GLEANINGS IN BEE CULTURE. 



885 



nioro tlian some Imitation tiiey could buy for a 

 tritie less money. The manufacturer, of the au- 

 gite mat has decided that he would not make an 

 inferior mat to compete with the cheaper grades 

 made, and that it wasn't worth his while to continue 

 making- the superior article at tlie present prices. 

 We have secured the remainder of his stock, 50 

 gross, at a price which enables us to sell them at a 

 price as clieap as the cheapest. We guarantee they 

 will go no lower than these prices, 5 cents each; 5()c 

 per do/..; t> doz., $2.70, or $ij.tK) per gross. By mail, 

 10c each; $1.00 per doz., postpaid. 



To any of our readers who will renew in advance 

 for Gi<KA.MN<;s we will send postpaid one of these 

 mats, ("/ i/oi/ axk for it. If you are in arrears you 

 must pay up tt) January, 1S95, and for one year from 

 that date, if you would be entitled to the mat. If 

 you secure a new subscription, and send with your 

 renewal, paid in advance, we will send you 3 mats 

 instead of one, and the new name will get Glean- 

 ings till the end of 18S'5. If you have your premium 

 .sent with other goods by f reight or e.vpress, so we 

 have no postage to pay, we will send ;i mats for re- 

 newal, or 6 for a new name with renewal. We want 

 to see one or more mats go into the home of every 

 reader of Gleanings, as we believe it will be a 

 much appreciated help to the one who does the 

 cooking. If you will also spend a little effort in in- 

 troducing tliem to your neishbors you will t^e doing 

 good work, and botli will be well repaid. We could 

 give hundreds of testimonials speaking in the high- 

 est praise of the mats, but we have already said 

 enough. Get one and trj- it for yourself. 



HOT-BED SASH AT LOW PRICES. 



We had omitted to say earlier, that we still fur 

 nish the low-priced hot-bed sash that we sent out 

 so extensively a year ago; and as the price of glass 

 is still lower, we can give you a bargain on glass for 

 immediate orders. Price of sash, one in the fiat» 

 for sample, ().5 cts.; r> in tlie flat, 60 cts. each; 10. in 

 the flat, .55 cts. each. If you want screws to put 

 them together, add 5 cts. for each sash. The holes 

 are all bored, so you know just where the screws 

 are to go. Glass, SxlO, just right for the above, 

 $2.tK) per box of 90 lights; 5 boxes, $1.90 per box; W 

 boxes, $1.8 I per box. We can put up sash all ready 

 to use, glazed and painted, in lots of 5, $1.75 each. I 

 would not advise sliipping a less number than five; 

 but if you take my advice you will have all your 

 glass sash shipped in the fiat. In this case they go 

 as fourth- class freight; whereas, all complete they 

 will have to go as flr.stelass, and .some roads rate 

 them as double first-class. 



LOWEK PRICES ON WIRE- NETTING. 



We liave just made a new contract for our supply 

 of wiiv netting and fencing for the coming year; 

 and liy it are able to make much lower prices than 

 ever before. Instead of the table of prices on the 

 inside of back cover of oiii' catalog, tlie following 

 will apply from now on till further notice. You 

 will see by this that prices are nearly 30 per cent 

 lower, the 2-in. No. 19. 4 ft. wide, being now only 

 $3.00 per roll, 1.50 feet long, with furtlier discount 

 for nuantity, and other sizes in like proportion. 



fuller's grape culturist. 

 After the above book has been a standard author- 

 ity on grape culture for a period of thirty years, the 

 author, A. S. Fuller, has just put out a new revised 

 and enlarged edition, published by the O. Judd Co. 

 I hardly need add that the new edition is fully up 

 to the times, both in new varieties and modes of 

 training. No matter what system a culturist pur- 

 sues it will well repay the grower to have " Fuller 

 on the Grape." The author makes grape-growing a 

 regular science and system, like mathematics. If 

 you read the book once through carefully, you will 

 know just what to do to make your vines do their 

 best. This book and the Concord grape have, in 

 my opinion, had very much to do with the fact 

 that beautiful luscious grapes are now to be had alt 

 over the United States for only four or five cents 

 pound, and sometimes vt'ry much lower. The price 

 of the new edition is SI. 40; postpaid by mail, 1.50. 

 We keep it constantly in siock. 



TWO NEW INDUSTRIAL BOOKS. 



The enterprising editors of the Philadelphia Fonit 

 Jou/doMiave given us two beautiful little books— 

 the Biggie Horse-book and tlie Biggie B«'rry-book. 

 Both are full of important hints, put into few words, 

 and both are interspersed with pictures illustrating- 

 the subject. The lierry-book especially contains a 

 series of colored plates representing sixty straw- 

 ben ies. in shape, size, and color, inside and outside. 

 The special feature of the berry-book is, that it em- 

 braces a sort of symposium of the opinions of thirty 

 or fortv prominent berry-growers of the present 

 time, in fact, all of these writers and growers 

 have answered a series of questions propounded by 

 Judge Biggie, the author. These little books are 

 not only full of information, but they are hand- 

 i^ome enough to grace the center-table of the parlor. 

 The price is 50 cts. each, postpaid. They are offered 

 considerably cheaper, iiowever, when clubbed with 

 the Farm jnurnnl. T suppo.se our readers are so 

 well acquainted with this latter periodical that re- 

 mark is unnecessary. Dui'ingimy recent travels I 

 found tlie F(trm Joumnl almost everywhere. People 

 who think tliey can not afford one of the regular 

 agricultural papers usually have the Farm Jouroal 

 anyway. The colored plates alone in the straw- 

 berry-book, I am told, cost over a thousand dollars. 



Staples for above, Jj or 1 inch, s cts. per lb. 



'I'iif sizes of wliich the price is given in italic fig- 

 ures are not kept in stock, and will have to be 

 shii)pe(l direct from factory in Connecticut. We 

 have in stock liere most widths of 3-inch No. 18 (in- 

 cluding 12 and is inch) and 2-incli No. 20, and all tlie 

 widths of 2-inch No. 19. 



.A.iiy of these sizes may l)e shipped from here 

 wlieii preferred. These and other sizes will also be 

 shipped from New York or Chicago direct, without 

 any additional charge for cartage. In addition to 

 these low i)rices we will, on lots of 200 lbs. or more, 

 to points east of Ohio and north of Virginia, where 

 the freight does not exceed 40c- per 100 lbs., sliip 

 direct from the fact (u-y in Connectiouf , and deliver 

 the goods at your station. To points farther re- 

 moved from tiie factory, where it would be more 

 economical to ship from factory we will do so. and 

 allow 40i' per HKI lbs. on the freight, on shipments of 

 200 lbs. or more. It is only on shipments from the 

 Connecticut factory that we can allow the freight. 

 Shipments from New York, Chicago, or from here, 

 will be f. o. b., and freight paid by the purchaser. 



prices of POTATOES FOR NOVEMBER. 



Although I would hardly dare to assume the re- 

 sponsibility myself, I think potatoes can be ship- 

 ped, with veiy little danger, to any point south of 

 here at any time during this month. Below we give 

 prices for potatoes oidered this fall. Of course, we 

 can not say at present what they will be when we 

 commence sbiiiping in the spring. 



Price of Early Ohio, Karly Puritan, Lee's Favor- 

 ite, Rural New Yorker, and Monroe Seedling pota- 

 toes: Peck, 35c; >i bushel, 60 c; bushel, $1.00; one 

 bbl. of 11 pecks, $2.50. 



Freeman potatoes, one peck, 4()c; Vi bush., 75c; 1 

 bushel, $1.25; one bbl of 11 pecks, $3.00. 



One pound of any of above by mail, 20c; 3 lbs., 4.5c. 



Any of tlie above potatoes, second size, half the 

 al)ove prices. 



I would call special attention to the second-size 

 potatoes; and perhaps I may mention that we have 

 purchased of T. B. Terry all the second size he rais- 

 ed on his farm. At the above prices, only $1..50 for 

 a barrel of Freeman potatoes, T. B. Teny'^ gtock^
