BEESWAX. 



We have two lots of wax received with no name to 

 tell whom they came from, and no notice in the 

 mail advising us, so we can not give credit till the 

 parlies who sent it complain of not receiving re- 

 turns. 3fo)v(?.— Never send any wa.x, nor any thing 

 el.se, here or elsewhere, without your name or mark 

 to identify; and never without sending a notice at 

 the same time by mail. 



SIX-IKCH FOUNDATION-.MXLLS AT $13.00. 



We have some ten or twelve fi-inch foundation- 

 mills, new, far superior to those we sent f)ut a few 

 yeais ago. yet hardly suital)le for making extra 

 thin surplus foundation. They will work nicely in 

 making surplus foundation 10 sq. ft. to the lb., and 

 would do fairly well for light brood, half-sheets, or 

 starters. To work down tliis stf)ek of mills we offei- 

 them at $12.00. If you would prefer a sample of 

 foundation made on them, before ordering, we shall 

 be pleased to send it on request. After this season 

 the price of our best 6-inch mills will be S18.00. 



.JAPANESE BUCKWHEAT. 



Since out last issue we have received quite a 

 number ot offers of Japanese buckwheat and have 

 bouglit one oi- two lots. All ask pretty high prices, 

 however, and the lowest retail price we have seen 

 lately is $1..50 per bushel the price we made in last 

 issue. We will furnish it at .50c per peck; 85c per 

 half bushel; $1.50 per bushel, or Sa.^iO for 2 bu.shels ; 

 $13. .50 for 10 bushels, bags included in each case. 

 We have offers in Barry, 111. ; Saybrook or Cleveland. 

 Ohio ; Buffalo, N. T. ; and F'actoryville, Pa; and 

 until these lots are sold could order shipped from 

 any of these points direct to customers located near 

 these places. We have some in stock here, and can 

 get more on short notice to furnish at prices named 

 above.

 all gone. At our last count we find the following.

CARLOAD SHIPMENTS. 



Since the three carloads mentioned in our la.st 

 we have received an ordi-r for a second carload from 

 Walter S. Pouder, Indianajiolis, Ind., and a fourth 

 car to our Eastern depot, with F. A. Salisbury, 

 Syracuse, N. Y. The.se carload orders, with the 

 multitude of smaller ones, have crowded us so that, 

 for the pa.st two weeks, we have been running our 

 w(K)d-working department night and day, with two 

 forces of men. For a time, orders were delayed 

 several days longer than usual; but we have gotten 

 the upper hand, and they are now moving out with 

 our usual promptness. We are, fortunately, located 

 witliin hauling distance of a coal mine which is 

 still in operation, and we make shavings and wa.ste 

 enough tf) keep steam most of the time, .so that we 

 have to burn very little coal. We have heard of one 

 railroad in Canada which is handling only perish- 

 able freight, owing to shortage of coal; but we tru.st 

 the differences may be adjusted before other lines 

 are compelled to a similar course. 



VEGETABLE-PLANTS, ETC., FOR JUNE. 



Well, friends, we have a splendid stock of every 

 thing in those plant- beds, and can give you extra 

 low prices on .some of the stuff. First, we have any 

 quantity of extra fine transplanted cabbage-plants, 

 as follows: Jei-sey Wakefield, raised from March's 

 seed; Henderson's Early Summer; Fottler's Bruns- 

 wick, and Excelsior Flat Dutch. Until further 

 notice we will sell any of the above for $2.iXJ per 

 1000, or S17..50 for 10,000. We also have March'.s 

 Early Snowball cauliflower-plants— nice strong ones 

 —for 60 cts. per 100, or $5.00 per W)0. 



Prizetaker onion-plants, extra fine, for 75 cts. per 

 10(X), or $.5.00 for 10,000. Extra strong Globe Dan vers 

 plants, same price. 



Celerv-plants, Golden Self-blanching, or New Rose, 

 $2..50 pe"r WX), or $2,i.o0 for 10,000. 



Pepper-plants, Bullnose, Spanish, or Ruby, fl.OO 

 per 100, or f 9.oo per looo. 



Sweet-potato plants, $2.00 per 1000, or $17..50 for 

 10,000. If wanted by mail, add 25 cts. per 100 addition- 

 al for postage, on all the above plants. Tlie above 

 prices are special for immediate orders only: and in 

 ordering please say, "As per special offer of June 1." 



Strawberry-plants, we prefer not to send out dur- 

 ing the month of June; but we expect to have nice 

 new well rooted plants to send out in July. 



We are prepared to give extra low prices on cu- 

 cumber seed for pickle-factories. During the month 

 of June will be the time to plant for pickles. 

 Special prices on large quantities of seed on appli- 

 cation. 



The month of June is also probably the best time 

 to plant bush lima beans. If you have any waste 

 ground, it will probably be a good investment to 

 plant bush limas. They are always valuable for 

 table use if the price should be low for seed. You 

 see. there can not be any loss. Sell as many as you 

 can while they are fit for table use, while green; 

 and if not all used you will have them to sell for 

 seed, or for table use dry. 



I hardly need tell experienced gardeners that 

 almost any thing in the seed catalog will produce a 

 crop if put into good ground during the fore part of 

 June. We still have a limited quantity of Freeman 

 and Monroe Seedling potatoes. We are goin? to 

 plant our own Freemans about the first week in 

 June. 



TIMBREL STRAWBERRY-PLANTS. 



We have now got nicely rooted youiio plants that 

 were started in our plan^beds, and we can supply a 

 limited number of them at 20 cts. each, or $1.50 for 

 10, postpaid by mail. With only a single plant, so^ 

 early in the season, you may be able to have quite 

 a stand of Timbrells before snow comes again. 



KIND WORDS FROM ODR CUSTOMERS. 



The goods are as fine as can be made. They are 

 just splendid. H. D. Friend. 



Douglas, O., May 3. 



I think the ad't in Gleanings sold not less than 

 100 bbls. of sweet potatoes and yams to new custom- 

 ers; besides. I find the Gleanings people straight 

 and pleasant, without exception. L. H. Mahan.
