AMERICAN CATTLE : 
Their History, Breeding, and Management. Illustrated 
By Lewis F. Allen. Price $2.50, 
This book will be considered indispensable by every 
breeder of live-stock. The large experience of the author 
in improving the character of American herds adds to the 
weight of his observations, and lias enabled him to produce 
a work which will at once make good its claims as a stand- 
ard authority on the subject. An excellent feature of the 
volume is its orderly, methodical arrangement, condensing 
a great variety of information into a comparatively small 
compass, and enabling the reader to find the point on which 
he is seeking light, without wasting his time in turning over 
the leaves. 
NEW AMERICAN FARM BOOK. 
Originally by Ricliartl Li, Allen. Revised and greatly 
enlarged by Lewis F. Allen. Price $2.50. 
Allen’s American Farm Book has been one of the standard 
farmers’ hand books for twenty years; it is still a valuable 
book,but not up to the times; and as its author,Mr.R.L. Allen, 
could not give time to its revision, this was undertaken by 
his brother, Hon. Lewis F. Allen, the distinguished farmer 
of Erie county, editor of the American Short-horn Herd-* 
Book. The work is greatly enlarged, and full of suggestions 
from the rich experience of its editor and reviser, and is 
called the New American Farm Book. 
PARSONS ON THE ROSE. 
DOWNING’S FRUITS AND FRUIT TREES OF 
AMERICA. 
By A. J. Do-wning. Newly Revised and Greatly En¬ 
larged by Chas. Downing. 8vo„ 1122 pages. Price $t.50. 
The original work of the late A. J. Downing appeared in 
1845. Some years after it was revised and much enlarged by 
his brother, Charles Downing, who has again completed the 
work of a second revision. Charles Downing is upon all 
hands acknowledged as one of our highest pomological 
authorities. He writes but seldom, but whatever bears his 
name is accepted as the judgment of one who is entirely dis¬ 
interested, as far as the commercial aspects of pomology are 
concerned. The present edition contains the results of many 
years labor and experience which have been devoted to 
testing the value of fruits and acquiring a knowledge of 
them that should benefit others. When we compare this 
edition with the modest one which first appeared, we can see 
to what extent the subject lias grown. If only a small pro¬ 
portion of the new varieties that have been added prove 
valuable, we shall have reason to be proud of our progress. 
This elegant and valuable work will be an indispensable 
requisite to every library, and to all interested in Fruits or 
Fruit Culture. 
AGRICULTURAL QUALITATIVE AND QUANTITA¬ 
TIVE CHEMICAL ANALYSIS. 
After E. Wolff Fresenius, Krocker, and others. Edited by 
Prof. G>. C. Caldwell, of Cornell University. Price $2.00. 
In this work Professor Caldwell lias brought together tiie 
processes of analysis which apply especially to soils, fertil¬ 
izers, animals and plants, and their products. He lias tested 
the methods of the best foreign authorities, and presented 
them in a compact hand-book. Such a work lias long been 
needed by all who teach agricultural chemistry, and by 
analytical chemists generally. Professor Caldwell modestly 
calls himself the editor, but bis book shows that lie lias not 
contented himself with editing the works of others, but lias 
given much of his own experience. 
HOW CROPS GROW. 
A Treatise on the Chemical Composition, Structure, and 
Life of the Plant. With numerous illustrations and tables 
of analyses. By Prof. Samuel W . Johnson, of 
Yale College. Price $2.00. 
This book is a guide to the knowledge of agricultural 
plants, their composition, their structure, and modes of de¬ 
velopment and growth; of the complex organization of 
plants, and the uses of the parts, the germination of seeds 
and the food of plants, obtained both from the air and the 
soil. Very full and accurate tables of analyses are given, 
and tables of the proportions existing between different 
principles, oily, starchy, or nitrogenous, in the same and 
different plants. The book is an invaluable one to all real 
students of agriculture. 
Another work by the same author is now in press, enti¬ 
tled “ How Crops Feed,” in which the subject of the Food 
of the Plant is amplified in all its details, and the atmosphere 
and the soil are fully discussed in th'elr manifold relations to 
the Plant. 
PRACTICAL FLORICULTURE. 
A Treatise on the Propagation, Culture, and History of 
the Rose. Revised and newly electrotyped. Illustrated. 
By Samuel B. Parsons. Price $1.50. 
The Rose is the only flower that can be said to have a his* 
tory. It is popular now and was so centuries ago. In his 
work upon the Rose, Mr. Parsons has gathered up the curi¬ 
ous legends concerning the flower, and gives us an idea of 
the esteem in which it was held in former times. A simple 
garden classification has been adopted, and the leading vari¬ 
eties under eaclt class enumerated and briefly described. 
The chapters on multiplication, cultivation, and training, 
are very full, and the work is altogether the most complete 
of any before the public. 
Either of the above books sent post-paid on receipt of 
price by

ENDLESS AMUSEMENT 
FOR 
boys and girls. 
Crandall’s Improved Building Blocks 
furnish a most attractive amusement for children. 1 hey are 
very simple in construction, will stand years of children’s 
handling without breaking, and give renewed pleasure daily. 
A guide to the successful propagation and cultivation of 
Florists’ Plants. By Peter Henderson, author of “ Gar¬ 
dening for Profit.” Beautifully illustrated. Price $1.50. 
Certainly the most practical and desirable work that has 
ever been published on this subject. We are selling them 
rapidly. Some no doubt will say that it exposes the “ se¬ 
crets ” of the Trade too freely, and that it will make Garden¬ 
ers and Propagators so plenty that our occupation, like 
Othello’s, will he gone.—H. A. Dreer, Seedsman and Florist, 
Phila., Pa. 
Full to overflowing with valuable information. 
Francis Richardson, Toronto, Canada. 
Thoroughly practical, yet readable as a novel. N. Y. Sun. 
Just the work for the young Florist or Amateur, as it tells 
him clearly there is no such thing as failure, if its simple 
■teachings aFe followed.

CHURCHES, DWELLINGS, 
BARNS, HIIU US, 
FENCES, FURNITURE, etc.,

finished, the structure remains firm so that it can be carried 
about without falling to pieces. 
Tito Blocks arc put up In neat, strong boxes, and a large 
sheet giving various designs of buildings, etc., accompanies 
each box. Price: Plain, No. 1, $2.00; No. 3, $1.00. A liberal
