as early as this in any kind of decent ground it ought 

 to winter over with you as well as it does winter after 

 winter here in Medina. The finest stand of potatoes I 

 ever saw in ray life is where we turned under crimson 

 clover while in full bloom in May. Please notice our 

 prices for crimson clover (home-grown) are much 

 lower than prices made by any of the seedsmen — only 

 82.50 per bushel. This price lasts, however, only so 

 long as our supply holds out. 



SWEET-CLOVER SEED WANTED, 



We can use either the hulled or unhulled. Mail us 

 sample, tell us how much you have, and we will name 

 prices.

ADVANCING PRICES. 



Owing to the increased cost of materials the price of 

 very many goods listed in our catalog will have to be 

 advanced more or less. We expect soon to begin pub- 

 lishing in this department the advance prices for next 

 season, and these advance prices will take effect when 

 published unless otherwise specified. 



Window-screen wire cloth is advanced % ct. a foot, 

 making cut prices 2 cts. a foot, and full rolls 1% cts. 

 per sq. foot. Standard wire nails advance 2 cts. per 

 lb.; 15 cts. per 10 lbs.; SI. 50 per keg. Fine flat-head 

 nails, advance about 20 per cent. Double-pointed 

 tacks, advance 5 cts. a lb. Record lever-seal pails, ad- 

 vance 2 cts. each over catalog price. Square cans, ad- 

 vance 1 ct. per gallon, which makes boxes of two 

 5-gal. cans $7.00 for 10 instead of $6.00. Still further 

 advances will likely occur in these and other articles.

Testimonial. 



Medina, Ohio, May 29, 1899. 

 Gentlemen. — The nucleus of Carniolans you sent us 

 came to hand promptly, in fine order. Have examin- 

 ed them nearly every day and find them very gentle 

 indeed. Have a colony of select Italians, and in some 

 respects the Carniolans seem easier to handle. 



Yours truly, The A. I. Root Co.,
