Sweet Clover Seed 



- FREE AS A PREMIUM 



For Sending: us One New Subscriber for a Year. 



There has been so much written 

 about both the white and the yellow 

 variety of sweet clover, that we will 

 simply say here that if one of our pres- 



ent regular subscribers will send us $1 

 with a new name for next year (1901), 

 we will send the new subscriber the bal- 

 ance of this year's (1900) numbers free, 

 and mail, postpaid, to the one sending 

 the new name and the dollar, either 

 one pound of yellow sweet clover seed, 

 or two pounds of the white sweet clo- 

 ver. This is a good chance to get a 

 start of both kinds of these honey clo- 

 vers. Better send two new subscribers 

 (with $2.00) and get the three pounds 

 of seed. Address,

W. R. Cromwell Produce Co., 

 Successors to C. C. Clemens & Co, 



Buffalo, Nov. 8.— The high prices attract 

 increast receipts, but fancv white comb is sus- 

 tained and active at 17ftilSc'; fairtogood, 14to IS; 

 buckwheat, etc., ll@12c. Supplies here are

 tinues strong, with light receipts. Fancy one- 

 Sound cartons, 17c; A No. 1, 15ft»16c; No. 1, 15c; 

 o. 2, 12w 13c. Extracted from TA&^'A cents,

 Blake, Scott & Lee. 



Cincinnati, Sept. 21.— The demand for fancy 

 comb honey is good and finds readv sale at 16^ 

 lt)^c: No. 1, 15c. The demand for extracted 

 honey at present is slow and offer same by the 

 barrel as follows: White clover, 8^ei9c; South- 

 ern, 6'<ft«7^c; Florida, 7(a'8 cents, according toi 

 quality. Beeswax, 27c. 



The above are my selling prices. I do not 

 handle any honey on commission, but pay spot 

 cash on delivery. C. H. W. Weber. 



New York, Oct. 10.— During the past two. 

 weeks, receipts of comb honey have been quite 

 extensive, several carloads of California and 

 Nevada honey having arrived, and some large 

 shipments of buckwheat, and for the present 

 there is plenty of supply to meet the demand. 

 We quote: Fancy white comb, lS^16c; No. 1, 

 white, 14@14i<.c; fancy amber, 13J^(V(13c; amber, 

 ll(ail2c; buckwheat, lOfa'llc.

 tracted honey. The demand is fair at un- 

 changed quotations. Beeswax dull at 27c.

 tracted, white, l%(SiHc; light amber 6M@7!<c: 

 amber. S^^@6J^c. Beeswax. 26@28c. 



Owing to slim stocks, business in honey of 

 all descriptions is of necessity restricted to very 

 small compass. High-grade water white, either 

 comb or extracted, is especially scarce. Pre- 

 vious quotations remain in force, with market 

 firm at these figures. 



A HONEY MARKET.— Don't think that your 

 crop is too large or too small to interest us. We 

 have bought and sold five carloads alreadv this 

 season, and want more. We pav spot cash. Ad- 

 dress, giving quality, quantitv and price,
