Reasons for the Price 



OF MY 



Raspberry Honey, 



1 ask ten cents a pound for my raspberry honey. This is 

 slightly above the market price, but there are reasons. 



In the first place, very little raspberry honey is produced. It is 

 a novelty — something out of the ordinary — like orange-blossom 

 honey for instance. 



In addition, it is of very superior quality; so much so that it 

 was awarded the gold medal, in competition with other honeys, 

 at the Jamestown Exposition. It has a flavor all its own — a 

 flavor that smacks of the wild red raspberry of the woods. 



Another most important reason why I should get a good price 

 for my honey is the manner in which it is pioduced. It is left on 

 the hives for weeks after it is sealed over, and thus acquires that 

 finish, that smooth, oily richness, that thick, rich deliciousness 

 that can be obtained in no other way. 



It costs more to produce such honey, there is not so much of it. 



and it is worth more thin the ordinary honey; just as big North 

 ern Spy apples, streakoa with crimson and filled with juicy spici 

 ness, are worth more than ordinary fruit. 



As a finishing touch the honey is put up in bright new 00-1 b. 

 tin cans, securely boxed, and tiie boxes bound with iron so that 

 they will bear shipment; iu fact, 1 will guarantee safe arrival in 

 perfect condition. 



For a single 60-lb. can the price is $6.25; for two cans in a 

 case (120 pounds) the price is $12.00 a case, regardless of the 

 number of cases that are taken. 



If you are not acquainted with this honey, send me ten cents 

 and I'll mall you a generous sample, and the ten cents may ap 

 ply on the nrst order that you send.

Cincinnati. — The demand for honey has improved consid- 

 erably, but no high prices have as yet been obtained. We quote 

 No. 1 white comb honey at 14; oflf grades are not wanted at any 

 price. White-clover extracted honey sells at 8 to 8?/^; amber, 

 in barrels, 5/4 to 6. Beeswax is selling slowly at 31.

St. Louis. — Th» receipts of new crop honey are very much in 

 excess of the limited demand, especially comb honey, which 

 rulos very dull. Fancy white comb honey is freelv offered at 

 12'4, with very few lakers. Choice amber comb honev is quo- 

 table at 11 f 12. There is absolutely no mark--t for broken or 

 leaking comb honey. Extracted honey is also a slow sell>-r. 

 The choicest amber honey is quotable at 5'/4 to 6 cts. in barrels, 

 and 6 '-4 to 7 in 5-gallon cans. Dark and inferior grades rule at 

 considerably less. R. Hartmann Produce Co., 



Sept. 18. St. Louis, Mo. 



San Francisco. — The greater part of the honey crop has 

 been shipped, and only scatteiing lots are now arriv ng. The 

 whit" and water-white grades are in good demand and there is 

 a fair demand for the lower grades. Producers are receiving the 

 same prices as before, and the following prices rule in the m.rr- 

 ket; Water-W'ite comb, 16 to 17; white, 15; water-white, ex- 

 tracted. 8 10 8^; light amber. 7 to 7^; Hark amber, SVi to 5Ji; 

 candied, 5^ to SYi..— Pacific Rural Press, Sept. 19.

The A. I. Root Co., Medina, 0..-— Some say the locality is 

 the prime requisite in bee-keeping; others say the hive; others, 

 ttie man; but what about the smoker f It plays a mighty impor- 

 tant part in modern bee-keeping. It is needed at every hive 

 and at almost every movement. 



Your Jumbo bass smoker is certainly the best I have used in 

 tweaty-sevt-n years, and my help grab it first out of three makes; 

 and as the price of a g >od smoker is soon g lined in time and 

 corn'on. send me at once two more. R. L. Holtermann.
