GENERAL  PREMIUH  LIST. 
The  general  premiums  of  the  following  list  have  no  connection  with  the  “  special”  premiums  previously  described.  New  subscriptions  sent  in  combination  with 
these  “general  ”  premiums  may  be  counted  in  clubs  (numbering  10  or  more)  sent  in  for  competition  for  the  “ special  ”  premiums.  They  also  count  in  the  clubs  for  the 
$2,000  cash  to  be  distributed  among  all  who  send  clubs  of  five  or  more  new  names  for  The  Rural  New-Yorker,  or  for  American  Gardening. 
Any  of  these  premiums  are  for  sale  to  our  subscribers  at  the  prices  named  ;  but  come  at  much  lower  cost  in  combination  with  subscriptions. 
If  your  own  subscription  is  already  paid  for  1893,  any  desired  premium  article  can  be  secured  at  the  combination  rate  by  getting  new  subscriptions.  For  ex¬ 
ample:  The  R.  N.-Y.  pocket  knife  alone  costs  $1  ;  with  a  year’s  subscription  $1.85  ;  or  with  a  renewal  and  a  new  subscription  for  $2.60.  Now,  if  your  own  subscrip¬ 
tion  is  already  paid  for  1893,  either  directly  or  in  some  other  combination,  you  can  still  have  the  knife  at  85  cents  by  getting  a  new  subscription  at  $1  and  adding  the 
85  cents  yourself  for  the  knife.  Or  get  two  new  subscriptions  and  add  the  60  cents  yourself  for  the  knife.

Brass  and  Silver  Lamps.

these  lamps  at  home  that  any  kerosene 
light  could  be  so 
beautifully  soft 
and  strong— a  pow¬ 
erful  light  with¬ 
out  glare  and 
flicker,  easy  and 
delightful  for 
tired  eyes.  The 
lamp  itself  is  a 
thing  of  beauty.

of  perhaps  the 
handsomest  of  the 
series.  They  are 
finished  in  silver, 
embossed  and 
highly  ornamental.  Price  in  silver,  $5  ;
