Copies will be sent one year for I 
In harvest time , when fields andivoods 
Out-dazzle sunset's glow , 
And scythes clang music through the land , 
It is too late to sow. 
Too late ! too late! 
It is too late to sow. 
In the pleasant autumn weather, 
When the golden fruit we gather, 
Oft I think that I would rather 
See the winter come, 
Hear the piercing north wind roaring 
Through the tree-tops bare and brown, 
Than this ceaseless rustle, rustle 
Of the sere leaves falling down. 
Seed-Time and Harvest is 3 years old. 
Reader, we were counting on you for 
a club of four at feast. Have you sent them 
in yet ? This is a good month to get them. 
Advertisers will bear in mind that copy 
for advertisements must be sent by the 15th. 
It actually requires two weeks to run our 
edition through the press. 
Does not your subscription expire with 
this number? If it does and you do not 
wish to lose a number or two you should 
renew immediately. And while you are at 
it, send along the names of four, at least, of 
your friends. One dollar will foot the bill. 
The boom in subscriptions which we 
are having since announcing that Seed-Time 
and Harvest is to hereafter appear Month¬ 
ly, will double our list of actual subscribers 
by December if not sooner. Well, let them 
come. The more we get the better paper 
we can give them. 
Now is the time that you should send 
us notes for publication concerning your 
gardening experiences this season. Tell us 
which varieties of vegetables, &c., have 
done the best for you, and report any other 
items which may prove interesting and 
profitable to our readers. How did that 
new potato please you? 
Seeds at Wholesale. In addition to 
our General Descriptive Catalogue—which 
will be issued in January, and which will 
be by far the finest and most complete one 
ever sent out by us—we shall, about Decem¬ 
ber 1st, issue a Wholesale List for Dealers. 
Market Gardeners and planters who pur¬ 
chase in large quantities. If you wish to 
purchase $10.00 worth or over of Reliable 
Seeds at Honest Prices you are requested to 
send for our Wholesale List. 
To Seed Buyers. New crop Cabbage 
Seeds and some varieties of Onion Seeds are 
extremely scarce this season all over the 
country, and not only prices must rule high 
for prime stocks, but it will probably be im¬ 
possible for planters to get certain varieties 
at any price if they wait until planting time. 
Fortunately we have a fair supply of these 
scarce articles and elsewhere quote very fa- 
rorable rates for early orders. There is no 
doubt but that many items will ad vance in 
price and we will hold to present quotations 
till November 1st only. 
It gives us the greatest pleasure to 
know that the announcement of our deter¬ 
mination to hereafter publish Seed-Time 
and harvest monthly has received the 
heartiest approval of a very large number of 
our readers, we having recently received 
hundreds of letters expressing in the most 
friendly terms the writers’ commendation 
of the movement and pledging support to 
the new monthly, so that we have no fears 
as to its continued success in the future. 
We would really like to make room for 
the publication of many of these friendly 
expressions, but could not possibly get them 
all between our two covers. We heartily 
thank the writers for their kindly interest 
and promise them that we shall labor inde- 
fatigably that we may merit the support 
they are so liberally bestowing upon us. As
