OUR NEW LOW-PRICED SASHES FOR COLD-FRAMES, 

 HOT-BEDS, AND MOVABLE-SASH GUEENHOUSES. 



With the above we give you a cut of our Tiew light 

 hot-bed sash, liolh made up and in the tlat. It all 

 goes together with screws, and cati thus be shipped 

 very cheaply in the tlat at low rates for freight. We 

 are using these sash every day right along with 

 others that weigh twice as niucli, and cost as much 

 again; and we sliould mucli prefer the light cheap 

 sash, even if the heavy ones were offered us at the 

 same price. For prices see page y~5, Nov. 1. 



THE FUMA, OR BISULPHIDE OF CAHBON. 



The advertisement of this, which appears in our 

 present issue, is surely the greatest thing in the 

 way of an insecticide that lias yet been discoveied. 

 We liave re leatedly mentioned its wonderful i>rop- 

 erty i>f liilling the weevil in beans and peas. 'even 

 before they have eai en through the seed. Recent 

 investigations by our experiment stations and 

 others have shown that it is the cheapest and most 

 effective remedy for almost every insect or animal 

 pest tliat afHIcts the farmer or liorticuliuiist. We 

 used to pay 40 or 50 cts. a. pound for the drug; but it 

 is now offered in quantitie'^ for less thin ojie fourth 

 that i)rice. There should b(» no excuse novv for hav- 

 ing insects, rats or mice, in our houses, biru'-, cel- 

 lars, granaries, or anywhere else It is not often 

 that we give so much sp.icc toward helping an ad- 

 vertiser; but this is a recent product of unusual 

 me I it. 



ALFALFA HONEY. 



Since our last is-^ue we have received from Keno. 

 Nev., a c.irload of choice alfalfa honey consisting 

 of over 800 24-lb. cases of comb honey. ](i4 cases of 

 two .'i-gallon ratis. and "8 cases of six l-Siillon cans 

 of extracted honey. The larger part of the comb 

 honey has already been sold. It Is very white and 

 •choice As the honey-flow was cut oft' suddenly by 

 frost, there are a good many unfinished sections. 

 These we liiive put into cases by themselves, and 

 should be glad to hi'ar from any who can use such 

 honey in considerable quantities All tlte honey, 

 ■even in these unfinished sections, is very thick and 

 heavy, and as delicious to the taste as the finest 

 honey ever gathered. We offer choice comb honey 

 at 18 cts. per lb. Lots of 9 case.s, crated for safe 

 shli>raent, bj' freight, hoc. The No 3, or unfinished 

 sections, 3c per lb less. The extracted honey in 5- 

 gallon cans we offer at 8c per lb. by the case of 2 

 cans: 7'4c in 2 case lots: 7c in 5 case lots or over. 



White-sage, honey at the same price. Clover and 

 ■basswood, and Michigan willow-herb honey, '/4c per 

 lb. extra. 



Al''alfa honey in 1-gallon c>ns. at flP5each; $fi.00 

 per case of ti; two cases, $11 30; 5 cases, $26. .")0. 



CARLOAD ORDERS. 



We have received, during the past few days, orders 

 for four ctirloads of bee-keepers' supplies. One is 

 for export to Sydney, Austr. ; another, consisting 

 chiefly of sections for export to England, and two 

 carloads for Barteldes & Co., Denver, Colo In these 

 two cars are 8000 shipping-cases— sufficient to case 

 '90 tons of comb honey. We have already sent to 

 Colorado this year a good many thousiind cases, and 

 the bee-keepei s there have evidently secured a good 

 crop of honey this year. We are also expecting 

 daily an order for a carload of goods to Portland, 

 •Oregon, for Buell Laniberson, our agent for Oregon 

 and Washington. We liave the assurance of a car- 

 load order fi-om McClure Bros., Las Cruces, New 

 Mexico, and recommend al' our readers in- that sec- 

 tion of country, who are in need of supplies for 



next season, to communicate with these parties, 

 who can save you money liecause of what they save 

 by getting tlie goods out in car lots.
