238 GLEANINGS IN BEE CULTURE. 



Regarding Our Advertisers. 



Feb. 15 



¥ The St. Louis Seed Co., St. Louis, Mo., claim to have 

 originated a tomato seed from which the largest toma- 

 toes known are grown. This company will send a sam- 

 ple packet of seed and their illustrated catalog free to 

 our readers. This offer is made in their " ad't " on p. 247 



The Wood Co., Medina, Ohio, whose advertisement 

 appears on page 247, are starting a mail order depart- 

 ment for their seed trade. They carry all the leading 

 varieties of clover and timothy seed, and will gladly 

 send samples and prices upon application. The editors 

 of Gleanings do not hesitate to recommend this com- 

 pany as a reliable firm. 



The Bee and Honey Co., Beeville, Texas, wish to an- 

 nounce to their friends that they have purchased the 

 Atchley steam bee-hive factory, and have moved the 

 same on the railroad track in that city, and it will be 

 their aim to give the bee-keepers an up-to-date bee- 

 supply house, with better accommodations than ever 

 before. 



Any one who is planning to plant a garden this season 

 should begin to select the varieties of vegetables and 

 flowers he will use. The Storrs & Harrison Company's 

 catalog will be found a very helpful guide in making 

 such selections. This company is located at PainesviUe, 

 Ohio, and will send their catalog free upon request. 



The 74 page catalog which is sent free to applicants 

 by the American Incubator Co , Freeport, 111., is as com- 

 plete and instructive an incubator and general poultry 

 book as we have seen. The illustrations of the twenty- 

 six varieties of poultry which this company handle are 

 exceedingly good. Their Incubator advertisementj ap- 

 pears on page 248. 



' Burpee's Farm Annual for 1909 has jus6 reached us. 

 We do not believe that we have ever seen a finer exam- 

 ple of color work in connection with seed advertising 

 than is shown in this catalog. There are more than 150 

 pages filled with illustrations, descriptions, and matters 

 of interest to people who have gardens for pleasure or 

 profit. See the Burpee ad. on page 248. They will send 

 their Annual free. 



The Cyphers Incubator Co., of Buffalo, N. Y., claim 

 eighteen distinct points of improvement in the 1906 

 model of their incubator. So many improvements in an 

 incubator, already considered almost perfect, must be 

 one which will give exceedingly good results. In the 

 Cyphers advertisement on page 241, they offer to send 

 their catalog of 228 pages entitled "Poultry Raising 

 Made Easy and Profitable," without charge. 



The Hart Pioneer Nursery Co. , Fort Scott, Kansas, 

 whose ad't appears on page 248, is one of the oldest 

 nursery companies in the United States. At their mod- 

 ern nursery and packii g grounds they have installed 

 every convenience which virill facilitate prompt and care- 

 ful shipping. If you are in need of any thing in this 

 hne, either wh >lesaleor retail, send for the Hart cata- 

 log and get them to quote you on your wants. This 

 company has a very high commercial rating, and guar- 

 antees absolutely square business dealings. 



Mr. G. M. Clark, president of the Cutaway Harrow 

 Company, Higganum, Conn., is an authority on grass 

 culture We have received a booklet on this subject 

 which IS a copy of an address made by Mr. Clark. It is 

 very interesting and instructive to any one interested 

 in the subject of rai.sing grass for profit. Mr. Clark 

 says that intense cultivation is the main spoke in this 

 work. Send for a catalog which is prepared for distri- 

 bution, and ask for a copy of Mr. Clark's lecture. You 

 will be well paid by doitg so. 



Mr. Law-ence J. Farmer, the strawberry man of Pu- 

 laski, N. Y., says that he began fruit-growing and gar- 

 dening when he was thirteen years old. Surely a man 

 who has been selling strawberry-plants for as long a 

 time as Mr. Farmer must give an exceptionally good 

 quality of plants, and have square business methods if 

 he has retained the confidence and custom of his pa- 

 trons as has Mr. Farmer, Mr. Farmer's advertisement 

 appears on page 247. If you are thinking of planting 

 strawberries this year you will act wdsely in writing to 

 him for information.

—not Yours 



I T~l YOU are not a reader of MUN- 

 I p' SEY'S MAGAZINE I want 

 r you to become one. I want 



you to know what it is like, and to know 

 at my expense, if the magazine does 

 not suit you. If it does suit you, and 

 the price is right, you will naturally 

 wish to pay for it. There isn't much 

 in the theory of getting something for 

 nothing. MUNSEY'S Magazine is 

 worth your knowing. It was MUN- 

 SEY'S Magazine that led off a dozen 

 years ago in the low price for maga- 

 zines—ten cents a copy and one dollar 

 by the year. It was the fight we had 

 with a giant News Company monopoly 

 that made MUNSEY'S Magazine pos- 

 sible, and that blazed the way for all 

 other publishers whose magazines are 

 issued at the price of MUNSEY'S. But 

 this is too big and too graphic a story 

 to be told in this advertisement.
