A barrel can be made up of as many varieties as you 

 choose, and they will be at barrel prices if you have a 

 whole barrel or more. We will keep them safely in 

 our potato-cellars until next April if you prefer. Po- 

 tatoes that are wanted in the .South we will ship later 

 than the date given above; and we will guarantee pro- 

 tection from frost by giving them extra care in pack- 

 ing in paper and fine sawdust. But as this extra pack- 

 ing incurs extra labor and risk, we shall have to ask a 

 little more, which additional charge will depend on 

 where they are to go, and in what season of the year 

 you want them. Let me know what you want, and 

 when you want to plant them, and we will do the best 

 we can in way of prices. 



POTATOES AND GARDEN SEEDS TO BE GIVEN AWAY. 



Everybody who sends $1.00 for Gleanings (asking 

 for no other premium), may have 25 cents' worth of 

 potatoes, seeds, etc., providing he mentions it at the 

 time he sends in the monej'; and every subscriber 

 who sends us $1.00 for a new subscriber .so that Glean 

 i.vr,s may go into some neighborhood or family where 

 it has not been before, may have 50 cents' worth of po- 

 tatoes, seeds, etc. 



You can have your premium f)otatoes sent by mail, 

 express, or freight; but if vou want them by mail, 

 you must send the money for postage. For 25 cents 

 you can have 5 lbs. of potatoes: but the postage and 

 packing amounts to ten cents for each pound; and I 

 do not believe you want to pay 50 c-nts in postage for 

 25 cents' worth of potatoes. Asa rule, potatoes sho'ld 



f;o only by freight; 25 cents' worth is hardly enough 

 or a freight shipment; so by far the better way would 



be to have them shipped by freight with other goods. 

 The express charges on only 25 cents' worth are very 

 often as much as the postage, and sometimes more.
