 that a large number of beginners in the busine.ss

MISCELLANEOUS HAND-BOOKS 



5 I A B C of Carp Culture, by Geo. Finley 25 



5 I A B C of Strawberry Culture,** by T. B. Terry.. 



New edition, revised and enlarged; paper, 45c; 



cloth. t)8c: by mail, 75c. 

 After Terry's potato-book had obtained such a 

 kind reception from farmers, market-gardeners, 

 and ot.iers, he was induced to give his plan of 

 growing strawberries, as he did potatoes, by plow- 

 ing under great crops of clover, and, like the pota- 

 to-book, his writings gave a new impetus to straw- 

 berry-growing: in fact, some of his pupils declare 

 that, aside from the picking, they can grow straw- 

 berries almost as cheaply per bushel as potatoes. 

 By following Terry's teachfngs. thousands of people 

 have not only been able to givethelr families but 

 the whole wide world better strawberries, and more 

 of them, than they ever saw before. 



6 I Asparagus Culture 40 



6 I Alfalfa Culture 40 



8 I Barn Plans and Out-buildings* 90 



2 I Celery for Profit, by T. Greiner** 25 



The first really full and complete book on celery 

 culture, at a moderate price, that we have had. It is 

 full of pictures, and the whole thing is made so plain 

 that a schoolboy ought to be able to grow paying 

 crops at once without any assistance except from the 

 book. 

 10 I Fruit Harvesting, Storing, Marketing, etc 75 



It has been well said that it is an easier matter to 

 grow stuff than to sell it at a proper price after it is 

 grown; and many men fail, not because they are in- 

 expert in getting a crop, but because they do not know 

 how to sell their crops to the best advantage. This is 

 the first book of the kind we have had as an aid in 

 selling. It not only tells all about picking, sorting, 

 and packing, but gives all the best methods for storing 

 for one or two days or a longer time. It also tells 

 about evaporating and canning when there is a glut 

 in the market. It discusses fruit packages and com- 

 mission dealers, and even takes in cold storage. It is 

 a new book of 250 pages, full of illustrations. Pub- 

 lisher's price, |1.00. 



I Farming with Green Manures, postpaid** 90 



This book was written several years ago; but since 

 competent labor has got to be so expensive, and hard 

 to get, many farmers are beginning to find they can 

 turn under various green crops cheaper than to buy 

 stable manure, and haul and spread it — cheaper, in 

 fact, than they can buy fertilizers. This book men- 

 tions almost all plants used for plowing under, and 

 gives the value compared with stable manure. Some 

 of the claims seem extravagant, but we are at present 

 getting good crops, and keeping up the fertility, by a 

 similar treatment, on our ten-acre farm. 



7 I Farm, Gardening, and Seed-growing** 90 



10 I Fuller's Grape Culturist** 1 15 



5 I Garden and Farm Topics, Henderson** 60 



12 1 Gardening for Pleasure, Henderson* 1 10 



While "Gardening for Profit" Is written with a view of mak- 

 ing: gardening pay, it touches a good deal on the pleasure part, 

 and "Gardening for Pleasure" takes up this matter of beauti- 

 fying your homes and improving your grounds, without the 

 special point in view of making money outof.it. I think most 

 of you will need this if you get "Gardening for Profit." This 

 work has 246 pages and 134 illustrations. (Retail price *2.00.) 



12 I Gardening for Profit** 1 10 



This is a late revision of Peter Henderson's celebrated work. 

 Nothing that has ever before been put in print has done so 

 much toward making market-gardening a .science and a fasci- 

 nating industry. Peter Henderson stands at the head, without 

 question, although we have many other books on these rural 

 employments. It you can get but one book, let it be the 

 above. It has 376 pages and 138 cuts (Retail price $2.00.) 



8 I Gardening for Young and Old, Harris** 90 



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 most happy vein. If your children 

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

 make them a present of this book. It has 187 pages 

 and 46 engravings.
