By Our Business Manager 



We have about two tons of choice Michigan and 

 New York State amber extracted honey in five-gal- 

 lon cans. The largest part of the honey was gath- 

 ered from clover, but we presume many of the pro- 

 ducers were busy with other work so did not get it 

 extracted until after the fall flows came on, so there 

 is enough dark honey mixed with this to grade it 

 amber. We offer it put up in the original packages 

 of two five-gallon cans to the case, at 85^ cents per 

 lb., delivered in good condition on board the cars 

 at Medina. We seldom have a lot of honey as good 

 as the above at such a low price. In ordering men- 

 tion lot No. 107. 



MAPLE SYRUP. 



The weather conditions at this writing, March 25, 

 are so very unfavorable that practically no maple 

 syrup or sugar has been produced this year. We 

 usually get a good run during the last two weeks 

 of February. Yesterday we had a heavy fall of 

 snow, and it now looks as if the cold weather would 

 continue for an indefinite period. Many producers 

 have not as yet tapped any trees. We regret that 

 we shall be obliged to return all orders received to 

 date unless the weather improves very much in 

 the next ten days. 



ALSIKE CLOVER SEED. '' 



The time for seeding clover is here, and we can 

 offer a limited quantity of good alsike seed for 

 shipment from Stockport, Iowa, if ordered at once, 

 bag included, at 83.75 per peck; 87.00 per half-bu.sh- 

 el; 813.75 per bushel, or two bushels for 827.00. This 

 is below the present wholesale market, and the of- 

 fer is made only for prompt orders, and while the 

 lot available lasts. 



Beekeepers will find it profitable to encourage 

 the sowing of alsike within range of their bees by 

 paying a part of the cost of seed. Alsike, being 

 much finer seed than medium clover, does not re- 

 quire as much to the acre, so that it is cheaper 

 than any other kind at the present market price. 



25 lb. 100 lb. 



SWEET-CLOVER SEED. 



Since our last issue we have secured over a ton of 

 hulled white-sweet-clover seed at a price lower 

 than the imported seed offered in our last issue. 

 This enables us to offer it again at prices ruling 

 early in the season. The imported seed has a rath- 

 er fresher and plumper appearance than the home- 

 grown lot we have secured. AVe are prepared to 

 furnish either at the following prices: 



In lots of— lib. 10 lbs. 



Hulled Yellow Annual 



(Melilotus Indica), per lb 15c 

 Hulled AA'hite, impo'd seed 27c 

 Hulled White, domes'c " 25c 

 Unhulled AVhite {Melilotus 



aibo) per lb 16c 



AVe can ship the imported from Medina or New 

 A'ork, and the domestic from Medina. AVe are sold 

 out of the biennial yellow, taut have a plentiful sup- 

 ply of annual yellow and unhulled white.
