The New Potato Culture,— by E. S. Carman, editor of the Rural New Yorker ; from the 
publishers, the Rural Publishing Co., New York City. Price in paper 40 cents, cloth 75 cents. 
The author is the originator of the Rural French System and originator of the Rural New 
Yorker No. 2 Potato. This is prepared after fifteen years of experimentation by the author, 
who has grown over 1000 bushels of potatoes to the acre. This book is sure of a ready sale 
with potato specialists. 
The Youth’s Companion, Boston, Mass., is the most popular young peoples’ paper. If you 
have never seen it, mention this fact, also “ Howe’s Potato Manual ” on a postal card and it 
will secure you a sample copy. It is a weekly, size 12 x 16 inches, of eight and often twelve or 
more pages. 
Book op Ideas for Advertisers, or “ 100 Ideas for One Dollar,— from the author, D. jT. 
Mallett, New Haven, Conn. Such of my readers as do any advertising will find this book 
worth to them many times its cost. Write the author for his circular. 
The American Garden,— from the publishers, The Rural Publishing Co., New York City. 
Since the bringing of the Rural New Yorker and American Garden under one management, 
of which Lawson Valentine, the agricultural philanthropist, is president, both publications 
have increased the rapid improvement which they have made in the recent past. Each is cer- 
tainly at the head of its class. 
The Book-Keeper,— a monthly journal. From the Book-Keeper Co., Detroit, Mich. Size 11 
x 15 inches, 14 pages, 50 cents per year. Devoted to the interests of book-keepers, cashiers, 
and business men in general. 
The Mapes Potato Book advertised on the second page of this Manual is a feast to those 
interested. Don’t fail to send for it, but be sjire and mentien “ Howe’s Potato^Manual.” 
FARM ACCOUNT BOOK. 
I have a few copies of French’s Farm Account Book that I will sell at $1.00 each by mail, 
or in connection with potatoes that go by express or freight, for 80 cents each. This is an ex- 
cellent book, ruled and printed especially to simplify the accounts of the farm. At the above 
prices it is as cheap as a corresponding blank book at a stationer’s, without all the excellent 
help which this gives.
