OEAUTIFULLY printed, splendidly illustrated, strongly bound,

Formulas for Grafting Wax. 



Gardeners' and farmers' PLANTING TABLES— telling the best 

 varieties, when to plant, how deep, how far apart (rows and 

 plants in rows), what to use for succession, etc. The most practi- 

 cal planting tables ever printed.

The best TREES and SHRUBS and EVERGREENS. 



The best LAWN MIXTURES. 



The vitality and germinating periods of seeds. 



Principal INSECT ENEMIES and diseases of crops. 



When to expect, and how to protect growing things from FROST. 



SPRAY MIXTURES and spray calendars. 



Information for BUILDING. 



Relative cost of CONSTRUCTION.

How to mix and use CONCRETE. 



How to make all kinds of roads.

Simple REMEDIES for the farm animals.

 How to RENT a farm. 

 How to obtain Government land. 

 Rules for foretelling the WEATHER.

Probably the most valuable feature of the whole Almanac is the twelve " immediate service 

 coupons, in the back pages, which insure an immediate answer to any question which the 

 Almanac may not answer fully enough.

 experts will be set working until you have an authoritative and complete reply,
