 in this column. Make up your orders early, and take 

 advantage of leisure time iii winter to get your ^iip 

 plies all ready for the bees when the spring rush comes. 



HONEY MARKET. 



A carload of comb honey from the West had just ar- 

 rived as we were ,going to press with the last i,ssu':-. 

 \A'e have since shipped several tons out of tliis car. 

 It is packed in single-tier cases of 24 sections each, 

 with a wood slide in the place of glas. The honey is 

 ven,' thick and of heavy body, and sections well scrap- 

 ed. In lots of 10 cases and upward we are selling fan- 

 cy at If), and No. 1 at 15 cents. We have also a good 

 stock of eastern comb honey of various grades In- 

 quiries solicited from those wanting honey, either 

 comb or extracted. We are having a good trade in 

 the latter, and .solicit offers of amber, with .samples. 

 .State how put up, and price asked. We have a good 

 supply of clover and bnsswood and white sage ; have 

 also several lots of buckwheat. We need some af an 

 intermediate grade. 



SEED POTATOES FOR 1902. 



On page fi.'fi, Aug. 1, I gave prices on seed potatoes 

 for planting in 1902 as follows: y, peck, 35 cts.; peck, 

 .50 cts.: i-^ bushel. 85 cts.; bu.shel, fl."0 ; barrel, «4.00. 

 ••mall seconds, half the above prices. I have been 

 watching quotations since then, and no reliable seeds- 

 man has made anv better prices. Our potatoes are 

 now all dug and sifelv scored away; but we will ship 

 them the remainder of this month at our risk against 

 frost, at the above fig ires ; or we will keep them safe- 

 ly for you till next spring in our specially arranged 

 potato-cellar. We can furnish, at the above prices. 

 White Bliss Triumph, Karlv Ohio, Bovee, ,>-ir Walter 

 Raleigh, New Russet, and Crai.g. >s our supply of 

 many is limited, you had better order at once if you 

 want them. Seed potatoes, especially the earlies and 

 extra earlies, are likely to be away up before another 

 spring. Our seconds will probably all be gone very 

 soon at the above low figures.
