We have a large stock of both comb and extracted 

 honey that can not be excelled in quality. If any of

 naming quantity you can use. We offer the comb 

 honey, 24 or 42 sections to the case, net weight about

TWO MORE BOOKS BY THE AUTHOR OF THE STORY 

 OF THE BIBLE. 



We have just putin stock the two following books, 

 which will mase excellent additions to any library, 

 public or private. The Story of Bible Animals, by 

 J. G. Wood, is just the same size us the Story of the 

 Bible, 704 pages and 300 illustrations. It is a de- 

 scription of the habits and uses of every living 

 creature mentioned in the Scriptures, with explana- 

 tions of the passages in which reference is made to 

 them. Price $1.50, postpaid, or $1.30 by freight or 

 express with other goods. 



Bible Pictures, and What They Teach Us, is a 

 handsomely bound book, 8>4xl0 in size, 232 pages, 

 312 illustrations, with descriptions by Chas. Foster. 

 An agent, who has had large experience in selling 

 books of different kiud6, says none sell as readily as 

 this. Price $1.50, postpaid. Parties wanting a quan- 

 tity will please write us for prices. 



MANUAL OF PHONOGRAPHY, AND OTHER GOOD 

 BOOKS. 



It is not alone garden-seeds, but a good many 

 other things, that lie on our shelves and get out of 

 date, if we don't look out. By "we" I mean us 

 store-keepers. We found in our vault, where we 

 keep our books, 20 copies of the " Eclectic Manual 

 of Phonography," by Elias Longlej T . Our stenogra- 

 pher says these are admirable helps in this branch 

 of phonography, which is known the world over as 

 Pitmanic. Now, the price of the books is $1.00, and 

 1 think they cost us 75 cts.; but if anybody wants 

 one he can have it for 40 cts. If sent by mail, 6 cts. 

 extra. The book was published in 1882. 



We also have 40 copies of W. W. Rawson's little 

 book, "Celery and its Cultivation." We regard it 

 as the best authority, and I have taken pains to 

 read carefully all of the pamphlets that have been 

 published. By some mistake they received only an 

 editorial notice, and never got into our catalogue. 

 The price is 15 cts.; by mail, 16. It tells all about 

 putting up celery for winter. 



There is just one more book that does not sell- 

 Household Conveniences— published by O. Judd & 

 Co. The price is $1.40; by mail, $1.50. The book is 

 full of valuable illustrations, and it ought to make 

 a beautiful present for any housekeeper. Do you 

 know any housekeepers around in your neighbor- 

 hood? Well, you may have the book for an even 

 dollar; by mail, 10 cts. extra.
