The prices given in the following quotations 

 are those at which the dealers sell to the gro- 

 cers. From these prices must be deducted 

 freight, cartage and commission- the balance 

 being sent to the shipper. Commission is ten 

 per cent.; except that a few dealers charge only 

 five per cent, when a shipment sells for as much 

 as one hundred dollars. 



CHICAGO, 111.— While small fruits are on the 

 market so freely, the demand for comb honey is 

 somewhat limited. However, fancy white will 

 sell at 15; extracted, as to package and (luality, 

 from 7 to ii]/2-

I have had 15 years' experience in producing 

 honey and rearing queens, and I am breeding 

 queens from a queen that I got last spring from 

 J. !•". Mclntvre ol Sespe, Cat. He describes this 

 .stock on page 12 of Gleanings for June i, as fill- 

 ing the supers when other bees were starving. 

 The drotiesin my yard are from excellent stock — 

 such as that of J. P. Moore of Kentucky. I rear 

 queens by the Doolittle plan, send them by re- 

 turn maii, and guarantee safe arrival, purity of 

 mating, and satisfaction, at 50 cts each, in any 

 quantity. Money refunded if queens are not sat- 

 isfactory. Send "for circular.
