doctor, and one who has made the matter of domestic 

 economy a life study. The regular price of the book 

 is II. (X), "but by taking a large Tot of them we are en- 

 abled to make the price only 30 cents. 



10 I Farming for Boys* .' 1 15 



This is one of Jo.seph Harris' happiest productions, 

 and it seems to me that it ought to make farm-life fas- 

 cinating to any boy who has any sort of taste for gar- 

 dening.

12 Gardening for Pleasure, Henderson* 1 35 



12 Gardening for Profit** 1 35 



8 Gardening for Young and Old, Harris** 1 25 



This is Joseph Harris' best and happiest effort. Al- 

 though it goes over the .same ground occupied by Peter 

 Henderson, it particularly emphasizes thorough culti- 

 vation of the soil in preparing your ground ; and this 

 matter of adapting it to young people as well as old is 

 brought out in a nio.st happy vein. If your children 

 have any .sort of fancy for gardening it will pay you to 

 make them a pre.seuf of this book. It has 187 pages 

 and 4G engravings. 



3 I Ginseng Culture, by Morris G. Cains 25 



3 I Grasses and Clovers, with Notes on Forage 



Plants 20 



This is bj' Henry A. Dreer, author of the book, 

 " Vegetables Under Glass " that has had such a large 

 sale of late. This little book tells how six totis of 

 gra.ss ha.s been grown to the acre, and gives much 

 other valuable matter. 



10 I Greenhouse construction, by Prof, Taft** 1 15 



This book is of recent publication, and is as full and 

 complete in regard to the building of all glass struc- 

 tures as is the next book in regard to their manage- 

 ment. Anj' one who builds even a small structure for 

 plant-growing under gla.ss will save the value of the 

 iDOok by reading it carefully. 



12 I Greenhouse Management, by Prof. Taft** 1 15 



The book is a cjmpanion to Greenhouse Construc- 

 tion. It is clear up to the times, contains 400 pages 

 and a great lot of beautiful half-tone engravings. A 

 large part of it is devoted to growing vegetables under 

 glass, especially Grand Rapids lettuce, as well as 

 fruits and flowers. The publisher's price is $1.50; but 

 as we bought quite a lot of them we can make a spe- 

 cial price as above. 



5 Garden and Farm Topics, Henderson** 60 



Gray's School and Field Book of Botany 1 80 



5 Gregory on Cabbages, paper* 20 



5 Gregory on Squashes, paper* 20 



5 Gregory on Onions, paper* 20 



The above three books, l)y our friend Gregory, are 

 all valuable. The book on .squashes especially is good 

 reading for almost anybody, whether they raise 

 squashes or not. It strikes at the very foundation of 

 success in almost any kind of business. 



I Handbook for lyumbermen 05 



5 I Home Pork-making; 125 pages, illustrated 40 



I think it will pay well for everybody who keeps a 

 pig to have this book. It tells all about the care of 

 the pig, with lots of pictures describing cheap pens, 

 appliances, all about butchering, the latest and most 

 approved short cuts; all about making the pickle, 

 barreling the meat, fixing a smoke-house (from the 

 cheapest barrel up to the most approved arrange- 

 ment); all about pig-troughs; how to keep them clean 

 with little labor; recipes for cooking pork in every 

 imaginable way, etc. Publisher's price is 50 cents, 

 ours as above.

2 How to Propagate and Grow Fruit, Green* 15 



2 I Injurious In.sects, Cook 10 



10 I Irrigation for the Farm, Garden, and Orchard* 1 10 



Bj' Stewart. This book, .so far as ] am informed, is 

 almo.st the only work on this matter that is attracting 

 so much interest, especially recently. Using water 

 from springs, brooks, or windmills to" take the place 

 of rain, during our great drouths, is the great problem 

 before us at the present day. The book has 274 pages 

 and 142 cuts. 

 7 I Market-gardening and Farm Notes 75 



3 Maple Sugar and'the Sugar-bush** 32 



4 I Peahody's Webster's Dictionary 10 



Over 30,000 words and 250 illu.strations.

Them; in paper covers 30 



6 I The same in cloth covers 65 



I Nut Culturist, po.stpaid 1 50 



3 I Onions for Profit** 40 



Fully up to the times, and includes both the old 

 onion culture and the new method. The book is fully 



illustrated, and written with all the enthusiasm and 

 interest that characterizes its author, T. Greiner. 

 Even if one is not particularly interested in the busi- 

 ness, almost any person who picks up Greiner's books 

 will like to read them through. 



I Our Farming, by T. B. Terry** 1 50 



In which he tells " how we have made a run-down 

 farm bring both profit and pleasure." 



This is a large book, 6x9 inches, 367 pages, quite ful- 

 ly illustrated. It is Terry's fir.st large book ; and while 

 it touches on the topics treated in his smaller hand- 

 books, it is sufficiently different so that no one will 

 complain of repetition, even if he has read all of Ter- 

 ry's little books. I should call it the brightest and 

 most practical book on farming, before the world at 

 the present day. The price is 12.00 postpaid, but we 

 have made arrangements to furnish it for only 11.50. 



If ordered by express or freight with other goods, 

 10c less.

1 Silk and the Silkworm 10 



10 Small-Fruit Culturist, Fuller 1 10 



2 Sorghum, Stock Beets, Strawberries, and Ce- 



ment Floors. By Waldo F. Brown 08 



This little book ought to be worth its cost for what 

 is said on each of the four different subjects; and the 

 chapter on cement floors may be worth many dollars 

 to anybody who has to use cement for floors, walks, 

 or any thing else. In fact, if you follow the exceed- 

 ingly plain directions you may save several dollars on 

 one single job; and not only that, get a better cement 

 floor than the average mason will make. 

 10 I Talks on Manures* 1 35 



7 Ten Acres Enough** 75 



10 1 The New Agriculture ; or, the Waters Led Cap- 



tive (a $1.50 book) 40 



11 I The New tgg-Farm, Stcddard** 70 



This is an enlarged edition of the oOcent book pub- 

 lished 25 or 30 years ago by H. H. Stoddard. If I 

 could have only one poultry-book it would be the New 

 Eggfarm. This book is of special value to me be- 

 cause it not only discusses most emphatically the 

 value of exri ci'se to poultry, but it touches on the value 

 of exercise to all other animated nature including hu- 

 manity. The book has over 300 pages and 150 illustra- 

 tions. It is entirely different from any other poultry- 

 book in the world, inasmuch as it discusses mechanic- 

 al contrivances so that all the varied operations of a 

 poultry-farm may be done as much as possible with 

 the aid of machinery. The regular price is $1 00, but 

 by buying a quantity we are able to furnish it at price 

 given. 



2 I Treatise on the Horse and his Di.seases 10 



5 I Tile Drainage, by W. I. Chamberlain 35 



Fully illustrated, containing every thing of impor- 

 tance clear up to the present date. 



The single chapter on digging ditches, with the il- 

 lustrations given by Prof. Chamberlain, should alone 

 make the book worth what it costs, to every one who 

 has occasion to lay ten rods or more of tile. There is 

 as much science in digging as in doing almost any 

 thing else ; and hy following the planjlirected in the 

 book, one man will often do as much as two men with- 

 out this knowledge. The book embraces every thing 

 connected with the subject, and was written by the 

 author while he was engaged in the work of digging 

 the ditches and la3'ing the tiles HIMSELF, for he has 

 laid literally miles of tile on his own farm in Hudson, 

 Ohio. 



3 I Tomato Culture 35 



3 Vegetables under Glass, by H. A. Dreer** 20 



3 I Vegetables in the Open Air* 20 



This is a sort of companion book to the one above. 

 Both books are mo.st fully illustrated, and are exceed- 

 ingly valuable, especially at the very low price at 

 which they are sold. The author, H. A. Dreer, has a 

 greenhouse of his own that covers one solid acre, and 

 he is pretty well conversant with all the arrangements 

 and plans for protecting stuff from the weather, and 

 afterward handling to the best advantage when the 

 weather will permit out of doors. 



3 I Winter Care of Horses and Cattle 25 



This is friend Terry's second book in regard to farm 

 matters ; but it is so intimately connected with his po- 

 tato-book that it reads almost like a sequel to it. If you 

 have only a horseor a cow, I think it will pay you to 

 invest in a book. It has 44 pages and 4 cuts.
