GLEANINGS IN BEE CULTURE. 



June 



POTATO-BOXES 



(TERRY'S). 

 These are made of 

 basswood, bound with 

 galvanized iron. The 

 Kalvanized iron gives 

 strength, and the 

 basswood strength 

 and lightness. These 

 liold exactly a bushel 

 when level full, and 

 may be piled one on 

 top of another. Al- 

 though they arc made especially for potatoes, they 

 can be used for fruit, vegetables, picking up stones 

 on the farm, and a thousand other purpose^.. When 

 piled one above the other, they protect the contents 

 from the sun and rain; and from their shape k 

 great many more bushels can be set into a wagon 

 than where baskets are used. They are also much 

 more substantial than baskets. 



Price 25 c each ; 10, $3.2.5; 100, *30.00. In the fiat, 

 inchiding nails and galvanized iron, $1.75 for 10; 

 100, $16..50; lOai, $150.
