GLEANINGS IN BEE CULTURE.

PRIZETAKER ONION SETS. 



We liiivo several bushels of these which we can 

 furnish at 10 cts. per i int: i5 ets. per quart; $1.00 per 

 peck; $3.50 ])er bushel. If wanted by mail, add 10 

 cts. pel' quart extra. Large sizes, iialf above prices. 



LATHYRIS SYLVESTRIS AND SACALINE. 



We have seed of both of the above in 5-cent pack- 

 ets, and can furnish sacaline-plants by mail post- 

 paid for 20 cts. each. Plants of Lathyris sylvestJis, 

 or flat pea, 5 cts. each ; 2'y cts. for 10, or $1.50 per 100 

 —postpaid by mail at above prices. 



SEED POTATOES. 



At present writing- all our second-size potatoes 

 are sold out. I think I must have made the price 

 pretty low— half price right through. Well, I want- 

 ed some plan by whicli we could get rid of all small 

 and otherwise objectionalile tubers, so that we 

 could give out for first-class only nice-lookitig, 

 good-sized ones. We have so far all kinds of the No. 

 1 size, but several kinds are iieaiiy sold out. 



SPRAY PUMPS AT REDUCED PRICES. 



The time for spraying fruit-trees is near at hand; 

 and those not already provided with a good spray- 

 ing-apparatus, if they have the trees, and expect to 

 get aiiy cQoice fruit, should not fail to secure in 

 time the necessary spraying-outflt. It is being 

 demonstrated more suiely every year, that it is 

 absolutely necessary to spray "fruit-trees of all 

 kinds one or more times in order to secure a stand 

 of reasonably perfect fruit. There are pests which 

 attack the foliage as well as those which destroy 

 the fruit. For the latter you should not apply the 

 poisonous spray till the petals of the blossoms have 

 all fallen off. Tlieii ihere is no danger of poisoning 

 the bees as tlie.v gather the nectar from the blos- 

 soms. To spray before the petals fail is worse than 

 useless. 



We are late in getting out our list of spray pumps 

 this year. We call your attention to our line in the 

 advertising- pages. We do not believe you will get 

 better \alue for the money anywhere than in the 

 lino wo offer. To dealers, and those who buy to sell 

 again, we will make special low prices 

 in quantities on application. 



The adjoining cut shows a pump 

 which we secured after our other line 

 was made up. This is very much like 

 the Myers bucket pumix Th(» rubber 

 hose, '.1 incli, is attached to the top of 

 a brass tube running up through the 

 center of the air-chamber. This re- 

 duces the capacity of the air-chamber. 

 The pump is lighter, and we do not 

 think quite as good as the Myers; but 

 for tlie price at which we offer it, $3,50, 

 it is a bargain. It can be sent by 

 mail, postpaid, for f3.25 An eigbi- 

 foot pipe extension, not mailable, will 

 be included at 35c extra. 



OXYDO^OK AND D. L. MOODY. 



On the second page of the Oxydonor pam- 

 phlet, the O.xydonor people make use of the 

 name of D. L. Moody as follows: 



Our manager, Capt. R. Kelso Carter, is well 

 known all over this country, and in England, to 

 many thousands of the best people, as a college pro- 

 fessor, a scientific and religious writer, and a prom- 

 inent evangelist in Christian work, and as a lecturer 

 of great ability and magnetism. As to his charac- 

 ter, ask such men as Rev. A. J. Gordon, of Boston; 

 Dwight L. Moody, and Major Cole. 



I at once wrote to Mr. Moody, forwarding a 

 leaf from their circular, containing the above 

 paragraph. I also inquired of him wheth- 

 er it could be possible that he knew that his 

 name was being used to push a fraud. His re- 

 ply below comes to hand just as we go to press: 



I know nothing ab(5ut this, and never indorsed it. 



Chicago, March 26. D. L. Mot)DV. 



" Magnetism'' indeed ! It must be this sort 

 of magnetism that prompts them to use a good 

 man's name in this way without permission.
