 tliusia.sm and interest in strawberry eulnire never known

 10 I Fuller's Grape Culturist** 140 



1 Farming- For Boys* 7:> 



This is one of Joseph Harris' happiest productions, and it 

 seems to me that it out;ht to make farm-life laseinatingtoanj 

 boy who has any soit of taste f'lr gardening. 



7 I Farm, Gardening, and Seed-Growing-** 90 



Tills is by Francis Brill, the veteran seeii-grower, and is the 

 only book on tfardening that 1 am aware of that tells how 

 market-gar<leners and seed-growers raise and harvest theii 

 own seeds. It has 166 pages. 



12 I Gardening: for Pleasure, Henderson* 1 85 



While " Gardening for Profit "is written with a view of mak 

 ing gardening pay, it touches a good deal on the pleasure part: 

 and "Gardening for Pleasure " takes up this matter of beauti 

 tying vour homes and improving your grounds without tin 

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

 of you will need this if you get " Gardening for Profit." Thi.' 

 work has 40t pages and iOi illustrations. 



12 I Gardening for Profit, new edition** 1 85 



This is a late revision of Peter Henderson's celebrated work. 

 Nothing that has ever before been put in print has done so 

 much tow ard making market gardening a science and a fasci 

 nating industry. Peter Henderson stands at the hea<l, without 

 question, altho\igh we have manv 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. 



I Gardening for Young- and Old, Harris** 1 26 



This is Joseph Harris' best and happiest effort Although it 

 goes over the same ground occupied by Peter Henderson, it 

 particularly emphasizes thorough cultivation of the soil in 

 preparing your ground; and this matter of adapting it to 

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

 vein. If your children have any sort of fancy foi gardening it 

 will pay you to make them a present of this book. It has 187 

 pages and 46 engravings.

5 I Greg-cry on Cabbag-es ; paper* 25 



5 Greg-ory on Squashes; paper* 25

The above three books, by our friend Gregory, are all val- 

 uable. The book on squashes especially is good reading for 

 almost anybody , whether they rai se squashes or not. 1 1 sti-ikes 

 at the very foundation of success in almost any kind of

3 i In.iiirioiis Insects, Cook 25 



10 I Irrigation for the Farm, Garden, and Or- 

 chard, Stewart* 140 



This book, so far as I am informed, is almost the only work 

 on this matter that is attracting so much interest, especially 

 recently. Using water from springs, brooks, or windmills, to 

 take the place of rain, during our great droughts, is the great 

 lU'blem before us at the present day. The book has 274 pages 

 and Hi cuts.

them ; in paper covers 45

 rem mines, etc. It is a complete summing-up of the whole 

 matter. It is written by F. W. Sempers. 



7 I Market-gardening and Farm Notes, by 



Burnett Landreth 90 



The Landreths are the pioneer seedsmen of America; and 

 the book is worth fully as much as we ujight exi)ect it to be. I 

 hink I received hints from it worth the jirice, before it had 

 )een in my hands fifteen minutes. It is exceedingly practical, 

 uid tells what has been d^me and what is being done, more 

 ;han it discourses on theor3-. 



3 1 Maple Sugar and the Sugar-bush** 35 



By Prof. A. J. Cook. This was written in the spring of 1887 at 

 ny request. As the author has, perhaps, one of the finest 

 iUgar-camps in the United States, as well as being an enthusi- 

 tstic lover of all farm industries, he is better fitted, perhaps, to 

 landle the subject than any other man. The book is written 

 n Prof. Cook's happy style, combining wholesome moral les 

 ions with the latest and best method of managing to get the 

 Inest syrup and maple sugar, with the least possible expendl 



ture of cash and labor. Kverybody who makes sugar or mo- 

 lasses wants the sugar-book. ' It has 42 nages and 36 cuts.

This is a large book.t-..\9 inches. :!li7 pages, quite fully illus- 

 trated. It is Teny's first large book; and while it touches on 

 the topics treated in his smaller hanilbtioks. it is .-ufliciently 

 different so that no one will complai" nf re|)etiti<m. even if he 

 has rend all of Terry's little books. I ,ould call it the bright 

 est and most practical book on f >,iiing before the world at 

 the present d,ay. The price is »2 ' i) post)iaid; or clubbed with 

 Gleanings for 2.M. Those who ine already subscribers to 

 Gleanings may have it giostpaid by sending us l..')(l more. We 

 are so sure it will be worth luaiiy times its cost that we are 

 not alraid to otTei to take it b.ick il any (me feels he has not 

 got Ills money's worth .irier he has read it. If ordered by ex- 

 press or fieight with other goods, lllc less,

 ture and the new method The book is fully illustrated, and 

 written with all the enlhusiasm and interest that character- 

 ize its author. T. Gieincr. Even it one is not liarticularlv in- 

 terested in the business, almost aiiv pi'ison who picks up

 pests, and who has not? It is written in such a happy vein 

 that every member of the family will read it clear tiii-ough, 

 just about as soon asthey get fiold of it. It contains a com- 

 plete suuimiug up of the best information the world can

 market-gardener who lives in Ailington, a subui-b of Bo.ston,

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



Just out. Fully illustrated, containing every thing of im- 

 portance clear up to the present d.ale. 



The single chapter on digging ditches, with the illustrations 

 given by Pr. f. Chamberlain, should alone make the book 

 worth what it costs, to every one who has o' casion to lay ten 

 rods or more of tile. There is as much science in diggiiig as 

 in doing almost anything else; and by following the iilan 

 directed in this book, one man will often do as much as two 

 men without this knowledge. The book embraces every thing 

 connected with the subject, and was written by the author 

 w hile he was enga ed in the work of digging the ditches and 

 laying the tiles HIMSELF, for he has laid literally miles of 

 tile oil his own farm in Hudson. O.

 ing in general. This little book is iiitercstingbeeause it is one 

 of the Hr-t rural books t ■ come from our friends in the South.

 some years past; namely, tomato-growing in the South to 

 supply the Northern markets The little book, which is fully

 ties anri luobabilities of the future of S.nitbei n agriculture. 

 Even though you clo not grow t..m.atiies to any considerable 

 extent, you will find the book liiiiuful of suggestions of short 

 cuts in agriculture and horticulture, and especially in the line 

 of market-gardening. 



3 I Winter Care Of Horses ;ind Caff le 35 



This is friend Teri-y's second book in regard to farm matters; 

 but it is so intimately connected with hi> potato-book that it 

 reads almost liki' a sequel to it. If you have only a horse or a 

 cow. I think it will pay you to invest in the book. It has 44 

 pages and 4 cuts.
