one-half peck each; these are filled with vegetables 

 in season, from radishes to cauliflower. Assortment 

 is made to furnish soup, salad and substantiate, with 

 occasional fancies, such as eggplant and cantaloupes. 

 Home hampers are packed in the morning, shipped 

 by express at 7 A. M., and delivered at the customer's 

 door in time for dinner ; hence real sweet corn, crisp 

 lettuce, melting peas, beans, etc., all A No. i, are 

 available for the table of the city dweller. The 

 average family uses two home hampers per week. 

 Price, $1.50 each, delivered at the door, within the 

 delivery limits of the Long Island Express Company 

 and payable at the end of each month. Good idea, 

 it seems to me. Try it. 



Send only fresh, clean, attractive products to 

 market ; sort, grade and honestly pack and mark each 

 package; give full measure; use only clean, neat 

 packages, and put your name and brand thereon. 

 Keep the "culls" for stock feed ; earn a reputation 

 for fancy products only. 



My earnest wish : May your garden be a great 

 success, whether planned for pleasure or profit.
