HARDY GOLDENS! 



Yes, I have them, and they are hardy — winter well, very gen-

 them. My prices are high; but, every thing considered, they are

"A cent to 

 two cents 

 per pound 

 extra." 



^. 



A prominent and reliable com- 

 mission merchant was looking 

 at two different lots of honey of 

 about the same <j;rade standing 

 side by side, only one lot wis 

 packed in " Root Quality 

 cases. He remarked that he 

 could sell the honey in the Root 

 cases for a cent to two cents per 

 pound EXTRA because of the 

 attractive appearance the last- 

 gave the honey. 



The difference in cost in pack- 

 ing honey in the "Root Quality" 

 case or in the no-quality kind is 

 from 0}ie-eis;htli to one-twelfth of 

 a cent per pound. You can't 

 afford to use other than the best. 

 We sell " Root Quality " cases 

 in Michigan. Order now.
