242 South Front St., Philadelphia, Pa. 



St. Louis. — Honei/.— There is no improvement in 

 the honey-market. Some inquiry from outside 

 parties for round lots, but at lower prices than 

 holders seem willing to accept. Comb honey, 10@13, 

 as to quality and size of package. Extracted, clover,

 fair. Blake & Ripley, 



Dec. 34, 1886. 57 Chatham St., Boston, Mass. 



Cincinnati.— Honejy.— There is a quiet tone pre- 

 vailing, although demand is fair for choice comb 

 and extracted honey in small packages; manufac- 

 turers buy sparingihgly only. Our city has large 

 supplies of all kinds of honey from both sides of 

 the Rocky Mountains, and still lower prices may be 

 expected just as soon as commission merchants are 

 obliged to reaHze. The range of prices for extract- 

 ed honey Ts 3(gjTc on arrival. Choice comb honey 

 brings 13(&l,5c in a jobbing way. 



Dec. 31, 1686. Chas. F. Muth & Son, 



Cincinnati, Ohio. 



Chicago.— Hodci/.— Dull; offerings continue to in- 

 crease, and, in consequence, prices are easy; sales

 12@l3c for selections. Extracted, without sales to 

 quote from. Beeswax, 23@2.5c.

 very slow. B^csuii/.r, 33c. M. H. Hunt. 



Dec. 24, 1886. Bell Branch, Mich. 



Philadelphia.— J/onf?/.—This is a poor market, 

 .owing to the competition of glucose mixtures. 

 White clover sells at 12;o 14c in glass cases. Beeswax, 

 if choice, is worth 34T/25c. Sam'l S. Daniels,

The "Boss" ONE-PIECE SECTIONS. 



Patented June 28, 1881. 

 IITHILE attending the North-American Bee-Keep- 

 Vt ers' Convention at Indianapolis, we learned 

 there was a rumor afloat that the Patent on the 

 ONE-PIECE SECTION had been set aside— circulat- 

 ed by unprincipled parties, to mislead bee-keepers. 

 "We would say in regard to this, that such is not the 

 case. It is now before the LT. S. Supreme Court, at 

 Washington, and will probably be decided before a 

 great while, when we will notify all through the 

 Bee Journal. Until then pay no attention to ru- 

 mors. 



Before ordering write us for prices. We will fur- 

 nish you sections as cheap as the cheapest. Let us 

 hear from vou before you order. Address

Having expended 

 thousands of dol- 

 lars in bringing be- 

 fore the people one 

 of the most won- 

 derful honey-pro- 

 d u c i n g plants 

 known in the Unit- 

 ed States, or even 

 in the world, and 

 testing it honestly 

 and fairly, I wish 

 to say, through 

 Gleanings, that 

 the seed contains 

 so much oil that 

 nothing but fresh 

 seed will grow for 

 this reason ; and by 

 ,-1. V "^ wx the advice of many 



£m -^1 r^wW i prominent bee- 



Wu ^^y -^3 Jb^ keepers I have de- 



Tj^ "jIb^B '-mjt . cided to sell the 



' ""^ '' ■ -^^^ limited amount of 



seed I have raised 

 this season, at the 

 following prices. I 

 will send to those 

 who have already 

 ordered the amount 

 of seed due them 

 at this low price: 

 V% ounce, 50 cts.; 1 

 ounce, Sl.OO; 3 

 ounces, fb.'iO; 4 ounces, $3.00; 8 ounces, .f3.00; 

 1 pound, J<5.00. One ounce contains from 1600 

 to 1800 seeds. The seed should be sown in early 

 spring, and general directions for cultivation will 

 be given on each package. Write all orders plainly, 

 and give your postoffice in full.
