GLEANINGS IN BEE CULTURE. 



237 



tured fouk days soonek. Crop all came in at two days' pick- 

 ing'. Slightly more prolific than tin* others; quality very good. 



W. C. Bkckert. 



In addition to the above we raised the finest 

 patch of peas last year by sowing the Alaskas, that 

 I ever saw or ever raised anywhere. They ripened 

 up so nearly at one time that we cleared the ground 

 at once and put cabbages in their place; intact, 

 the crop matured so suddenly— so much all at one 

 time— that we were obliged to take itin wagonloads 

 to towns to dispose of it. In tact, we had bad 

 luck with peas, just about as we had bad luck with 

 early pototoes. Did 1 never tell you about our baa 

 luck with potatoes? Well, we expected 25 bushels 

 from a little patch, and got over 100. We had so 

 many Alaska peas that we could not sell them in 

 Medina, and we could not sell them in the country 

 towns, and so they went to seed, and we have now 

 several bags full of beautiful seed— no bugs nor 

 any thing of the sort. The pods are remarkable for 

 their fine dark-green color, and this color holds lon- 

 ger after they have been picked than any other pea 

 we have ever tried. Price, per packet, 5 cts.; per 

 pint, 10 cts ; per peck, $1.50; per bushel, $5.00. If 

 wanted by mail, add 8 cts. per pint for postage.
