GLEANINGS IN BEE CULTURE. 



Feb. 1. 



•care of the wauts of our friends in tlie East. We 

 liave also an order for a carload for Los Angeles, to 

 G. G. Wiclcson & Co. We expect, about bix weeks 

 hence, to start two more cars to this firm, one to 

 San Francisco and the other to Los Angeles. Any 

 of our California friends in want of any thing- 

 special will do well to send in their orders to this 

 firm without delay, so that they may not be disap- 

 pointed in getting- tlit-ir goods on time. 



FREE SAMPLE PACKAGE OF Ci iMB FDN. AND SECTIONS. 



We have gotten up a very neat sample packag-e 

 ■which ilUisiiates our new extra polished sections, 

 and encloses samples of our comb fdii. We shall be 

 pleased to mail this free to all who request it. 



DEALERS IN BEE-KEEPEKS' SUPPLIES. 



We have iirinted a special edition of 10,000 cata- 

 log's with 33 white pages and a cover, for the use of 

 small dealers who handle our goods, and don't care 

 to go to the expense of a special catalog of their 

 own. Changes are made on the cover. We will 

 furnish them at cost, which is merely nominal. 

 Samples witli terms will be sent shortly to dealers 

 on our list. Shall be pleased to hear from others 

 interested. 



CALIFORNIA SAGE HONEY. 



We learned, after the last issue was printed, that 

 Mercer & Son had made other disposition of the 

 sage honey we expected to get. so that we shall not 

 have the carload as planned. We have arranged to 

 fill all orders from stock already in Chicago, of 

 equally good honey. We shall have samples here 

 to mail to any who are interested. We can supply 

 choice extracted honey in kegs of 170 or 310 lbs. at 7 

 cts. per lb. In cans of (JO lbs.. 3 in a case, at 8i4 cts.; 

 3 cases or more at 8 cts. Comb honey, 1-lb. sections, 

 choice white, 15 cts. per lb. ; No. 3 at 13 cts. in lots of 

 100 lbs. or more. 



KIND WORDS FROM OUR CUSTOMERS. 



You may send us4i1 copies of Mr. Terry's A B C of 

 Potato Culture. Mr. T.'s remarks on how to prevent 

 scab in potatoes is worth four times the price of the 

 work. Hoover & Prout. 



Averjs O., Jan. 15^ 



the new potato book. 



At the present writing- we are having a very en- 

 couraging sale of Terry's new book; and among the 

 other kind words received, here is one from our 

 Ohio Experiment Station that may be of interest to 

 many: 



Mr. Roof :— I have just received a copy of the A B 

 C of Potato Culture, revised edition, by Terry, and 

 have been much pleased while looking it over. It is 

 so instructive and entertaining that I could hardly 

 resist taking the time at once to read it through; 

 but it must l3e laid aside until I have more leisure. 



I wish, Mr. Root, that some other publishers would 

 follow your example and give us revised editions of 

 agricultuial and liorti- nn ura 1 lool-s as olten as 

 they are need' d. 'Ihe nuijorit.N of liooks on these 

 subjects are sd old that they have but little value, 

 except in a hi-^torimil wa^ . It does not do a practi- 

 cal man niut-li got)d, however, to study up agricul- 

 tural history. He wants to know the best methods 

 of f 0-day, and this little book gives the latest and 

 best on potato culture, besides a g-ood many hints 

 that may be utilized in growing other crops.

Costel low's Egg=Box. 



This is an invention of ffreat value to poultrymen in gen- 

 eral, and to those who ship eggs for hatching m particular. 

 The box is complete in itself, nothing in llu> way of pack- 

 ing being required. It is only necessary lo place the eggs 

 in tlie box, and fasten the cover down; they are securely 

 held in place by light springs, which allow iio play in any 

 (Hi ection, hut which hold them suspended in the center of 

 the box, where they are secure from all jar, thumping, or 

 bieakage. 



At !i recent poultry show in Cleveland, O., one of the 

 boxes was tilled with eggs and tossed around the room and 

 thrown tothelioor; and, on opening, not an egg was broken. 

 The springs are so constructed that they will hold with 

 equal security and ease any size of hen's egg. The sing-le 

 ^"=^ box will successfully carry any nuiabei- of eggs from one 



to fifteen, and the double box any number from one to tliirty. The cover is secured by metal fastening's 

 on each end, not shown in the engraving. It is well adapted to Iteeping eggs for higher prices, as, by- 

 turning the box over every few days, eggs in it will keep .sound and good for six months or more.
