Honey Wanted.— Wiite to 



Chas. S. Strong, Plymouth, Ohio. 



Wanted.— Ten thousand cases buckwheat honey, 

 iu 25 to 30 ib. cases, and about 3 .,-lb. sections, well 

 tilled, in paper or pasteboard boxes. Will not sell 

 less than 12 to 13c per lb. any year. We can never 

 fill all our orders for such, as no bee-keeper uses 

 the same style section and case, which curtails the 

 demand for honey, as orders cau seldom be dupli- 

 cated. Such selling now at 13c per lb. All bee- 

 keepers should use this size section.
