vor and nutritive properties, sells in Athens 

 at from 37 to 4.5 cents a pound. 



■There is also another kind of honey 

 called rin\mntli. or honey of roses. The col- 

 onies that produce this honey are situated 

 in the province of Carystie. in the Eub(_ea — 

 regions which are covered with wild roses, 

 from which the bees gather honey. 



"The honey produced by the juices of 

 these plants exhales a perfume of roses that 

 is very markt. It is sent principally to 

 Constantinople, where it is sold at a very 

 high price to Turkish families, who use it 

 for cooking, and for seasoning their pastry. 

 Wax is worth from 37 to 4.5 cents a pound. ^'

Insects Fertilizing Ifilossonis. — 



In seven localities in Austria, last year, ex- 

 periments on the fertilizing of fruit-blos- 

 soms were conducted according to a con- 

 certed plan on a variety of trees and 

 shrubs, choosing those that had not borne 

 much the preceding year. In one locality 

 apple-blossoms covered from insects bloom- 

 ed one to three days longer than uncovered 

 ones ; pear-blossoms four to five days 

 longer : and plum-blossoms four to six days. 

 No fruit set on the covered apple-boughs, 

 and less on the covered pear and plum 

 boughs than on the uncovered ones, much 

 of which fell off prematurely. In another 

 locality the experiment was tried on an 

 almond tr*-e, a pear and a cherry, which 

 bore fruit in abundance on the uncovered 

 branches. All the covered blossoms re- 

 mained in bloom longer, but none developt 

 except one of the almond blossoms, appar- 

 ently because it rubbed against the cover- 

 ing, and this withered without a kernel. In 

 the third locality, twocovered apple boughs 

 bloomed three days longer than the others, 

 and no fruit developt, while the uncovered 

 branches bore in abundance. In the other 

 four localities the experiments and results 

 were so similar it is not worth while to 

 mention them particularly. The whole 

 forms a convincing proof that insect aid is 

 necessary to the fruit industry. — Bee-Keep-
