SPECIAL NOTICES 



By Our Business Manager. 



sweet-clover seed. 

 We want to hear from those who are saving white- 

 sweet-clover seed, and will have some seed to sell. 

 Let us know about how much you can furnish, and 

 what you ask for it. 



A FREE booklet ON BEES. 



Those who are starting little apiaries will be in- 

 terested in our little book, " How to Build up an 

 Apiary with One Pound of Bees." This will be sent 

 free of charge to anybody applying for the same. 

 Even if you do not buyu any bees it vrill be worth 

 while to read it. 



high-grade QUEENS AT REDUCED PRICES. 



We are catching up on orders, and if some of our 

 customers will allow us the option of mailing when 

 we have a surplus of queens we will make a very 

 low price on queens in quantities ; dozen, fifty and 

 hundred lots. This -stock is the very best we raise, 

 from our choicest breeders, and all home bred. 



SECONDHAND 60-LB. CANS. 



If in need of good cans cheap, do not forget that 

 we have a good stock of extra choice second-hand 

 cans, two in a case, which we are selling at $3.50 

 for 10 cases; $7.50 for 25 cases; 100 or over at 25 

 cts. per case. If you do not find them free from rust 

 on the inside we will replace any so found. They 

 are excellent value for the money. 



BARGAINS IN COMB-HONEY SHIPPING CASES. 



We have a number of shipping cases of pattern 

 which we no longer make, which we can ship prompt- 

 ly at special-bargain prices to close them out. We 

 have the largest number of two-row cases for 12 and 

 16 sections. If interested, send for special list. We 

 also have a lot of used cases nailed up in good con- 

 dition, which would be a bargain to some one. Let 

 us know if interested, and what size of section you 

 want to case. 



SPECIAL BARGAIN IN 10-LB. FRICTION-TOP PAILS. 



Through misunderstanding an order, we have to 

 dispose of at Payetteville, Ark., a supply of 10-pound 

 friction-top pails, six in a case. We sell these reg- 

 ularly from Chicago, at 65 cts. a case. We offer them 

 f. o. b. Fayetteville, Ark., at the same rate, ten cases 

 for $6.25, or twenty-five cases for fifteen dollars. 

 This will be an advantageous price for those located 

 in the Southwest who can use them, as the freight 

 from Fayetteville should be less than from Chicago. 

 They are offered as above, subject to previous sale. 



ONE-POUND ROUND JAR. 



Among the honey-jars listed 

 in our catalog there is none 

 more handsome than the one- 

 pound round shown above. It 

 is also the cheapest one in the 

 whole list. We supply them in 

 corrugated-paper reshipping cas- 

 es of two dozen each, at 80 cts. 

 per case ; 6 cases for $4.50. They 

 weigh 18 lbs. per case, and ship 

 safely in these paper cases. We 

 have a pretty good stock of these 

 here and at our branch stores. 



SIMPLEX JAR. 



This jar, which we have han- 

 dled for years, will not be sup- 

 plied after our present stock is 

 exhausted. The factory which made them has dis- 

 continued them and closed out its stock. We still 

 have several hundred cases which we shall be pleased 

 to furnish, as long as they last, at $1.10 per case 

 of two dozen, $6.30 for six cases.
