GLEANINGS IN BEE CULTURE. 



Sept. 15. 



ONE-PIECE SECTIONS. 



We don't propose to be behind in the race to fur- 

 nish the best section honey-boxes at the lowest 

 cost. We are at work on macliines by which we 

 hope to not only reduce the cost of manufacturing- 

 but also to make them all exactly uniform, We 

 have been studying on this for some time, and will 

 reserve further mention till we attain its full real- 

 ization. In the meantime we have toward two mil- 

 lions of sections of different widths and g-rades on 

 hand; and in order to work down this stock we will 

 make special low prices on application. The most 

 of these sections are unsurpassed in color and work- 

 manship. We have the largest stock of 7-to-foot 

 and IJi'-inch, on which we will make extra induce- 

 ments. We have also a large supply of i;i and 1?8 

 cream, which we will sell at or below cost. Write 

 for terms before placing any contract. 



MARKET-GARDENING FOR THE MIDDLE OF SEPTEM- 

 BER. 



Now is the time to put out spinach for fall, win- 

 ter, and spring use. We want to have it get just as 

 large as possible before winter sets in, and not 

 shoot up to seed. As we do not know what tlie 

 weather will be, I would recommend two sowings — 

 say one the 15th and another ten or fifteen days 

 later. If you exjiect to make any money on spin- 

 ach, you want your gnnmd exceedingly rich, and 

 rich away down deep; then you will get leaves as 

 large as small cabbiige-leaves. In this way we get 

 spinach that sold for 1.5 cts per 11). two years ago, 

 in the month of November. This is also the time 

 to sow cabbage-seed to get plants for wintering 

 over in cold-frames; but for the reason given 

 above I think you had better also make two sowings 

 of tlie cabbage-seed. And this is just the time, also, 

 for planting winter onions, if you have ground just 

 cleared ntt tli;it c;in be spared for them. 



We are pleased to tell our friends that we have 

 finally obtained the American Pearl onion-sfte— at 

 least, we have just received one barrel of them. 

 Price 25 cts. per quart; $1.75 per peck; $6.00 per 

 bushel. It wanted by mail, add 10 cts. per quart 

 extra. Tiie seed is not j^et received, but I do not be- 

 lieve it will pay anybody to sow the Keeel in tlie fall. 



I believe there is no Jersey Wakefield cabbage- 

 plant in the world that surpasses our strain, raised 

 by H. A. March. Price 20 cts. per oz.; $2.50 per lb. 

 If wanted by mail, add at the rate of 9 cts. per lb. 

 for postage. VV^e are testing all the different vari- 

 eties of spinach, and at present we give the prefer- 

 ence to the Bloomsdale Extra Cuiled. Oz., 5cts. ; 

 lb., 25 cts.; 5 lbs., $1.(W. If wanted by mail, add as 

 above for postage. If you have a market- for let- 

 tuce during Thanksgiving and Christmas, now is the 

 time to be working at it. You will have to have 

 glass, however, to grow it in tlie open ground fit for 

 Christmas. Notliing that I know of equals the 

 Grand Rapids for this purpose. Price, oz., 2J cts.; 

 lb., $2.25. Perhaps I may say we have tried planting 

 sets of other kinds of onions, in Sejitember, but 

 have had no success worth mentioning with any 

 thing but the American Pearl. Of course, the 

 Egyptian winter onion-sets always succeed every- 

 where. Of these latter we have quite a stock on 

 hand, on which we will make the following low 

 prices for immediate orders: 10 cts. per quart; 65 

 cts. per peck; 1^2.' 5 pet- busliel. If wanted by mail, 

 add 10 cts. per quart for postage. 



Strawbeiiy-plant.s, we are sending out both by 

 mail and t xpress every day. We judge from this 

 tliar oui- friends succeed as we do In planting them 

 out in Septemlier Have your gi'ouiid rich; till the 

 hole, where you put the plant, witli water, at. the 

 time of planting, then pull some di'y earth around 

 the plant to prevent the soil from baking, and we 

 think you will have no tremble in getting them to 

 grow so as to stand the winter. For prices, see 

 page 632 of our issue for August 15.
