NEW TAPER- PANEL HONEY- JABS. 



We show here an illustration of a 

 new style of honey-jar holding half a 

 pound. It is a taper-panel jar with 

 lacquered tin cap lined with waxed 

 paper wad which turns on tight with a 

 one-fourth turn, warranted to hold air- 

 tight. We expect to have ready soon 

 the one-pound size' of the same style 

 jar. Packed in reshipping-casesof two 

 dozen each, ready to ship again, when 

 filled, without additional packing. 



Price Ys-lh. taper-panel jar, 80 cts. per 

 case; 6 cases, $4.50. 



Price 1-lb. taper-panel jar, $1.00 per 

 case; 6 cases, $5.70. 

 up in orates of 2 gross, %-lb. size, $3.75 per gross. 

 up in crates of 1 gross, 1-lb. size $4.80 per gross' 



SIMPLEX HONBY-.JARS. 



The factory have assured us 

 that we may again secure this 

 popular honey-jar in several sizes, 

 including the one holding one 

 pound of honey. We have ordered 

 a fresh supply, but do not expect 

 to have them in stock till next 

 month. They will be packed in 

 reshipping-cases of two dozen 

 each, and the price will.be i$l. 10 

 per case; 6 cases, $6.30. 



NO. 25 HONEY-JARS. 



During the past year w? have 

 had an unusual amount of trouble 

 with breakage of this jar. even in 

 the reshipping-cases packed with 

 corrugated paper. The breakage 

 occurred either in the porcelain cap or the top rim of 

 the jar where the cap rests. We find we can get this 

 same jar with lacquered tin cap without the center 

 being cut out. This cap is lined with waxed paper 

 wad, which seals tight on the top edge of the jar. 

 This style of cap not only does aw?y with breakage 

 almost entirely, but enables us to furnish the jarjat a 

 lower price. We are not yet supplied with the new 

 stock, but expect to have them next month at the 

 following price. They will be packed as usual, two 

 dozen in reshipping partitioned cases. No. 25 jars, 

 tin cap lined, 90 cts. per case; 6 cases, $5.10. We can 

 still furnish from stockjthe usual style of No.'25 with 

 porcelaintcaps at;$1.10 per case; 6 cases, $6.30. 



erwise discolor the wood in sections for a wide frame 

 completely enclosing the sections. Our regular su- 

 pers are adapted to the regular sections in section- 

 holders without a top-bar. To provide a top-bar as 

 well as a bottom it is necessary either tol^make the 

 super deeper or the section shorter. In order to use 

 the regular deep super we have decided to make a 

 new section, 4Jix4?4xl% or 1^ plain, no beeway. 

 This will be used in a section frame hanging by top- 

 bar in the regular deep super, interchangeable with 

 the shallow Hoffman frame 5% deep. This will ne- 

 cessitate a new fence adapted to this size of section, 

 which will be designated by the letter N. The 4J€x 

 4^4x1% will hold a full pound, and will work best in 

 the eight-frame] super, 24 to the super. In the Danz. 

 width (16J€) ten-frame super thei 4;4x4^xl% will fit 

 best 32 to the super. These sections mav be splittfor 

 inserting foundation Iby the Hand method, andjthe 

 correct size of sheet) for that"purpose would be 4%x 

 11%. Price of N section-frames, $2.50 per 100 in flat. 

 Price of N fences, $2.00 per 100. Sections 4Mx4'Uxl% 

 or Wi. same price as regular Danz.. $4.75ilper 1000, No.

 frames and sections 11 wide, and supers fitted with 

 the same. Deep Isuper fitted with N section-frames, 

 N fences and springs, either 8 or 10 frame, will be 

 designated 2 | N 8. Price, nailed and painted. 70 cts.

These are not listed in our catalog this season, and 

 not in stock with any of our dealers. If you wish to 

 test them you will have to make special orders to se- 

 cure them. You can get them through your dealer if 

 you order in ample time and are not in a hurry to re- 

 ceive them. This section wnll require a new size of 

 carton and a new size of shipping-case to put them up 

 for market. We offer the new size for experiment 

 this season to see if it has sufficient warrant forjin- 

 troduction into the catalog another year. By cutting 

 beeways in the top and bottom they could be stored 

 without fences or separators, and four could be placed 

 in a shallow Hoffman frame for storing, though they 

 would not be as well protected as in a section-frame. 

 The latest style of shallow frame with s-inch ends 

 would be rather scant in length inside to take four 

 sections, but those made earlier would have room.

SHOBT COURSE IN BEE-KEEPING. 



The University of Tennessee will give a short lec- 

 ture course in bee-keeping extending from February 

 27 to March 11, inclusive. The tuition is free. The 

 whole State of Tennessee is suited to bee-keeping, 

 and this short course ought, and deserves to be well 

 patronized. There are other short courses on differ- 

 ent subjects which are well worth while attending by 

 young men and women of the State.
