GLEANINGS IN BEE CULTURE. 



481 



5 I A B C of Strawberry Culture** 35 



Tlie above book by T. B. Terry, with some additional re- 

 marks by A. 1. Kuot, is, at the ijreseiit time, creating an en- 

 thusiasm and interest in sti'awLierry etlltnre never Itnown 

 before. It is a book ot 114 paRes and Ii2 eni^ravings, and it is 

 fully up to tile times. 



5 I An E>rK-K:irm, Stoddard** 45 



I Amateur Pliotou ruplier's Hand-book** 70 



Barn Plans and Out-Buildmgs* 1 50 



I Canary Birds. Paper, 50 



3 I Celery for Prottt , by T, Grciner** 35 



The tlrst really full and eomplete book on celery culture, at 

 11 moderate price, that we have had. It is full of pictures, 

 and the whole thin;;- is made so plain that a schoolboy ought 

 to be :ibli' to grow p.i viiivr crops at once, witliout any assis- 

 tance except from the l)o.ik. 



I Draining for Profit and Health, Warring:.. 1 50 



10 I Fuller's Grape Culturist** 140 



I Farming For Boys* 75 



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

 seems to me that it ouMTht to make farm-life fascinating to any 

 boy who has any sort of taste for gardening. 



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



This is by Francis Brill, the veteran seed-grower, and is the 

 only book on gardening that I am aware of that tells' how 

 market-gardeners and seed-growers raise and harvest their 

 own seeds. It has 166 pages. 



13 I Gardening for Pleasure, Henderson* 1 85 



wliile "Gardening for fro(it"is written with a view of mak- 

 ing gardening pat, it touches a good deal on the pleasure part; 

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

 fying your homes and improving your grounds without the 

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

 of you will need this if .vou get " Gardening for Profit." Tliie 

 work has 401 pages and 20:? illustrations. 



13 I Gardening for Protit, 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 toward making mm ket>gardening a science and a fasci- 

 nating industry. Peter Henderson stands at the head, without 

 question, .although 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 35 



This is „'osepli 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 chi'.dren have any sort of fancy for gardening it 

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

 pages and 46 engravings. 



10 I Garden and Farm Topics, Henderson** 75 



I Gray's School and Field Book of Botany. . . 1 80 



5 I Gregory on Cabbages ; paper* 35 



5 Gregory on Squashes; paper* 35 



5 I Gregory on Onions; paper* 35 



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

 uable. The book on squashes especially is good reading for 

 almost anybodv, whether they raise squashes or not. It strikes 

 at the very foundation ot success in almost any kind of 

 business. 



10 I Greenhouse Construction** 1 40 



This book, by Prof. Taft, is ju.st out, and is as full and com- 

 plete in regard to the building of all glass structures as is the 

 next hook in regard to their management. .\ny one who 

 builds even a small structure for plant-growing iinder glass 

 will save the value of the book by reading it carefully. 



15 I How to Make the Garden Pay.** 1 35 



By T. Greiner. This is a new book, just out, and it gives the 

 most explicit and full directions for gardening under glass of 

 any book in the world Those who are interested in hot-beds, 

 cold-frames, cold-greenhouses, hot-houses or glass structures 

 of any kind for the growth of plants, can not afford to be with- 

 out the book. 



I Handbook for Lumbermen .. 10 



10 I Household Conveniences 1 4li 



2 I How to Propagate and Grow Fruit, Green* 15 



2 I Injurious Insects, Cook 35 



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 

 problem before us at the present day. The book has 274 pages 

 and 142 cut.s. 



5 I Manures; How to Make and How to Use 



them; in paper covers 45 



6 I The same in cloth ccjvers 65 



Covering the whole matter, and discussing every thing to be 

 found on the furm. refuse from factories, mineral fertilizers 

 from mines, etc. It is a complete summing-ui) 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 might expect it to be. I 

 think I received hints from it worth the price, before (it had 

 been in my h.inds Htteeu minutes. It is exceedingly practical, 

 and tells what has been done and what is BEING, done, more 

 than it discourses on theory. 



3 I Maple Sugar and the Sugar-bush** 36 



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

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

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



astic lover of all farm industries, he is betterfltted, perhaps, to 

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

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

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

 finest syrup and maple sugar, with the least possible expendi- 

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

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



I Onr Farming, by T. B. Terry** $3.00 



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

 bring both profit and pleasure." 



This is ;i large book, 6x9 inches, :!67 pages, quite fully illus- 

 traleil. II is Ter-ry's lirst large IjooU; and while it t. .11. -hes on 

 the topics trcati'd in his smaller liajiilb.joks, it is sulliciently 

 different so that no one will coin|ilain of lepeti tioii, ev<'ii if he 

 has read all of Terry's little hooks. I should call it the bright- 

 est and most practical book 011 farming hef ore the world at 

 the present day. The price is $2.im postpaid; or clubbed with 

 Gleanings for 2..W. Those who are already subscribers to 

 Gleanings may have it postpaid by sending us l.SO more. We 

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

 not afraid to offer to take it back if any one feels he has not 

 got his money's worth after he has read it. If ordered by ex- 

 press or freight with other goods, 10c less. 

 3 I Onions for Profit ** 45 



Fully up to the times, and includes both the old onion cul- 

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

 written with all the enthusiasm and interest that character- 

 ize its author, T, Greiner. Even if one is not particularly in- 

 terested in the business, almost any person who picks up 

 Greiner's books will like to read them' through. 



Poultry for Pleasure and Profit** 10 



Practical Floriculture, Henderson* 1 35 



Profits in Poultry* 90 



i I Practical Turkey-raising 10 



By Fanny Field. This is a 2,5-cent book which we offer for 10 



ets.; postage. 2 ets. 



4 I Peabody's Webster's Dictionary 10 



Over 30,000 words and 2.i0 illustrations. 



3 I Kats: How to Rid Farms and Buildings of 

 them, as well as other Pests of like Char- 

 acter 15 



This little book ought to be worth dollars instead of the few 

 cents it costs to any one who has ever been troubled with these 

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

 that every member of the family will read it clear th'rough, 

 just about as soon as they get hold of it. It contains a com- 

 plete summing up of the best information the world can 

 furnish.

lU i Success in Market-Gardening* 90 



This is a new book by a real, live, enterprising, successful 

 market-gardener who lives in Arlington, a subui-b of Boston, 

 Mass. Friend Rawson has been one of the foremost to make 

 irrigation a practical success, and he now irrigates his grounds 

 by means of a windmill and steam-engine whenever a diought 

 threatens to injure the crops. The book has 208 pages, and is 

 nicely illustrated with 110 engravings. 



! Ten Acres Enough . . i OO 



( Talks on Manures* i 75 



This book, by Joseph Harris is, perhaps, the most compre- 

 hensive one we have on the subject, and the whole matter is 

 considered by an able writer. It contains 366 pages. 



3 I The Carpenter's Steel Square and its Uses. 15 

 10 I The New Agriculture; or, the Waters Led 



Captive ... 75 



3 I Treatise on the Horse and his Diseases. . 10 



6 I Tile Drainage, by W. I. Chamberlain 35 



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

 portance clear up to the present date. 



The single chaijter on digging ditches, with the illustrations 

 given by Prof. Chamberlain, should alone make the book 

 worth what it costs, to every one who has occasion to lav ten 

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

 in doing almost anything else; and by following the plan 

 directeil in this hook, 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 

 while he was enga ed in the work of digging the ditches and 

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

 tile on his own farm in Hudson, O. 



5 I Tomato Culture 35 



In three parts. Part first— by J. W. Dav. of Crystal Springs, 

 Miss., treats of tomato culture in the South, with some re- 

 marks by A. I. Root, adapting it to the North. Part second- 

 By D Cummins, of Conneaut, O.. treats of tomato culture 

 especially for canning-factories. Part third— By A. I. Root 

 treats of plant-growing for market, and high-pressure garden- 

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

 of the lirst rural books to come from our friends in the South. 

 It tells of a great industry that has been steadily growing for 

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

 supply the Nortliern markets. The little book, which is fully 

 illustrated, gives us s e plr.isant glimpses of the possibili- 

 ties anil probal.ihtics of the future of Southern agriculture. 

 EvL-n though vou do not grow tomatoes to any considerable 

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

 cuts in agriculture and horticulture, and especially in the line 

 of market-gardening, 



3 I Winter Care of Horses and Cattle 35 



This is friend Terry's second book in regard to farm matters; 

 but It IS so intimately connected with hi;- potato-book that it 

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

 cow, I think it will pay you to invest in the bo"ok. It has 44 

 pages and 4 cuts. 



3 I Wood's Common Objects of the Micro- 

 scope** 47 



8 I What to Do and How to be Happy While 



Doing It, by A. I, Root 50
