GIvEANINGS IN BEE CULTURE. 



strontjtT. neater, ami lioUl better tlian the old fashion- 

 ed kind that oo-l twi- or three limes as much. Thev 

 are so liijlit lh.it we c.iii send them liy mail for only .'5, 

 4, and.'icts respectively. The dimeh^ious are, small- 

 est, -1 in lies; nieilium, '5 inches : largest, (> inches. If 

 I had been the inventor of this kind of i)liers I would 

 swing my liU h'gh in the air and shoiU "Hurrah!" 

 like a scfioolboy. 



Well, judging from pa.st experience we are going to 

 till our fireenhouses mostly with lettuce, as it seems to 

 be most in demand in our market as a winter veg- 

 etable. Waler-crtss may be grown to a limited ex- 

 tent. It is very easy to giow, is not affected by any 

 disease, and will stand quit' a little freezing without 

 injnr>" so if vonr greenhouse is not vei-y warm it will 

 be just right' for water-cre.ss. If yon have a market 

 for ia;1ishes they will go all right along with ]■ ttuce 

 and water-cress' He s\ire you have lettuce-/iA7;//.9 

 enough— too many will not' do any haim. Where 

 your space is limited, belter transpl.mt them at twice. 

 When little plants begin to show the sec md leaf, 

 plant them out with a spacing-board '-Ml. or :i inches 

 apart: tl'.e next time, al out 7 inches from center to 

 centi r. If you have a market fo- green onions they 

 will go nicely with the abovi . A little parsley, which 

 is al.so very lianiy, will be ver\ nice to mix' in with 

 other wint'er sala'ds. And do not fo- get spinach. We 

 have for stveral seasons pa.st sold it at the same price 

 as lettuce, and it is ever so ir.uch easier to grow. For 

 sefds of any of the ab ve, see our fall seed-catalog, 

 mailed freeon application.
