Special Notices by A. I. Root. 



WANTED, SWEET CLOVER SEED. 



If you have any, either hulled or unhulled, mail us 

 sample and tell us how much you have, and what you 

 want for it. We need some at once, as we are sold 

 entirely out. 



OUR ABC BOOK ON POTATO CULTURE. 



If you have not got it already, we think it will pay 

 any one who grows even half an acre of potatoes to 

 have the book, especially as it now contains an ap- 

 pendix in regard to potato-growing on the Isle of 

 jersey. This treats of the new method of keeping 

 the seed potatoes, even in July, if you wish, without 

 the aid of cold storage or any thing that every farmer 

 has not got. The price of the book is 40cts.; with 

 other goods, by freight or express, only 35 cts. 



SEED POTATOES AS PREMIUMS, MAY 1. 



A barrel of potatoes (seconds) as a premium for one 

 new subscriber. 



At present writing our potatoes are in excellent or- 

 der, scarcely sprouted at all, because of the cool nights 

 that have permitted us to keep our cellar at a low 

 temperature. We are not entirely sold out of any 

 thing except Bovee, Burpee's Kxtra Early, and New 

 Queen. But we have also, besides those mentioned in 

 the table. Poor Man's' Friend (Blue Victor), and Adir- 

 ondack. The Adirondack is very much like Mills' 

 Prize. The price of both of these will be the same 

 as Mills' Prize in the table. We have all together 

 about 5(X) bushels left. Seconds will be half price 

 where we have them. At present writing we have no 

 seconds of any account except Manum's Enormous, 

 vSir Walter, Monroe Seedling, Carman No. 1, Poor 

 Man's Friend, Mills' Prize, and Adirondack. Now, to 

 close out this lot of 500 bushels, every one who sends 

 us f 1.00 for Gleanings may select 50 cents' worth of 

 seed potatoes from the list; and every one who sends 

 us 3100 to send Gleanings into some new home or 

 new locality, where it has not been going, may have 

 $1.00 worth of potatoes; thus you can make some one 

 a present of Gleanings for one year, and have SI. 00 

 worth of potatoes for a premium. Please notice we 

 pay no transportation; and if potatoes are wanted by 

 mail, you must furnish the postage-stamps. In regard 

 to planting late, our potatoes will be mostly planted 

 during June, and some of them up into July, and we 

 have had many years of experience in planting both 

 early and late. We rarely fail in getting a good crop 

 when our potatoes are put in July 1. 



Now, before you order a barrel of potatoes sent a 

 long distance, say to Texas, Maine, or California, find 

 out from your station agent how much the freight 

 will be. When potatoes are shipped, whoever orders 

 them must pay the freight.
