HONEY CROP 



Already the harvest has commenced Now is the time to think of packages. Don't make the great mistake of neglecting this point. 

 You may lose the entire profit of the year by shipping your honey in poor packages. Appearance counts in the market. When you buy 

 ROOT'S GOODS you are sure of the best. Sections and Shipping-Cases; in fact, everything for the bee-keeper, can be promptly obtained 

 at Root's Branches or Agencies everywhere. 



No-Drip Shipping-Cases 



Don't allow your Comb Honey to be sold at low prices on account 

 of poor Shipping-Cases. Put your crop into Root's No-Drip Cases 

 and it will reach the market in perfect condition, thus bringing satis- 

 factory returns. Our Cases are made of selected basswood, with 2 or 

 3 inch glass front, which shows off the honey to the very best advan- 

 tage. Below is a condensed price-list. Complete prices and particu- 

 lars are found in our general catalog. 



Porter Bee-Escape 



The great labor-saver. No well-regulated apiary can afford to be 

 without it more than a smoker.

Price with board, 35c; S3.20 for 10, not postpaid. 



Aikin Houey-Bags 



Don't fail to try this package. It is now an established success.

The Simplex Jar 



The handsomest glass package on the market. 

 It's a package you need not be ashamed of, and 

 will find its way beside the finest of the grocery 

 shelves. Create a demand for your honey. 



This is a new jar with glass screw-top and rub- 

 ber gasket fitted to the taper screw on jar, which 

 seals absolutely air-tight. Put up in re-shipping 

 cases of 3 dozen jars each, with corrugated pro- 

 tectors. 



Price $1.10 per case; 6 oases @ $1.05; 20 cases 

 or more @ $1.00. 



Honey-Labels 



We print them. Write for our sample book. 



5-Gallou Square Cans 



The above cut shows the favorite package for shipping extracted 

 honey. There is no shrinkage and consequent leaking; no taint to 

 the honey from wood, as is so frequently the case with barrels and 

 kegs. The cane, being made square, economize space, and are easily 

 boxed. They are used exclusively in the far West. Take 4th class 

 freight-rate.
