very unfavorable weather prevails dur- 

 ing tlie honey season — as so many show- 

 ers as to wash the nectar from the 

 blooms — Texas will probably produce the 

 coining spring one of the largest honey 

 crops on record. 



So. while you pass the "long winter 

 evenings" (which to us are unknown), 

 reflect that there is one place in the 

 United States where the bees need no 

 cellar, and the bee-keeper cares not one 

 whit about the price of coal.

An Old Subscriber. 



Mr. Editor : Some weeks since I saw a 

 communication in the American Bee 

 JouRN,\L from one of your subscribers 

 stating how long since he commenced 

 taking the "Old Reliable." Well, I imag- 

 ine that I rank among the oldest of your 

 patrons, having been a regular subscriber 

 to the first eight volumes (which I had 

 bound in calf and still possess) ; also at 

 irregular intervals ever since when I was 

 at home and not engaged in business 

 which prevented me from giving proper 

 attention to my bees. I have never since 

 1872 kept more than ten colonies (gen- 

 erally less) : just enough to supply my 

 children and grandchildren with a little 

 ";sweet-tooth-filler" semi-occasionally. It 

 is with unalloyed pleasure that frequently 

 I take down those old volumes and re- 

 read the articles by the fathers in (Ameri- 

 can) apiculture — Alley, Doolittle, Gallup. 

 Grimes (deceased), A. I. Root, and a 

 host of others whom my failing memory 

 cannot recall. 



I remember one subject of discussion 

 which I have not seen mentioned for 

 years, and which I fancy most of the 

 modern bee-keepers take but little inter- 

 est in, viz. : Parthenogenesis. However. 

 I am intimately with sohie "tots" (em- 

 bryo bee-keepers, possibly) who exhibit 

 considerable familiarity with the Greek 

 polysyllable, because, whenever they visit 

 their grandsire, he organizes a spelling- 

 class of eight members, to each of whom 

 that succeeds in spelling "parthenogenesis" 

 correctly he gives the choice of a bright 

 new dime (a supply of which he keeps 

 on hand for the purpose) or a section 

 of honey. 



Now lest some one of the younger gen- 

 eration should say "Will that garrulous old 

 fellow ever cease his chatter?" I will sim- 

 ply say I am, Your most obedient,

Carniolan-Italian Bees. 



Some time ago I saw a request in the 

 American Bee Journal for information 

 about the Carniolan-Italian bees. In re- 

 ply to that request and for the benefit 

 of those who may desire to know some- 

 thing more of them I will say that I a'^ 

 now using those bees largely. That is to 

 say. I have over 150 colonies and have 

 had twp years' experience with them. 

 For me they are greatly superior to the

That Harrison Apple-Tree Sale.— An oppor- 

 tunity for starting an orchard or planting- even 

 a few select trees is now afforded fruii-growers 

 which does not recur every spring. The great 

 nurseries of Harrison & Sons, of Berlin, Md., 

 have been for several seasons making a spe- 

 cialty of root-graft in tr, and growing of apples 

 with intent to make wide sales in the spring of 

 1''03, and by supplying a superior article in 

 trees secure a vast spread of their trade in a 

 single season. The object sought was to be ob- 

 tained by supplying superior stock w^ith no ad- 

 vance in price. From information we have 

 through other sources than ihe proprietors, a 

 view of the Harrison nurseries light now is a 

 sight to gladden the eye. There are multiplied 

 thousands of trees which, as was the design of 

 the Company, are in the pink of condition for 

 spring planting. Trees coming from this source 

 are always in good health. This spring they 

 are especially clean, smooth and vigorous. 

 Everyone is upon a whole root-graft and the 

 rooting is strong. It was a part of the plan to 

 have every variet.v worthy of attention come in 

 at the same time. Accordingly, over 1(X) vari- 

 eties. Summer, Fall and Winter apples are 

 ready to meet the requirements of growers. 

 The trees are classed for sale and shipping pur- 

 poses as 3% to 5 ft., 4 to t. ft., and 5 to t. ft. As 

 special care has been laken in the production 

 of stock, so it is to be exercised .as well in the 

 packing to the end that every order shall reach 

 the purchaser in the pink of condition. The 

 Harrison people are guaranteeing absolutely 

 safe delivery of this stock anvwhere in the 

 United States. Anything which from any cause 

 arrives in poor condition is to be replaced. A 

 special apple-tree list showing varieties, sizes, 

 etc., has been prepared to send to inquirers 

 about this stock. If you plant even a few trees 

 this spring, don't fail to write for it. Please 

 mention the American Bee Journal whjen 

 writing.
