Jl GR.1JY1) PRIZE CONTEST, 
Fifty Dollars in Gold, 
In order to furnish profitable and interesting 
employment to our young friends during the 
long winter evenings, we have decided to offer 
Fifty Dollars in gold in four prizes, to the four 
persons who shall between this date and March 
1st, 1882, send us the most complete and accurate 
answers to three questions which are simple and 
easy for any person to correctly answer. There 
will be no chance work about the matter, but the 
prizes may be regarded as a reward for care 
and thorough pains-taking work. Our ob¬ 
ject in giving these liberal rewards is to familiar 
ize our readers with the contents of this number 
of Seed Time and Harvest, to show them how 
much labor we have expended in getting it up, 
and how cheap it is at the low price we ask for 
it. The $50. will be divided into four prizes of 
$20, $15, $10 and $5, respectively, to be awarded 
and paid to the persons who shall send us the 
first, second, third, and fourth most correct ans¬ 
wers to these three questions. Our only restrict¬ 
ions are that all persons competing must first 
have their name enrolled upon our subscription 
books for one year. It makes no difference 
how, when or through whom you subscribe, only 
so your name may be found on our books on 
March 1st, when the competition will close. It 
was our first intention to offer these prizes for 
greatest number of words to be formed from the 
different letters in “Seed Time and Harvest,” 
and we advertised to that effect in several papers 
but upon mature deliberation, for good and sat¬ 
isfactory reasons we have decided to change it as 
above announced to the persons who most cor» 
rectly answer the following questions. 
1st. How many different individual and firm 
names may be found in this issue of. Seed Time 
and Harvest? Every individual name, every firm 
name, business address &c., will each count one 
provided it has not already been counted, as no 
repetitions will be allowed. The exact require¬ 
ment is that the address must be given in such 
a manner that a letter so addressed, would reach 
the party. • For instance if we speak of the Farm 
and Garden, Philadelphia, Pa., that counts one. 
We afterwards say, John E. Read is Editor, this 
does not count, first, because we do not say 
whether he lives in Philadelphia or not, and if 
he does a letter addressed to him there would be 
supposed to reach the Farm and Garden Office 
which we have once counted. If we should copy 
an article and give credit to the New York 
Tribune, that counts one, but if we speak of the 
Tribune simply, it cannot count, because we may 
mean the Chicago, or some other Tribune. 
Care and judgment will therefore be required 
and whoever best exercises them will be reward¬ 
ed liberally. 
2d. The second question is how many different 
varieties of Fruits, Flowers, Vegetables and 
Plants, are named in this issue? None to be 
counted unless it has a special name which is 
plainly given to distinguish it from some other 
variety. No repetitions to be counted. We may 
speak of Yellow Danvers Onion, or Double 
Dwarf Balsam, each half a dozen limes, but each 
will be counted but once. We may speak of
