 rirst-Clas.s ICuf/itw iind Itoiler. 



This is one of B. W. Payne &- Son's Eureka en- 

 gines, the same that we advertise in our catalogue. 

 It has run 3 months since it was new; has had a 10- 

 loot galvanized-iron smoke-stack added, and is in 

 perfect running order. The man who is holding it 

 had to put in a larger one to meet the demands of 

 his trade. The price of a new engine and boiler 

 complete, no stack, is S!2T5.(MJ; but to make a quick 

 sale we will sell this one with the stack tor If:i-'5.(10, 

 free on board cars at Higginsville, Mo.

The Chapman Honey-Plant. 



I n accord anc<- 

 with a previous no- 

 tice; inibce-periodi- 

 cals, I am now pre- 

 pared to fill orders 

 for tht^ seed of the 

 above plant at tht! 

 following prices : 

 'i oz.. $1; 1 oz., $2; 

 2oz., S3: t oz., S5; 

 '4 lb., $8. One oz. 

 contains from 160(1 

 to 1800 seeds. On 

 account of extreme 

 drought in.v stock 

 of seed is limited, 

 and persons order- 

 ing will be served 

 in rotation. The 

 seed s h o u Id be 

 sown in the early 

 spring, and general 

 directions for cul- 

 tivation will be"glv- 

 en on each pack- 

 age. 



This plant is not 

 an obnoA'iotis weed, 

 and is as easil.v 

 eradicated as clo- 

 ver. Having care- 



full.y watched its 



s=--^- habits' of ^growth, 

 and its ■ honey-pro- 

 ducing qualities for the past six years, I believe 

 those who commence its cultivation in a liberal 

 way will be better pleased than by commencing 

 with a small quantity of seed. It has been tested 

 b.y prominent bee-keepers all the way from Ver- 

 mont to Nebraska and Ontario. We refer to the 

 report of the committee appointed by the North- 

 American Beo-Keepeis' Association held at De- 

 troit in 1885. The committee reported at the Indian- 

 apolis. Ind.. convention held Oct. 12th to Uth. and 

 their report will be found in all bee-periodicals pub- 

 lishing the report of that convention. 



Write all orders plainly, and give your; postoflBce 

 address in full.
