GLEANINGS IN EEE CULTURE. 



019 



right along without even wilting, drouth or no 

 drouth, then you are ready to push ahead a 

 little faster. 



I should be very sorry indeed if these high- 

 pressure-gardening talks should induce any of 

 you to invest time and money in what will 

 prove to be only a failure; but when somebody 

 tells me, years afterward, that strawberries 

 helped to pay off the mortgage on their little 

 home, and that it was the garden talks in 

 Gleanings that set them at work at it, then I 

 say to myself, " Thank God that I have been 

 permitted to be useful to somebody."'

Crimson clover, new crop, old price; viz , bushel, 

 $3.40. 



Aug. 15. — Our New Queen potatoes are now ripe. 

 and the first planting- lias been dug— yield, some- 

 where between 400 and .'50(1 bushels per acre. We 

 expect to sow with crimson clover, this afternoon, 

 the ground they occupy. 



WANTED— NEW CROP COW PEAS AND SOJA BEANS. 



If any of our readers have any already harvested, 

 will they please tell us what they want for them ? 

 Of course, it will be desirable to purchase as near 

 home as possible. One thing that troubles us is, 

 there are ever so many v;irieties of cow peas, and I 

 am tuld there are at least three varieties of soja 

 bears The kind that Is used for coffee, Cole's great 

 American coffee-berry, for instance, is said to be 

 different f i-om those raised for stock. Can auybody 

 tell us about it V We have quite a little crop of the 

 cuttVe-berry CDniing on ol' our own growing. 



HoMEr Column. 



CITT MARKETS. 



Tlie quotations in this column are based, as nearly 

 as possible, on the grading adopted by the North 

 American, and are the prices that tlie commission 

 men get, and on which the commis.sion for maliing 

 the sales is figured. The grading rules referred to 

 are as follows:* 



Fancy.— All sections to be well filleJ, combs straifrlit, of even 

 thickness, and tiiinly attached to all tour sides, both wood an(l 

 comb nnsdiled by travel-stain or otherwise ; all the cells sealed 

 except the row of cells next to the wood. 



No. 1. — All sections well filled, but combs uneven or crooked, 

 detached at the bottom, or wltli but few cells unsealed; both 

 wood and comb unsoiled by travel-stain or otherwise. 



In addition to this the honey is to be classified according to 

 coloi-. usiuK the terms white, amber, and daik. That is, there 

 will be " fancy white," •' No. 1 dark." etc. 



Dealers are expected to quote only those trrades and classifi- 

 cations to be found in their market. 



New YORK.—HoMejy.— No new comb on the mar- 

 ket yet, and we would not advise shipping before 

 Septembf-r 1st or latter part of this month, Ex- 

 tracted is selling fairly well at unchanged prices. 

 Supply plentiful. Beeswax very dull and declining-.

There is not much demand for honey at this time. 

 Receipts of the new crop not very large yet, and 

 quality fairly good. We think there is good reason 

 to expect a large consumptive demand later on, 

 and this market will afford as good encouragement 

 to shippers as any. A. V. Bishop «& Co..

 There Is very little movement in honey, owing, per- 

 haps, to unusuallj' hot weather. The offerings of 

 the new crop are in most instances of a high grade.
