GLEANINGS EN BEE CULTURE. 



Mab. 



gPECIj^L ]S[01fICEg. 



MAMMOTH SWEET COIiN. 



We hiive raised such si fine cn^p of this seed, 

 which has heeii carefully drU d Ii.n steam heat, and 

 kept warm aud dry. even up to the present time, 

 that we are prepared to make the I ol lowing- low 

 rates on it until the seed is <xhausleil: 1 pint, 5c.; 

 pecli, 7uc. ; 'o hushel, $l.;i5; one liushel, ^:J.:25. It 

 wanted by mail, add 1.5e per pin!. 



KKX)L'CTI()N IN THK IMUL'K OF WIIITK DUTCH CLO- 

 Vf.K-.-KEl). 



Wk have reduced the price of white Dutch clover- 

 seed to *1U per bushel; ^h.M lor 'j bushel; $:j Oil per 

 peck; ^2 cents per pound. 'I'his is one of the staple 

 honey-plants, and we take pleasure in giving- you 

 the aliove prices for the seed, which is much lower 

 than AVe have ever furnished it before. 



THE WAKNICK CHAIN AND SCKEW ATTACHjMENT 

 KOK SAW-TABLES. 



We have received so many inquiries in regard to 

 this improvement on saw-tables lor hive-making-, 

 illustrated in Feb. loth Gr.EANtNCs, page 154, that 

 we write this to let you know we can furnish the 

 attachment, with 10 feet of chain complete, for f 5.0(1. 

 This can be attached to almost any saw-table, and 

 will greatly aid you in keeping- your guage set in 

 the right place. 



THE LADIES' FRIEND AND GOSHEN CARPETS WEEP- 

 ERS 



Uy a misunderstanding- with the manufacturers, 

 we have ottered the above at a less price than we 

 ought to have done. Hereafter the Ladies' Friend 

 will be $2.00, and the Goshen sweeper $3.00 each. 

 On two sweepers, however, we will allow a discount 

 of 5 per cent; three sweepers, 10 per cent; six 

 sweepers, 20; and for twelve sweepers, 33}'j per cent. 

 The orders may be made up of either kind or both. 

 The World sweeper will be sold for igl.SO. 



MAPLE SYRUP. 



We have now in stock toward 100 g-allons of the 

 finest maple syrup I believe we ever handled. A 

 part of it is made with the ordinary boiling-pans, 

 and another part by the improved evaporators, such 

 as Prof. Cook describes. As there are some people 

 who prefer syrup made in the old way, we have de- 

 cided to put the price at the same figure; viz., $1.10 

 per gallon, packa^ge included. In lots of 5 gallons 

 or more, to be shipped in our 5-g-allou cans for ship- 

 ping- honey, .$1.00 per gallon, package included; 10 

 g-allons, 5 percent oft'; 100 gallons, 10 per cent off. 

 Samples of both will Ije mailed free of charge on 

 application. Each can will have our label, and the 

 label of the owner of the sugar-bush where it was 

 made. As each man is anxious to build up a trade 

 on the quality of his syrup, they are all going to tr.v 

 hard to see who can furnish the best. We have 

 also in stock 



PINE MAPLE SUGAR, 



Put tip in four grades— 7, 8, 9, and 10 cts. per lb. 

 In boxes of about 50 lbs., 'i cent less than the above 

 prices; in barrels of about 350 lbs., one cent less 

 than the above prices. 



A NEW BOOK ON MARKET-GARDENING. 



W. W. Rawson, of Arlington, Mass., has just put 

 out a nice little book, " Success in Market-Garden- 

 ing-, and Vegetable-Grower's Manual." It is a book 

 of "208 pages, and very fully illustrated. You will 

 remember, that it was Mr. Rawson's establishment 

 1 visited last summer. While quite a portion of the 

 book is, in many respects, similar to Peter Hender- 

 son's Gardening for Profit, there is a good deal in 

 it that has never appeared in any other work. For 

 instance, Mr. Rawson is the first man of whom 1 

 know who has made irrig-ation a success and a pay- 

 ing investment, in the Kastern States. He is truly 

 a market-gardener on a large scale, and probably 

 has more capital invested in the business, and sends 

 a larger product to market, than any other one 

 man in the world. The book ought to be worth all 

 it costs, to any one in the business, no matter how 

 well he may be posted, because it enables him to 

 compare these methods and results with his own. 



The price is only $1.00, postpaid, by mail. If want- 

 ed by freight or express, we can furnish it for an 

 even 90 cents. The work is exceedingly practical. 

 Mr. Rawson tells us what he has done and what he 

 is doing, and not a rehearsal of matter alrei-idy to 

 be found in other books. There is nothing- in the 

 book that hiis been copied from othei- writers.
