are apt to find 

 the greater portion shelled off before they get ready 

 to harvest it. What looks like a fine crop of seed 

 early in the season may dwindle to small proportions 

 by the time it is saved and hulled. We are prepared 

 to supply choice seed at the following prices:

A. I. Root 



The yam referred to on page 912 is, I find, grown 

 on the farm owned by L. B. Yarn, proprietor of 

 Hotel Varnada, and he is selling them at 40 cts. a 

 peck, or $1.00 per bushel. We are just now happy 

 over a peck I have received by parcel post. I do not 

 yet know the name of this particular yam. 



DASHEEN TUBERS FOR FLORIDA AND OTHER SUBSCRIB- 

 ERS IN THE SOUTH. 



All subscribers in Florida, or others so far south 

 as to be out of danger from frost while in the mail, 

 may have their dasheen tubers mailed from Braden- 

 town at once, if they will send their names to me 

 here in Bradentown. All who have paid up on 

 Gleanings one year or more are entitled to two 

 small tubers that may be planted at once if you will 

 protect them if frost should come. All in the North 

 sliould send to Medina, Ohio. My impression is the 

 dried tubers are not likely to be injured by cold while 

 in the mail-bags anywhere; but this remains to be 

 proven. 



Periodicals and " Sittlichl<elt." 



Many of our young people know nothing of some 

 of the best, most fascinating reading in the world, 

 because in their leisure for reading the books and 

 periodicals closest at hand are time-wasters or worse. 

 In this connection, the following editorial from The 

 Youth's Companion is timely.: 



In the address that Lord Haldane gave before the 

 American Bar Association a few weeks ago, he had 

 much to say about Sittlichkeit. The word is Ger- 

 man, and in English has no exact equivalent; but 

 it means the common body of beliefs, standards, and 

 ideals that represent the ethical attainment of a 

 people. Lord Haldane describes it as governing a 

 race far more intimately than law, which, indeed, is 

 merely the expressison of a part of it; and far more 

 powerfully than individual conscience, of which, in- 

 deed, after (Jod, it is the chief prop and inspiration.
