KIND WORDS FROM OUR CUSTOMERS. 



Mr. Root. — Seeds ordered of your firm came to hand 

 in good condition. Potatoes shipped us April 1 ar- 

 rived in .safety in spite of the cold. Carman No. 3 are 

 beautiful stock. Maule's Thoroughbred are fine 

 shape for an extra early. During the week we will 

 order a little more stuff — seeds, plants, and apiarian 

 supplies, as we can depend on honest goods, gospel 

 measure, and square dealing every time. 



Hopedale, O., Apr. 11. D. H. Welch. 



"IT DON'T TASTE GOOD." 



Sometimes when an old subscriber has been unfor- 

 tunate in the way of sickness or otherwi.se, in consid- 

 eration of his having been with us for a good many 

 years we have .sometimes sent our journal for a short 

 time free of charge, rather than to have it stopped 

 entirely. Below is a report of one of these old friends 

 of ours : 



Mr. Root : — I suppose you thought you would never 

 get that dollar for Gleanings for 18SI7, and that old 

 Johnson is a "ra-cal." Be that as it may, an honest 

 man will pay if he can. Please find inclosed il.50. 

 One dollar of it is for the year I am behind, and the 50 

 cents is for the six months you sent it free. It don't 

 tasie good to read unless it is paid for.
