GLEANINGS IN BEE CULTURE. 



149 



LITTLE PINE BOARDS AT A BARGAIN. 



We have constantly accumulating", strips- of clear 

 pine, plump 3^4 laches wide, M inch thick, and 16 

 inches long-, wtiich we have no use for. If we were 

 obliged to make them they would cost perhaps a 

 cent apiece. As we have no special use for them 

 we will sell them for ~5 cents a hundred while they 

 last. Jn ordering- goods by freight you can have 

 some of them put in if you choose. 



ALSIKE clover. 



We make the following reduction in the price of 

 the above: One ounce, by mail, 5 cts.; one pound, 

 by mail, postpaid, 25 cts. By express or freight, 

 one pouna, 15 cts.; one peck, i?! iU; '^ bushel, $'6 60; 

 bushel, S^T.tO. The above is lor seed carefully clean- 

 ed with the best mill made for tlie purpose, run by 

 power. Not a pound goes out without careful in- 

 spection in regard to the seeds of weeds and dan- 

 gerous plants. The above prices include bag for 

 shipping. 



COLD-FRAME CABBAGE-PLANTS. 



We have perhaps the handsomest lot of these 

 (friend March's Early .Jersey Waketleld stucfc seed) 

 that we ever had at this season of the year. The 

 seed was sown in September, and the plants have 

 been frozen up solid over and over again, so they 

 are thoroughly hardened. Price: 10 cents for 10; 

 75 cts. per lUO; $6 00 per lOiO. If wanted by mail, 

 add 5 cts. for 10; 25 cts. for 100, extra, for postage. 

 Seedling cabbage-plants from seeds sown in Janua- 

 ry, 30 cts. per 100, or $1..')0 per 1000. If wanted by 

 mail, add 10 cts. per 100. or 50 cts. per 1000 for post- 

 age. Lettuce-plants at the same prices. For trans- 

 planted plants, see our seed catalogue. 



THE NEW HOT-BED SASH MADE OF GLASS SLATS. 



At this date, Feb. 13, lettuce-plants, cabbage and 

 cauliflower plants, have come up and are growiug 

 beautifully under these sash, which have not been 

 moved at o;i since the seeds were planted: neither 

 has any covering been placed over the glass, al- 

 though the thermometer has run down to 16 above 

 zero. Ot course, the single steam-pipe about two 

 feet below the surface of the bed has helped mate- 

 rially to keep away the frost; but even if ((u7/i the 

 use of a steam-pipe we can do away with the man- 

 ipulation of sash in the month of February, I think 

 it quite an invention. 



JAPANESE BUCKWHEAT. 



A great many offers of seed have been received, 

 in quantities varying from ten bushels to several 

 hundred. The prices wanted for ([uantities, run 

 from 60 cts. to fl.50. The expense of transporta- 

 tion, of course, accounts for a great part of the 

 wide difference in prices. It seems pretty bard to 

 sell our seed at less than what it cost cash r ght 

 out; but until further notice our prices will be as 

 follows: Trial packet, 4 ounces, by mail, postpaid, 

 5 cts.; one pound, by mail, postpaid, 15 cts.; one 

 peck, ;55 cts.; f^' bush., 60c.: hush., $1.00. These prices 

 include bag to ship it in. Ten or more bushels, pur- 

 chaser paying for bags, 75 cts. Please note, we 

 can not promise to hold to these prices except from 

 one issue to another. The price is liable to advance 

 by our next issue. Please also notice, that small 

 quantities, say a peck or half a bushel, can't be 

 sent any distance, either by maiUfreiijM, or express, 

 without the transportation being more than the 

 value of the buckwheat: and at the above low 

 price it can not very well be sent by rxpreas, any 

 way you can fix it, without the charges being more 

 than its value; therefore your only plan is to order 

 it by freight along with other goods. If you take 

 several bushels, of course it can be shipped by it- 

 self by freight. Remember, our need is carefully 

 cleaned by one of the best power mills. 



Black and Hybrid Queens For Sale. 



For the benefit of friends who have black or hybrid queens 

 which they want to dispose of, we will insert notices free of 

 charpe, as below. We do this becnuse there is hai-dly value 

 enouffh to these queens to pay for buying them up and keep- 

 ing them in stock; and yet it is oftentimes quite an accommo- 

 dation to tho"e who can not afford higher-priced ones. 



JIONEY (J6MJIN. 



CITY MARKETS. 



Albany.— Honey.— Since last issue we have re- 

 ceived eighty cases of Vermont clover and 30 cases 

 of New York buckwheat honey, and have sold 

 about an equal quantity. There is no change to 

 note in prices, and stock of line white honey is 

 quite small. We look for a good demand for ex- 

 tracted honej' all through this mouth. We quote 

 comb honey: Clover. ]3@14; mixed, 10(513; buck- 

 wheat, 9((7!lO; extracted, clover, 7(5*8; buckwheat,
