GLEANINGS IN BEE CULTURE. 



245 



or high-priced varieties: and for an early potato, on 

 our grounds, we have better success with the New 

 Queen than any other I know of. Of course, we have 

 never tried the Bovee enough to compare it fairly 

 with the New Queen. I presume the Bovee would 

 stand first as an extra early potato. 



Vegetable Peaches. 



Do not think of making garden without planting 

 the new Vegetable Peaches. They succeed every- 

 where, and grow from the seed in 80 days. They are 

 a treasure. 



"Better than peaches 

 for pies and preserves." 

 Mrs. B. F. Moore. 



A Wonderful 



New Fruit. 



A wonder and no mis- 

 take. Everybody should 

 grow them. G. Street. 



Perfectly 



Delicious. 



" Crop yielded over 

 IKX) bushels per acre." 

 B. R. Blackwell. 



Nothing like them unUer the sun. Easy to grow — 

 producing immen.se crops everywhere. May be plant- 

 ed as late as the middle of June.
