It is printed on good paper, and some excellent illustrations from photographs are given. A Dorset Yarn, I ventured last week to write of lines of gooseberries for marketing fruits and food for bees when in blossom, but did not state that the time to plant was October to March, but cuttings should all be in by the end of the year. If inserted in the soil in November nearly every one will root and develop. We have some where the lower buds were removed at the time of insertion, only three or four buds left on the top; these make plants from beneath which it is easy to clean out weeds. Any small piece will grow, and without taking out the base buds beneath the soil; these soon grow into huge trees, by sending up strong growths from the base, which will give off plenty of flowers for the bees, with plenty of green fruit for early sale. It is the same with black currants. Any small pieces will grow into fine fruit- ing bushes in two or three yeai-s; the latter gives off some of the finest berries, which always find a ready sale and realise good prices. One small plot of an acre of Baldwyn's Black Champion gave eleven dozen the first year of picking, thirty dozen the next year, and each year since sixty to ninety dozen have been gathered. Then look at the flowers for the bees; even though they do not work these so asiduouisly as the gooseberries, they are with them the whole time they are in bloom. Korner says it is " principally the hive bee," but we have the big bumble bee, Bombus Tcrrestris, on them even up till late in evening, when our bees have gone to their hive'^ ho
