GLEANINGS IN BEE CULTURE. 



Dec. 15 



new thing; but let the experiment stations 

 test it first. We are told by those who are 

 unbiased that the apple is hardly average in 

 quality, that it has quite a little core in all 

 specimens, and in some one or more seeds. 

 A newspaper clipping has been sent me that 

 seems to have come from the Toledo Blade, 

 from which I extract the following : 



The seedless apple was produced by John F. Spencer. 

 He has been growing- trees for seven years in an experi- 

 mental way, which have been examined by the Depart- 

 ment of Agriculture, at Washington, and pronounced 

 not only a seedless and coreless apple, but an entirely 

 new species of apple. 



Now, although the above does not say the 

 apple is of good quality, it would be inferred; 

 and we should be very glad to know if the 

 Department at Washington has really given 

 it the above indorsement. Appearances at 

 present would indicate it may ultimately be 

 classed with mushroom and ginseng grow- 

 ing, so much advertised to help poor men 

 and women earn money at home.
