FREEMAN POTATOES FOR TABLE USB. 



Mrs. Root has been making careful tests of all 

 the new potatoes oftert^d for sale, and there Is no 

 one of them equal to the Freeman— not even the 

 old Snowflake. that has been given the high^•st place 

 of all. If you have never tried the Fr't-eman you 

 should have titi least a few f r-om our stock grown by 

 T. B Terry. Choice potatoes, carefully selected for 

 seed, are only $1.50 per barrel; seconds, ha f price. 

 The latter are just b auti'nl for a baking potato. 



PREMIUM POTATOES TO OLD SUBSCRIBERS WHO RE- 

 NEW. 



To every person who sends us $1 for Gleanings, 

 past, present, or future, where no other premium is 

 called for, we will allow 1 lb. of Thoroughbreds, or 

 the same value in any of the other kinds in the list. 

 But the recipient must pay all postage at the rate 

 ot 10 cts. per lb. for stamps and packing. Please 

 notice in Kind Words in this issue the quantity of 

 valuable potatoes that some of our readtTs secured 

 last yt ar from their 1 lb. of premium potatoes. Of 

 course, you can have your premium potatoes sent 

 bv express or freight with other goods, and then 

 tiiere will be nothing to pay for poi-tage.

 US A NEW SUBSCRIPTION. 



Every present subscriber to Gleanings who will 

 send us a new name, inclosing $1 for the same, may 

 have as a premium a barrel of New Queen seconds, 

 worth 63c We do not make this offer because the 

 New Queen is in any way inferior, but because we 

 have a very large lot of them; and as it is an early 

 potato it ought to be planted pretty soon. Of 

 course, the one to whom the potatoes are sent must 

 pay freight. If it i* too much trouble for you to 

 get a new name, make somebody a present of 

 Gleanings for one year; but please remember 

 that this exceedingly liberal offer is made solely
