Not a Novelty.

Only so far as this country is concerned is the Pingree potato patch a novelty. For years laborers and dwellers in the small villages of England have been in the custom of tilling small patches of “allotment land,” offered them at low rent or no rent by the local “squire.” Sucji gardens figure in many English novels. The liberal offer made by the T. .M. Roberts Supply House of Minneapolis, Minn., should be of interest to all our readers. In addition to the best bargain ever offered in seeds they give a highgrade knife free of charge with each purchase. Mention this paper when writing to advertiser.
