GLEANINGS IN BEE CULTURE.

5PEClAb^N0T^'CEs BY 



PROPOLIS WANTED. 



H. F. Schultz, 86 Court St., Bcston, Mass., desires to 

 purchase about 5 lbs. of propolis, as free from beeswax 

 as possible. As we have none for sale we refer this to 

 our readers. But do not send any without writing 

 first, stating how much you have, and the price want- 

 ed; for he might get many times the amount he need- 

 ed to supply his requirements, and would refuse to 

 accept or pay for it. 



BUSINESS BOOMING. 



Orders continue to arrive in goodly volume, so that 

 we are still kept busy making and shipping, with little 

 opportunity yet for making up much reserve stock. 

 In carload shipments we are 12 to 15 ahead of any 

 previous year at the present date. The indications 

 are that, as soon as the temperature moderated, and 

 there were days without rain, the flow of honey was 

 very heavy, so that it bids tair to be a good season, as 

 nearlv as can be judged at this writing There are 

 very few orders which we do not ship within 21 to 48 

 hours from the time received. 



SPECIAL OFFER ON HONEY-CANS. 



As a special inducement to reduce stock, we offer at 

 the following prices, for shipment from Medina only, 

 some ^. 14. and 1 gallon square cans. Some have 1}{- 

 inch cap, some 1^-inch, some l4:J-inch, and some 2ii(- 

 inch. Packed 100 in a crate, we will sell J^'-gallon at 

 56.50, ^-gallon at J7.50, and 1-gallon at SlO.OO per 100. 

 This is new and perfect stock, and our only reason for 

 making these prices is to reduce stock on hand. There- 

 fore this offer is limited, and will be withdrawn when 

 present stock is disposed of. 



We have also in stock several hundred various sizes 

 of seal-cover pails, formerly listed in our catalog, 

 which we offer to close out at former prices : No. 1, 

 §6.50 per 100; No. 2, $7.50 ; No. 3, $9.50 ; No. 5, $10.50. 



NEW HONEY WANTED. 



There is an old adage which runs, "The early bird 

 catches the worm." We should like to get in touch 

 with some of the " early birds "who have honey ready 

 for market. We have a demand now for new honey, 

 both comb and e.'^itracted, which we can not supply. I 

 know bee-keepers are bu.sy making room for the bees 

 to store what they gather, as well as in haying and 

 harvest ; but there ought to be some who are enter- 

 prising enough to get the early honey off to market 

 and catch this waiting trade. L,et us hear from you 

 with sample of extracted clover, and description of 

 comb honey which you have to offer. The indications 

 at present point to a larger crop than usual in many 

 places, and late in the fall, at the convenient time for 

 preparing and shipping, there is more likely to be a 

 surplus. Who is readj^ to supply this early trade? 



SEVEN- TOP TURNIP FOR HONEY OR TO PLOW UNDER. 



The seven-top turnip is perhaps the best one to plow 

 under for fertilizing the soil. It will also give a good 

 crop of honey before it is turned under in the spring. 

 If sown any time in August or the fore part of Sep- 

 tember it will get rooted so as to stand any winter. 

 In fact, I never knew it to be thrown out by the frost 

 here in Ohio when it gets a good start. It comes into 

 bloom between apple-blo.ssom and white clover. It 

 may be plowed under for potatoes or any other crop. 

 Price, ounce, 5 cts.; 1 lb., 20 cts.; 10 lbs. or more at 15 

 cts. If wanted by mail, add 10 cts. per lb. extra. 



WINTER OR EGYPTIAN ONION-SETS. 



We are just now gathering a fine crop of these. 

 Quart, 10 cts.; peck, 50 ; bushel, §1.50. If wanted by 

 mail, add 10 cts. per quart for postage and packing. 

 As we are getting a good many orders, if you want 

 them at the above price you had better get in your or- 

 der at once. Now is the time to plant them, and the 

 sooner the better. They never fail to grow, and they 

 will stay in the ground for years unless you dig them 

 out. It takes a very smart weed to crowd the winter 

 Egyptian at any season of the year ; but, of course, 

 they do very much better where the weeds are kept 

 out, and clean cultivation given. Perhaps I might 

 add, in conclusion, that, if the weather is not too hot 

 and dry, almost all kinds of peas will give a nice crop 

 for table use if put in during the fore part of August. 



Wants and Exchange. 



Notices will be Inserted under this head at 10 cts. per line. 

 You must SAT you want your adv't in this department, or we 

 will not be responsible for any error. You can have the no- 

 tice as many lines as you please ; but all over ten lines will 

 cost you according to our regular rates. We can not be re- 

 sponsible for dissatisfaction arising from these " swaps."
