GRAND BAPIDS LETTUCE SEED FOR GREENHOUSES 

 AND COLD-FRAMES. 



We have ju,st received a nice lot of the above seed 

 from the originator, Eugene Davis. It costs us 

 however, almost four times as much as some Grand 

 Kapids lettuce seed bought of one of the large seed- 

 groweis. We have not had an opportunity, how- 

 ever, of deciding which kind is best. That from 

 trieiid Davis we can not sell for less than 30 els. per 

 ounce, or $2.,50 per lb. You can have the other for 5 

 cts. per oz., or tiO cts. per lb. I do wish our experi- 

 ment .stations would lielp us to decide whether we 

 had better purchase the higli-priced seed, wlien seeds- 

 men offer us two different l^inds. as in the above. 

 We are going to sow some of each, and carefully 

 note the diflferencc— if any. 



WANTED.— To exchange good country store

the GAULT RASPBERRY. 



So many are asking for plants this fall, I li.-ive 

 consulted friend Gault particularly in regard to clie 

 matter. Is it advisable to set out this raspberry in 

 the fall ? He says, decidedly not, in northern local- 

 ities. Further soutli, where there is no danger of 

 their being heaved out by frost, it will probably be 

 all right. Of course, the plants may be mulched; 

 and in the hands of one wh i understands tlie mat- 

 ter, and in particular soils, it may be a success. 

 We now have a very large stock of finely rooted 

 plants, and you may have them this fall, if you are 

 willing to take you chances, with the above expla- 

 nation. The price is 60 cts. each, or $5.00 per dozen. 

 We are not at liberty to make any better prices 

 tlian the above -that is, I have promised friend 

 Gault that I would not. T am, however, at liberty to 

 make the following offer to our subscribers: Any one 

 who sends a dollar for Gleanings, besides paying 

 up back dues, may have one Gault raspberry-plant 

 for 2o cts. ; or it any old subscriber, after paying up 

 back dues, will subscribe himself, and send us one 

 new subscription, he may have a plant free of 

 charge; and it will be shipped any time you order 

 it, either sjiring or fall. We are now (Oct. 8.) gath- 

 ering clusters of jet-black raspberries, larger than 

 any thing we ever saw in the «hape of a raspberry, 

 and, I think, more delicious. There is not a very 

 big yield on our rich ground, but enough to show 

 the possibilities of so short a time, for our young 

 plants were planted in the spring. 



corrugated bread-knife. 



Ipiesume all who have tried it agree that, for 

 cutting bread, especially fr'^sh bread and cake, 

 nothing is equal to a knife with corrugated (or saw- 

 tooth) edge. The Christy a-id Clauss knives have 

 had a large sale. Both of these have a straight 

 blade with corrugated edge, and it is not so easily 

 sharpened as a straight edge. The knife we offer 

 overcomes this difficulty and still retains the cor- 

 rugated edge. Because the blade is corrugated 

 wlien it is ground with a straiglit bevel on one side, 

 it makes the cutting edge corrugated, and accom- 

 plishes the desired result. We are also able to offer 

 these knives for less than the others. We will give 

 one free for one new subscriber to Gleanings, with 

 $1.00. and 5 cts. to pay postage, and you may offer 

 the rest of this year free to the new subscriber. If 

 you send your own renewa' also, you may omit the 

 o cts. postage, and we will send you also postpaid 



AN ALUMINUM THIMBLE. 



This is .something that will not 

 rust or tarnish. It is so light .you 

 ■^xould not know it was on your fin- 

 ger by its weight. It is very tough, 

 and will wear almost indefinitely. 

 Notliing (ould he more desirable 

 to give to wife or daughter, or your 

 best girl. We will sell the thimble 

 at 6c postpaid, or .ic with other 

 goods, 50c per dozen. The bread- 

 knife at 2.5c postpaid; or with other 

 goods, 30c each ; $3.00 per dozen.
