CITY MARKETS. 



The quotations in this column are based, as nearly 

 as possible, on the larrading- adopted bj' the North 

 American, and are the prices that the commission 

 men g'et, and on which the commission for mailing' 

 the sales is figured. The grading- rules referred to 

 are as follows: 



Fancy.— All sections to be well filled, combs straight, of even 

 thickness, and tirnily attached to all four sides, both wood and 

 comb uusoiled by travel-stain or otherwise; all the cells sealed 

 exi-ept the row of cells next to the wood. 



No. 1.— .\11 sections well tilled, but combs uneven or crooked, 

 detacheil at the bottom, or witli liut few cells unsealed; both 

 wood and i-omb uusoiled by travel-stain or otherwise. 



In addition to tlii- the liouey is to lie classified according to 

 color, using the terms u hite. anil.ei-. and dark. That is, there 

 will be "fancy wliite." ■ Xi>. 1 dark." etc. 



Dealers are expected to ipiote only tliose grades and classiti- 

 cations to be found in their market. 



Boston.— Honey.— Our honey market remains 

 without any special change as to price, but with a 

 trifle better demand. No. 1 comb, ]4@1.5; No. 3, 10®

All Bee=keepers Want =:= 



Good Queens and bees that are Good Workers; 



if thevare gentle and beautiful, so much the better. 

 My Golden Italians "fill the bill." In 1894 this part 

 of Florida had a big honey-How; the three apiaries 

 giving the largest averauc jields (34 to 116 colonies) 

 had a part— one all— of their queens reared by me. 

 Being on a main railroad, and sending queens by 

 return mail, I can get a queen to you pretty quick. 

 Prices for warranted queens: April, Sl.tX); 6 for 

 $4.75; 13 for $8.50. May, 75c; 6 for $4.00; 13 for $7.50. 

 June, 6 for $3.76; 13 for $6.75. Safe arrival guar- 

 anteed. Free circulars. J. B. CASE,
