 The following is first qualit.v, and is worth \% cts. 

 per square foot. It can be used for any purpose 

 for which wire cloth is ordinarily used; and even at 

 \%, cts. per sq. ft. it is far below the prices usually 

 charged at hardware and furnishing stores, as you 

 will ascertain by making inquiry. We were able to 

 secure this very low price by buying a quantity of 

 over one thousand dollars' worth.

 feet for each roll; and by dividing by the number of feet 

 wide .you can determine the length of each piece.

We know of nothing nicer or better for a trellis for creeping 

 vines, than the above netting. The 12 to 24 inch is just the 

 thing to train up green peas, fastening the netting to stakes 

 by means of staples. If the stakes are set in substantially, 

 one each 12 or 15 fret will answei-. When the peas ,are stripped 

 off the stakes, netting an-1 all can be rolled up and laid away 

 until another season. A. I. ROOT, Medina, Ohio.
