THE RURAL NEW-YORKER. 
Publisher’s Desk. 
To January 1, 1902, for 50 Cents. 
During the last two years we have re¬ 
ceived several thousand letters thank¬ 
ing us for the new rose, Ruby Queen, 
most of them saying at the same time 
that the writers are always glad to do 
a good turn for The R. N.-Y. We are 
going to give these good friends a chance 
now to interest their neighbors in the 
paper. We have some roses yet left. 
Get two of your neighbors to give you 
50 cents each, send us the dollar and 
their names and addresses. We will 
send them the paper the remainder of 
this year, and each a rose by return 
mail. For your part we will send you 
postpaid Mr. Stringfellow’s New Horti¬ 
culture, which is advertised in another 
column, for 50 cents. We hope to hear 
from several thousands of our friends 
on this proposition. Do not put it off. 
See what you can do at once. As is well 
known, we never make any great prom¬ 
ises as to what is to be printed in The 
R. N.-Y. We like performance better, 
but we have matter now in hand and in 
sight which will surely prove strong and 
readable. From now until January 1, 
1902, for 50 cents is a great bargain. Mr. 
Stringfellow’s book is easily worth ?1 to 
any man.

The New Horticulture 
BY H. M, STBIDICF^ELLOW. 
We do not hesitate to say that this is one of the most 
interesting books on horticulture that ever was printed. 
Most reading farmers have heard of the now famous 
“Stringfellow Method” of planting trees, but few 
understand clearly what it is. This book tells the whole 
story in clear-cut, forcible style, which all can under¬ 
stand. Not only is the theory of close root-pruning 
carefully explained, but the general principles of garden¬ 
ing and fruit-growing are discussed. Mr. Stringfellow 
is a practical gardener, and he gives his own experience. 
We commend the book to all without reserve. New 
Edition, paper covers, 50 cents.
