Field Peasthatbeae Honey! 



OoR readers have doubtless noticed the many re- 

 ports we have had of honey from peai during the 

 past year or two. We have .iust received a large lot 

 of them for seed, from friend Burrows, of Lynnville, 

 Tenn., who writes in regard to them as follows: 

 '• These stock peas, so celebrated for honey, should 

 be planted in June, and will make a continuous flow 

 of honey from August to frost, and a heavv crop of 

 peas." Price $1.75 per bushel; Sl.OOfor half a bushel; 

 60 cts. per peck, packages iacluded. By mail, post- 

 paid. 20 cts. per pint. If sown in July, they will give 

 a crop of honey, but may not mature the peas.

Names of responsible parties will be Inserted In 

 any of the following departments, at a uniform 

 price of 30 cents each insertion, or $2.00 per year. 



$1.00 Queens. 



Names inseri^d in this depaHment the first time with- 

 >mt charge. After, 20c each iiisertion, or $2,00 per year. 



Those whose names appear below agree to furnish 

 Italian queens for $1,00 each, under the following 

 conditions: No guarantee is to be assumed of purity, 

 or anything of the kind, only that the queen be reared 

 from a choice, pure mother, and had commenced to 

 lay when they were shipped. They also agree to re- 

 turn the money at any time when customers become 

 impatient of such delay as may be unavoidable. 



Bear in mind that he who sends the best queens, 

 put up most neatly and most securely, will probably 

 receive the most orders. Special rates for warranted 

 and tested queens, furnished on application to any 

 of the parties. Names with *, use an imported queen 

 mother. If the queen arrives dead, notify us and 

 we will send .you another. Probably none will be 

 sent for $1.00 before July 1st, or after Nov. If want- 

 ed sooner, or later, see rates in price list.
