GLEANINGS IN BEE CULTURE.

try to make it a great study to save mamma time 

 atid steps; and with something- provided so cheap, a 

 healtliful, nourisliing, and delicious food can be 

 smoliing hot for the tahle in from three to five min- 

 utes, wiiich is certainly a great desideratum. 



COLD-FBAME OR HOT-BED SASH. 



As we are now approaching- tlie season for using 

 sashes for protection from tlie frost, we call 

 attention again to the new-style light hotbed 

 sash we have been using for the past two or three 

 years. At first it was tliought that such ^ ery light 

 sash would not stand the weather and handling; 

 but in our own gardens our boys found them a very 

 great convenience indi'ed on account of their light- 

 ness. Tt is true, they are a little more apt to be 

 blown off by the wind; but when placed on a nice 

 well-fitting- bed, so as to cover the bed entire, the 

 wind rarely moves them. When used for construct- 

 ing small clieap greenhouses they should be fasten- 

 ed on with appropriate hooks, or be held down with 

 screws. There is a special advantage in using these 

 for greenhouses for raising vegetables, becavise the 

 movable sashes may be kept piled uv). stored away 

 out of the way until they begin to be needed in the 

 fall; and iu the same manner they may be moved in 

 the sprinff, and stored awiiy. thus giving the plants 

 the benefit of the sun and rain as soon as the weath- 

 er will permit. For all hardy or half-hardy stufif 

 this is a great convenience. 



The sash are of the regular size, 3 ft. 4 inches by 6 

 ft., for four rows of glass 8 inches wide. If any 

 prefer larger glass we will furnish sash for 3 rows 

 of 11-inch glass at same jjrice. These sash are 

 halved together at the corners, instead of being 

 mortised and tenoned in the usual way. They have 

 the advantage that they may be shipped knocked 

 down at a low rate of freight, and they can be put 

 toB-ether by anybody. If done securely they are 

 just as strong as the regular sash. They are l^s, in. 

 thick, outside bars about 3 inches wide, and inside 

 ones about ]>4. The bars are grooved to slip the 

 glass in place. If a light of glass is broken, move 

 them up close and slide another in from the bottom 

 end. If any prefer the bars rabbeted to set glass in 

 putty, we will make them so on request. In put^ 

 ting the sash together the best .iob is done with 

 screws; but nails may be used, and are less expen- 

 sive 



Price of one sash, in the flat, for sample, 

 without glass or screws, 6.5 cts ; 5 in the flat, 60 cts. 

 each ; 10 in the flat, 55 cts. each. If you want screws 

 to put them together, add 5 cts. for each sash. The 

 holes are all bored, so you know just where the 

 screws are to go. Glass. 8x10, just right for the 

 above, $3.00 per box of 90 lights; 5 boxes, M.90 per 

 box; 10 boxes, $1.80 per box; less than a box, at 3'i 

 cts. per light. 



Sash put up, no glass or paint, 16 cts each extra; 

 10 cts. each extra for each coat ct paint, and 80 cts. 

 each extra for glass set in place, making the sash 

 put up. painted '' coats, and filled with glass, at 

 $1.75 each in lots of .">. The risk and freight charges 

 are so much more shipi)ed i)ut up with glass that we 

 do not recommend you to order this way, and we 

 can not well pack less tlian 5 s.afely. 



We would not advise shipping a less number than 

 five; but if you take our advice you will have all 

 your glass sash shipped in the flat. In this case 

 they go as fourth-class freight; whereas, all com- 

 plete they will have to go as flrst-class, and some 

 roads rate them as double flrst-class. 



JERSEY WAKEKIELD CABBAGE SEED; H. A. MARCH'S 

 STOCK SEED. 



We are on hand again with another extra-fine lot 

 of this seed now known so well. Ounce, 20 cents; 

 pound, $2 .50. Remember this is as cheap as. and in 

 many cases cheaper than, the seed you buy without 

 knowing who grew it or any thing about it. It is 

 not a bit too early to make your preparations and 

 be ready for extra-early cabbage next season. 



POT.\TOES FOR FALL, PLANTING. 



For price-: and full description of all the potatoes 

 we recommend and sell, please send for our potato 

 catalog. We offer remarkably low prices for fall 

 shipment, and expect to be able to ship potatoes 

 safely, by taking proper precautions in packing, 

 clear through this present month of November-- 

 that is. unless the cold-wave signals shall seem to 

 render it imprudent. 



SECOND SrZE SEED POTATOES. 



These are all closed out, with the exception of a 

 few Puritan and Lee's Favorite. We have, how- 

 ever, a large stock of second-size Freeman's, T. B.

 — firsts and seconds. 



Oct. 31 —State of Maine potatoes are just sold out.

 order. Every thing is perfectly satisfactory. Your 

 hives, both in material and workmanship, f-xcfy all 

 others in this vicinity. F. P. Sargent. 



San Bernardino, Cal., Sept. 4. 



We are feeling good this morning because we 

 took first and second premium on lioney, and sec- 

 ond on potatoes, at our county fair, for which we 

 are indebted to Gleanings, A B C in Bee Culture, 

 and the A B C of Potato Culture. I love to hear 

 from A. I. Root and Tallmadge. C. A. Peterson.

THE QUALITY OF ROOT'S SHIPPING-CASES. 



Mr. Root : — Your 100 twelve-section three-row 

 cases were duly received. They were at once nailed, 

 filled, and crated, and on the 20lh shipped to S. T. 

 Fish & Co., Cliicago. On the 23d they write: "Your 

 honey arrived late last night, and we sold it this 

 morning at 16 cts. pei- 1). We hope you are pleased 

 with the price, and we must compliment you on 

 putting up your honey, as It is as fine a package as 

 we have received, and finer (with the exception of 

 one man) than any one else puts up." That is what 

 I thought of them when I put the first case together. 

 Great minds frequently run in one channel; but 

 when a small bee-keeper and a big commission 

 house agree on a business matter, /( must be so. The 

 compliment is deserved by you alone, and it is but 

 right you should know how we appreciate tiie tine 

 work you are putting out. It meant for me a quick 

 sale and an extra cent a pound. Geo. G. Scott.
