There is no unbelief; 
Whoever plants a seed beneath the sod, 
And waits to see it push away the clod — 
lie trusts in God , 
The last numler of Seed Tim u and Harvest 
was largely devoted to Fruits, and we trust 
contained much of value and interest to 
'Fruit Growers. This may be called a Vege¬ 
table number as we give a large amount of 
space to vegetables, and notes on their cul¬ 
tivation. Our next issue will contain more 
Floral matter, and we shall strive to make 
each more valuable and interesting, if pos¬ 
sible, than its predecessor. 
We have by no means given up the idea 
of, publishing Seed-Time and Harvest 
monthly, and hope to see such a rush of 
subscribers at our present favorable rate of 
subscription that the change may be effect¬ 
ed at no distant day. Will you not help 
to bring about this result? 
Although the subscription price of Seed- 
Time and Harvest alone is 25 cents per year, 
we shall for a limited time, or until further 
notice, send it without charge to every per¬ 
son who will order seeds from our list, 
which is given elsewhere in this issue, to 
the amount of 50 cents. Thus you will get 
twice your moneys worth. If you will act 
as our agent and show the magazine and 
this offer to your friends and induce them 
to subscribe we will pay you handsomely 
for your trouble. See announcement head¬ 
ed “Special to Agents” at the bottom of 
page 32 and take an agency at once. 
By special arrangements with the pub¬ 
lishers of Green's Fruit Grower which is 
advertised elsewhere in this issue, we are 
enabled to offer both it and Seed-Time and 
Harvest one year for 25 cents, the regular 
price of either when ordered alone. The 
Fruit Grower is an eight paged, 32 column 
paper published at Rochester, N. Y., and is 
literally filled to overflowing with interest¬ 
ing matter on fruit growing. Its editor, 
Chas. A. Green, is the popular Horticultur¬ 
al correspondent of the N. Y. Tribune. The 
Fruit Grower is well worth its low sub¬ 
scription price. 25 cents alone, and we 
trust the favorable arrangement which en¬ 
ables us to make this offer will be appreciat¬ 
ed by our customers. 
This number will be sent as a sample to 
many persons who may wonder how we got 
their names. In explanation we will say 
that our friends J. T. Lovett, and A. I. 
Root, (publisher of Gleanings in Bee Cul¬ 
ture) and ethers, have kindly furnished us 
with lists of their patrons for this purpose 
and we hereby tender them our thanks 
for the kindness. 
The country is now full of swindling 
concerns and people are frequently deterred 
from sending for things they really desire 
on account of having been humbugged 
previously, and so resolve to be over cau¬ 
tious rather than otherwise. Now should 
any who do not know us, entertain fears 
of this character, we respectfully ask them 
to send their money to the Post Mas¬ 
ter at La Plume, with orders to hold it un-
