TOM THUMB PEPPER As a winter decorative plant, this 



will be found to be a great acquisition. Growm in pots.it will prove 

 very useful for the decoration of the dinner table, or in fact in any 

 situation where a bright color is desirable for effect. The piant is of a 

 dwarf branching habit, scarcely exceeding 9 inches in height. The 

 leaves are small and oval shaped. The berries, which are of a globu- 

 lar form about the size of a red currant, are of a bright color; they are 

 produced in great profusion on short pedicels, which spring from the 

 axils of the leaves and rise above the foliage, literally covering the 

 plant. The plant produces flowers and bears berries all through the 

 season, and should become quite as popular as the Solanum, on ac- 

 count of its free habit of growth and 

 its distinct appearance. This fine 

 new pepper was awarded a first-class 

 certificate of merit by the Royal 

 Horticultural Society of London, 

 England. It is sure to please every 

 customer who sows it. Packet, 15 

 cents; 2 packets, 25 cents.

What Mr. Terry has to say about the P, 



This note may reach the eye of some friends who used to read my articles in 

 THEIR AGRICULTURAL PAPER, Rt'T have missed them fob two or three years back. 

 The reason is. that all my time that can be spabed from the farm in summer Is 

 devoted to writing for THE PRACTICAL FARMER, of Philadelphia. Writ- 

 ing; for but one paper, of course one can do better work. The best that I can 

 do In the line of encouraging, Inspiring, and leading into the best ways, fs 

 done weekly in the columns of THE PRACTICAL FARMER. I am no the- 

 orist, NOR DO I PREACH ONE THING AND PRACTICE ANOTHER. I WRITE ABOUT WHAT I HAVE 



done. Every line of practice that you find me advising you will find me doing 

 when you come to the farm during the working season. I have hardly had a day og this 

 summer, as it is all I can do to run the farm the best we know how, and tell you 

 about It from week to week. My time in winter is given to attending Far- 

 mers* Institutes all over the land, where many good things are picked up for 

 P. F. readers. This may be the first time that some have heard of the writer. 

 To these friends let me say, I want you to take THE PRACTICAL FARM ER, 

 of Philadelphia, so I may be helpful to you, if possible. I have had some 12 ykjks 

 experience writing and speaking daily for months each winter to audiences of 

 farmers. Rut back of this we have had 5J.» years experience on the farm, going 

 In debt for a run-down farm, and gradually working our way up until our 

 debts were paid, and every improvement made that we eared for (we carry a 

 Are insurance of $8,900). Mr. Alva Agf,e, the well known writer, said of our farm in 

 the Ohio Farmer, recently : "It is the neatest farm I ever saw." From 8 bushels of wheat per 

 acre the year we bought the place, we have worked up to 47?i bu. this year (1894). All this 

 came about by systematic work, governed by simple business principles. You must excuse me 

 for saying this, as it is only done to draw you into our family with the hope that I may help you 

 along more or less on the road we have traveled. It doesn't make one cent's difference to me 

 whether you take the paper or not. I am 

 not after your money, but want to 



HELP YOU TO MAKE MORE MONEY. And 



Mr. Maule has kindly offered to insert 

 this note in his catalogue, where many 

 thousands will see it.
