How to Propasalr anil (;roH' Fruit, 



by Charles A. (ireen, contains over .'lO illus- 

 trations and two colored fruit plates. A 

 ti-t-page book, price 25 cents. For sale at 

 this olBce. 



Previous to the publication of this book, 

 thei-e was no work on tlie jiroiiagation ot 

 small and large fruits which could be pui-- 

 chased for less than $:t.OO, thei-efore the 

 masses have been without a guide in this 

 important branch of fruit-growing, and 

 kuow very little about propagating. The 

 price of the book places it within the reach 

 of all. Further than this, the book gives the 

 latest and most approved methods found in 

 no other publication. 



This book tells How to prop.^oate Stiaw- 

 berries, black raspberries, red raspberries, 

 blackberries, currants, gooseberries, giapes, 

 quince, peach, apricot, plum, cherry, pear 

 and apple; also ck.vekai, hi-i.es for propa- 

 gation, with illustratious showing how to 

 bud, how to graft, how to propagate from 

 layers, stools, inarching, with full instruc- 

 tions for grafting the grape. It tells how to 

 lay out a garden or fruit farm— how to plant, 

 cultivate, trim, etc. 



^'~ All who intend to be systematic in 

 their work iu the apiary, should get a copy of 

 the Apiary Register and commence to use it. 

 The prices are as follows : 



For .")0 colonies (120 pages) $100 



" 100 colonies (220 pages) 125 



" 200 colonies (420 pages) ..'. 150 



The larger ones can be used for a few col- 

 onies, give room for an increase of nuinbers, 

 and still keep the record all together in one 

 book, and are therefore the most desirable.
