Where to Buy Seeds. — Many seed cata- 

 logs are a disapointraent. Too often a gor- 

 geous exterior simply covers poor paper and 

 worse printing, to say nothing of the extrava- 

 gant language used in exploiting some al- 

 leged novelty. The Bucltbee catalog is a dif- 

 ferent kind of a book. True, it has a hand- 

 some cover, but it is only in keeping with the 

 unusually high character of the inside pages 

 which are printed on fine, highly finished 

 book paper which makes a beautiful and read- 

 able page. If this was Mr. Buckbee's first 

 year in business instead of his 26th, this cata- 

 log would give him a great start. As it is, it 

 will make hitn thousands of new customers 

 and friends. To be one is to be the other. 



Flowers, plants, liulbs, etc., receive no little 

 space in this catalog, while, of course, the 

 staples and heavier seeds, such as corn, oats 

 and grass seeds, are shown in great variety. 

 Especial attention is called to Buckbee's 

 Quaker Oats, of which he makes a specialty. 

 This rariety is possessed of many striking 

 qualties, a few of which are: Its great yield — 

 early ; maturing before the drouth of summer 

 can affect it; eagerly bought by millers for 

 oatmeal; its beautiful color commands for it 

 highest prices ; strong straw, does not lodge 

 as most common varieties, and so on indefi- 

 nitely. Get the catalog and read all about it, 

 and the other field and garden and flower 

 seeds Buckbee sells. The profuse illustra- 

 tions give correct ideas of the high develop- 

 ment to which all the Buckbee seeds are 

 brought by careful selection and tasting. 

 Write to-day for free copy and mention this 

 paper. Address, H. W. Buckbee, Rockford,

 the part of reiailern and the desire on the part 

 of thofte bavini; 6tock on hand to dispone of it. 

 The pa^t two weekB have noted a further de- 

 cline in price of comb honey, with the excep- 

 tion of basHwood, which ia scarce and wanted 

 at 2 to 3 cents above any of the other white 



?radcs; it now brink's 14f^l5c; alfalfa and other

 tracted honey is (^ood with prices lower. Am- 

 ber, for nianufacturinjf purposes, brintf-. from 

 5}-if«>6!4c: better (grades iromlK^^c, Fancy comb 

 honey sells at 16c; lower grades hard to sell at 

 any price. Beeswax strong at 2T(^30c.

Albany, N. Y., Feb. 21.— Our market has not 

 been so empty of comb honey in a long- time.

Cincinnati, March 7.— The general tone of 

 the honey market is lower. Water-white comb 

 honey sells from I4(aii4^c; it is hard to obtain 

 15c for extra fancy. Extracted has weakened 

 a little, and sells at S(^S%c\ fancv, from 6i^6J^c. 

 C. H. W. Webhr. 



New York, March 8.- Comb honey is now 

 pretty well cleaned up, and what remains on 

 the market is nearly all fancy and No. I white 

 honey. The demand is fairly g-ood at following- 

 quotations: Fancy white, 14c; No, 1, 13c; No. 



2, 12c. Extracted remains dull at unchanged 

 prices with plenty of supply. Beeswax firm,2'>c. 



We have just received the first large ship- 

 ment of comb honey from Cuba; some in tall 

 sections, packed 20 combs to the crate and some 

 in square sections packed 32 combs to the crate, 

 glass front on one side, plain, no-bee-way sec- 

 tion. The honey was packed in shipping-car- 

 riers, containing 8 of the large and 9 of the 

 small crates respectively, and arrived in first- 

 class condition. The flavor of this honey is 

 very fine, and as to the quality— some of it is 

 fancy white, while others is of a yellowish tint.

While spot stocks are of rather light volume, 

 holders show more inclination to unload than 

 they did a month ago. Although quotable val- 

 ues are without marked change, concessions 

 are granted to buyers which would not have 

 been thought of at the beginning of the year. 

 A large proportion of the honey now offering is 

 comb of medium grade.
