From Prof. Haven, of the University of Michigan. 



If called upon to sacrifice my library, volume by volume, the 

 book which 1 should preserve lonj'est, except the Bible, is the 

 American Dictionary of the English Language, by Dr. 

 Wehstbr. E. O. haven. 



All young persons should have a standard Dictionary at their 

 elbows. And while you are about it, get the best; that Dic- 

 tionary Is NoAii Webster's— ttc great work, unabridged. If you 

 are too poor, save the amount from off your back, to put it into 

 your head. — Phrenological Journal. 



Every farmer should give his sons two or three sqvare rods of 

 ground, well prepared, with the avails of which they may buy it. 

 Every mechanic should put a receiving box in some conspicuous 

 place in the house to catch the stray pennies for the like purpose. 

 Lay it upon your table by the side of the Bible ; it is a better ex- 

 pounder than many which claim to be cxpouni^ers. It is a great 

 labor saver; — it has saved us time enough in one year's use to 

 pay for itself; and that must be deemed good property which 

 will clear it'elf once a year. If you have any doubt about the 

 precise meaning of the word clear in the last sentence, look at 

 Webster's thirteen definitions of the v. t.—Mass. Life Boat.

HOOKER STRAWBERRY PLANTS. 



OW is the time to plant Strawberries, and the HOOK 

 STRAWBERRY is the kind to plant tor the follow 

 reasons : — 



It is a Berry of the largest size ; 



Jt is vigorous and very productive ; 



It is unequalled for quality and lieauty. 

 It has perfect blossoms, and consequently does not requin 

 be mixed with other sorts. 



Being the only Berry extant, 

 which combines in »ne all desirable excellence, both for the ai 

 teur and the market gardener. 



The Plants should be set in rich, dry ground, 12 inches apai 

 the rows 2^ or S feet apart. Keep all the runners off, if la 

 fruit is desired. 



Measure your land, and find the number of plants required, ; 

 send to us for them at once by mail or otherwise. Price $1 

 dozen— $3 per hundred. H. E. HOOKER & CO.,
