DOES IT PAY TO ADVERTISE IN GLEANINGS? 



Last winter I g-ot a carload of hives. In the lot I 

 g-ot 100 of the A. I. Root Simplicity hives. 1 sent an 

 advertisement to Gleanings, and to two other pa- 

 pers, but I do not know that I e^ot a single return 

 from any but Gleanings. Parties sent for price 

 lists as far south as Texas, west as far as Nebraslia, 

 east as far as Pennsylvania, and north as far as 

 Michigan. Not a single one wanted the 17^8 frame 

 —all wanted the Simplicity hive, or that frame at 

 least, so you see my lUO hives were soon exchanged 

 for bees, in other sorts of hives. J. R. Lindley.

HOW OUR SUPPLIES GIVE SATISFACTION. 



The goods which you shipped to me Aug. 12th 

 came to hand in good condition, and very promptly 

 too. They were at the station within a week after! 

 mailed my order, which is quick work, as they came 

 by freight. I took the extractor, hive, comb-basket, 

 swarmiug-box, and honey-knife to the Crawford 

 Agricultural Society at Conneautville. All took 

 first premium but the honey-knife, which took sec- 

 ond. There were two other hives to compete with 

 yours. The extractor attracted much attention. 

 Very few ever saw an extractor in this part of the 

 country. Geo. Spitler.

CITY MARKETS. 



New York.— 7/o?ic?y.— The market for comb honey 

 is quite active, and demand jio<>d, although price's 

 are gradually shading, owing to the fact of many 

 producers selling their entire crop in this city at 

 very low prices, thereby enabling purchasers to sell 

 below the market. We know of large crops having 

 been sold here at 9wl0c. lor fancy goods. In conse- 

 quence of no honey coming from the west, we can 

 see no reason why good prices should not be obtain- 

 ed, except above stated. Present quotations are as 

 follows: 

 Fancy white comb honey, lib. sections - - 14>^15c 



" 2-lb. " - -nV2<al2%c 



buckwheat " lib. " - - - urn 12c 

 2-lb. " - - - 9(gl0c 

 Off grades, l(g2c per pound less.

Cincinnati.— Hojiej/.-There is a very slow de- 

 mand from manufacturers for extracted honey, 

 with a large supply on the market, while the de- 

 mand is very good for clover honey in square glass 

 jars. Prices for all qualities are low, and range 

 from 4fg8c per lb. on arrival. Supply and demand 

 are fair for choice comb honey in small sections— 

 which brings 12(g>15c. per lb. on arrival. 



Beeswax.— Good yellow is in good demand, and ar- 

 rivals are fair. It brings 20(n22c per lb. on arrival.

 white would sell at 6@8c. Beeswax, very scarce at

Tillinghast's Famous Puget-Sound Cabbage 

 Seeds are being introduced in every section of the 

 country in a novel way. Instead of depending up- 

 on seedsmen to catalogue them, Mr. Tillinghast is 

 appointing some person (usually a cabbage-grower, 

 who knows what good cabbage seeds are), in each 

 town throughout the Union, to act as agent and sell 

 to his neighbors. Parties interested in selling or 

 planting cabbage seeds may learn something to 

 their advantage by addressing Isaac F. Tillinghast,
