The R. N.-Y.’s Review of the Catalogues 
(CONTINUED.) 
Early is described as a free-stone, ripen¬ 
ing with Hale’s Early and not possess¬ 
ing its bad quality. Strawberry plants 
are a specialty of this nursery. An illus¬ 
tration shows a hickory tree on the 
grounds, over which grows a grape vine 
of unknown age, measuring 26 inches in 
diameter four feet from the ground. 
M. Crawford, Cuyahoga Falls, O.— 
All of our readers who cultivate straw¬ 
berries should send for this catalogue, 
because Mr. Crawford is one of our first 
strawberry authorities, and because he 
tells the exact truth as he sees it. Of 
the carefully selected varieties which he 
offers, he places William Belt at the 
head and the Margaret next. Brandy¬ 
wine is his choice for late. Mr. Craw¬ 
ford also makes a specialty of the 
gladiolus.

Twenty 
Years,*** 
For more than twenty years 
we have been telling: how 
Scott's Emulsion overcomes the 
excessive waste of the system, 
> puts on flesh, nourishes and 
builds up the body, making: it 
the remedy for all wasting: di¬ 
seases of adults and children, 
but it isn't possible for us to 
tell the story in a mere stick¬ 
ful of newspaper type. 
We have had prepared for 
us by a physician a little book, 
telling: in easy words how and 
why Scott's Emulsion benefits, 
and a postal card request will 
be enough to have it sent to 
you free* To-day would be a 
good time to send for it.

So says Jones, and he resolves to become a “manu¬ 
facturer.” He buys a fence machine, a "county 
right, etc., and starts in to compete with steam and 
capital. His neighbor Smith invests same amount 
in ‘‘feeders,” thus realizing a good price for his crops, 
enriching his farm, and enabling him to “lift the mort¬ 
gage and fence with Page, while Jones “goes to 
the wall.
