say'about four, placed about three feet 

 apart from each other in semi-circular 

 form, each clump being- about 18 feet 

 apart. The planting must be deter- 

 mined by the nature of the soil ; if 

 hard and stony, holes must be dug for 

 each plant, or for the clump, to a depth 

 of say 18 inches ; the plants carefully 

 let down to the first leaf-shoots, and 

 then tenderly filled around with mellow 

 soil, leaving a basin around each about 

 six inches deep for the first year, to re- 

 ceive the early rainwater. The second 

 year gently rake in the loose soil and 

 leaves, etc. If the soil be soft and free 

 for the plow, a subsoil plow may be 

 run the full length of intended grove 

 or fringe, making two close furrows, 

 into which plant and fill around with 

 mellow soil as in the dug holes. 



Much hardier plants than the two 

 named must be used in and around 

 Chicago, which I will be pleased to 

 name for the guidance of any bona-fide 

 enquirer. Dr. J. McLean.

Xlie State of .Micliigan wbicb in 

 years past has contributed so much mate- 

 rial towards the building and furnishing of 

 our homes, is coming to the front very 

 rapidly as the choicest and surest seed sup- 

 ply of the country. Fruit, celery and pota- 

 toes have been their staples, but one enter- 

 prising man, Harry N. Hammond, of Fi- 

 field, is making a great reputation by the 

 most excellent quality of his field, garden 

 and flower seeds. Mr. Hammond will be 

 remembered by the stir be created last year 

 with bis Admiral Dewey Potato. Its suc- 

 cess was so instant that it is probably the 

 most popular potato to-day with those who 

 always get a " little better " than market 

 prices for their produce because it grades 

 above the average. This season Mr. Ham- 

 mond is scoring another success with bis 

 Tborobred White Dent Corn. His new Czar 

 of Russia Oats also is destined to be gener- 

 ally popular. Write Mr. Hammond to day 

 for a copy of his free catalog which is pro- 

 fusely illustrated, and describes the above 

 and hundreds of other equally notable bar- 

 gains and prize offers. Please mention the

Later. — It has just occurred to me 

 that I omitted to state in my letter in 

 reply to Mr. Macleod, regarding the 

 time that the eucalyptus named by me 

 blooms. They commence to bloom 

 about the middle of February, and con- 

 tinue for about three months. Sun- 

 flowers may be planted between the 

 clumps in a grove, for the bees to work 

 on at any time, said flowers therein 

 planted become changed to somewhat 

 resemble the eucalypti odor and medici- 

 nal quality. J. M. 



Bees Getting Along Nicely. 



My bees are getting along nicely in 

 the cellar, by what I can read. I 

 bought two fine colonies last spring, 

 and put five in the cellar. Last year 

 was not a very good one for the bee- 

 keeper, but this j'ear may be pretty 

 good. There is nothing like keeping 

 up one's courage. You know an Irish- 

 man always " tries again."

Fine Rain, but Too Late. 



We have just had a fine rain amount- 

 ing to an inch, which will materially 

 help growing grain, but the bee-inter- 

 ests seem to be almost beyond help so 

 far as getting much profit out of the 

 business this j'ear. The warm, dry 

 weather of January and February 

 brought the sage forward prematurely, 

 and I think destroyed the hope of get- 

 ting much nectar from those splendid 

 honey-producing plants. With out 

 average amount of rainfall this month, 

 and some iti April, most bees will prob- 

 ably pull thru in fair condition, but as 

 for there being much honey to spare 

 from this part of the State this year, 

 I for one do not believe it.
