OLD-STYLE NOVICE EXTRACTORS. 



We still have at Syracuse, N. Y., two No. 7 and one 

 No. 10 Novice lionej' extractors, witli old-style Nov- 

 ice gear, which we offer at *6 tm each. They are the 

 same in every respect, except the gearing:, and a 

 bargain at the price. 



We have also a No. 10 extractor with "humpback " 

 gear, at St. Petersburg, Fla., that we will sell f. o. b. 

 there for $7..50. This gear is just as strong and ser- 

 viceable as the new bevel gear; but the crank is on 

 top instead of at the side of tin' can. It was one we 

 made before we adopted the bevel-gear, which we 

 now use exclusively. The supporting arm runs 

 across the can tlie same as on the bevel gear, and the 

 crank-wheel and pinion work on the same plan as 

 the old Novice, but are three or four times as heavy 

 and strong. This is a bargain for some one in the 

 South in need of a machine that will take frames of 

 any size up to 13*4 deep and 19 inches long. 



AUGITE STOVE-MATS. 



It is just six months since we 

 first called tlie attention of our 

 readers to this most valuable 

 household utensil, well nigh in- 

 (lispensalile in cooking properly 

 ;lII kinds of food and 'drink. Dur- 

 ing tills time we have been the 

 means of distributing to the ends 

 of the earth no less than lOli 

 gross, or about 15,000 of these 

 mats. The expressions of plea- 

 sure and satisfaction from those 

 who have used them have come in almost every 

 mail, and are usually accompanied by orders for 

 more for friends; for, having found a good thing, 

 they were not content to keep it to themselves. 

 Having sold so many we are getting a lower price 

 from the manufacturer, and now make a further 

 slight reduction in prices as follows; loc each; 3 for 

 40c; 6 for 7.5c; i:i for $1.40; 3doz., $2.75; 3 doz., $4.00; 

 6doz., $7.50; 13 doz.. $14.00. You pay transportation 

 charges at tliese prices. By mall, 5c each extra for 

 postage. Don't be deceived into buying counter- 

 feits and imitations of these mats at a less price. 

 The augite mat is the original and genuine, and is 

 far superior to all others. We have tried them, and 

 know. 



have; and to move them off before the season closes 

 we offer them, for a limited time, at reduced prices. 

 They are all 4}4x4,^, open top and bottom, and of the 

 following widths: ly-. 1%, 7 to foot, 1%. and lU. 

 The most of them are of the last three widths men- 

 tioned. They are all No. 1 white choice stock, most 

 of them put up in light cases. Prices will be, for 

 1000, $2.75: 2000, $5.00; .5000, $12.00; 10,000 or more, 

 $2.35 per 1000, net cash with the order. 



We still have a surplus of No. 1 cream sections, 

 iUx'iH, I'll, and 1\^, wliich we will continue to sell at 

 $2.00 per 1000; .5000, $9.00; 10,000 for $17.50. No other 

 sizes or styles f urnislied at these special prices. We 

 have been making and shipping our No. 1 white sec- 

 tions, for the past two or three months, at the rate 

 of over a million a month, and they are giving ex- 

 cellent satisfaction^ 



SECOND-HAND FOUNDATION-MACHINES. 



We have here a few more second-hand comb foun- 

 dation mills to dispose of, as follows: 



One 6-inch No. R, hexagonal cell, for thin surplus, 

 nearly new, and in good order; one of our late style 

 of mills. For this we ask $12.00. 



One 6-inch hexagonal mill. No. Z, latest pattern 

 and of recent make, for surplus foundation, 10 or 11 

 feet to the pound. Has been used for a little wliile 

 in our wax-room, and is in good order. Will sell 

 for $12.00. 



One 9inch Dunliam mill. No. V, with round cell, 

 and for heavy brood foundation. This is in good 

 order, and a bargain at $9.tl0. 



One 10-inch old-style Root mill, No. W, with round 

 cell, for medium or heavy brood foundation; has 

 been used almost none; ia pood order, and a good 

 mill for old style. Price $12.00. 



One 12-inch old-style Root mill. No. Y, round cell, 

 with shallow wall; will make foundation 6 or 7 feet 

 to the pound. This also has been used very little; 

 has large rolls and back gear; originally sold for 

 mi.Oi). We offer it now for $15.00. Samples of foun- 

 dation from any of these mills on application. 



w e otter also for sale four of Vandervort's mills, 

 at Syracuse, N. Y., with F. A. Salisbury, which he 

 descrilies as follows: 



One 6-iiieh for thin surplus; not extra good. 



One ti-inch for tliin surplus; in good condition. 



One 13-inch for 5 ft. to lb., tiptop condition. 



One 12-inch for 7 to 8 ft. to lb., tiptop condition. 



These will be sold at low prices, in oi-der to dispose 

 of them, as Mr. Salisbury no longer makes founda- 

 tion, but furnishes that of our make. For prices, 

 samples, or further particulars in i-egard to these 

 mills, write direct to F. A. Salisburv, Syracuse, N. Y. 

 The first should be worth $8 0o; the second, $11.00; 

 and the last two, $18.00 to $20.00 each, and are doubt- 

 less cheap at these figures. 



SAFETY BICYCLES. 



We now have a supply of catalogues to send 

 promptly to all applicants, together with special 

 prices, which are an inducement for you to place 

 your orders with us. If there is any other make of 

 wheels that you prefer to the Lovell Diamond, we 

 can secure it for you. We hardly believe, from what 

 we have seen of different makes (and we h ive ex- 

 amined many), that you will get better value for 

 your money anywhere than in the Lovell Diamond. 



A GOOD BICYCLE CHEAP. 



We have just come in possession of a 'Victor spring- 

 fork cushion-tire Safety bicycle. It has been used 

 comparatively little, and is in fine order, all nickel 

 parts being bright, bearings and all moving parts 

 of the machine being as perfect as when it came out 

 of the shop. It is second only to the pneumatic- 

 tired Lii cycle, with this in its favor— tire will give 

 no anxiety or care. It cost originally $135.00; and, 

 indeed, the same to-day could not be purchased at 

 the factory for less than that figure. Desiring to 

 dispose of it quick, we will let it go for $65, provid- 

 ing the cash accompanies the order. As this is a 

 bargain you will have to write quick if you wish to 

 avail yourself of this offer. 



CHOICE ONE-PIECE SECTIONS CHEAP. 



In looking over our stock we find a larger quanti- 

 ty of the narrower width of sections than we care to 



VEGETABLE-PLANTS MAY 15. 



We are finally up with a good supply of almost 

 every thing, unless it is J^rizetaker onions; and we 

 have got these if you can use those which are pretty 

 small. We have two or three thousand, more or less, 

 extra large strong Palmetto asparagus-roois. These 

 were taken up and put in a good cool cellar, just as 

 they commenced to start. When thej- are held back 

 in this way they can be p anted anj- time in May, 

 and even up to June 1. These were t iken up in or- 

 der to clear off a piece of ground; and under the 

 circumstances we offer them for 60 cts per 100, or 

 $5.00 per 1U(X), until they are sold. The roots are, the 

 greater part of them, so large and strong that it will 

 cost about 40 cts. per 100 for postage, if they are 

 wanted by mail. We have a full stock of all kinds 

 of cabbage -plants, celery - plants, lettuce -plants, 

 pepper- plants, and sweet- potato plants. As our 

 strawberries, where the blossoms were kept off, have 

 already commenced to send out runners, we expect 

 to have strawberrj'-plants ready also some time in 

 June— that is, a limited numberof them. Of onion- 

 plants we have a good supply of Yellow Danvers, 

 Wliite Victoria, and American Pearl. The Ameri- 

 can Pearl are the largest of any we have in stock, 

 and they will probably give theearliest large onions, 

 of pearly whiteness, of any of the new varieties. 

 For prices of any of the above, see our seed and 

 plant catalogue, which we are glad to mail to any on 

 application. 



STRAWBERRY-PLANTS AT PHESBNT DATE. 



We are about sold out of all varieties we have ad- 

 vertised, except Warfield No. 2. We can ship nice 

 strong plants at 75c per 100, or $6.00 per 1000; if want- 

 ed by mail add 3.5c per 100 for postage.
