GLEANINGS IN BEE CULTURE. 



July 1 



jr l-^i#i«- BUSINESS, MANAGER Y/, 



NEW COMB HONEY. 



We have received our first shipment of new comb 

 honey, consisting of three crates of nice white honey 

 in Danz. sections from Florida. We have customer's 

 waiting for it, so that it goes off promptly at good 

 prices. 



BEESWAX DECLINED. 



We mark down the price which we pay for beeswax 

 to 27 cents cash, 29 in trade, delivered here. Wax is be- 

 ing offered more freely, and at declining prices. As 

 we have reached the close of the season when we use 

 large quantities, and have a good stock, we can not 

 well pay now more than the price likely to be reached 

 in the fall. 



HONEY- PACKAGES. 



With the warm dry weather that is sure to come we 

 may still expect a crop of honey, and yoit will be in 

 need of honey-packages in which to market it. We 

 are well supplied with square cans of 5, 1, 54, and y^ 

 gallon capacity ; also with square jars and No. 25 jars 

 and Mason jars. We have another carload of the two 

 latter styles engaged to come before the present stock 

 is exhausted. If in need of any of these honey-pack- 

 ages, let us hear from you. 



ORDERS FILLED PROMPTLY. 



Within a few days after the last number of Glean- 

 ings was mailed we caught up on orders, and for the 

 last ten days we have been shipping the same day the 

 order was received, or next day, with the exception of 

 two or three items, material for which has been de- 

 layed in reaching us. The cold wet weather has cut 

 the demand for goods down to almost nothing. Most 

 of our dealers and agents report a similar condition. 

 I believe all are now supplied with goods, and are fill- 

 ing orders promptly.
