I have 2.50 bushels of Fultz; 7.') bu. old Mediterra- 

 nean, and 240 bu. Gipsy wheat to let the bee friends 

 have for seed. I averaged 25 bu. per acre; do not 

 claim to have an extra kind of wheat, but know it is 

 a good plan to change seed wheat from one place 

 to another. I will sell it for $1.00 per bu., delivered 

 on cars here. Would exchange 10 bu. of the Fultz 

 for 10 of the same, each of us to pay freight on his 

 own. All of my wheat will average 63 lbs. to the bu.

WIRE CLOTH FOR BEE-KEEPERS, 



m Gl^MTITIiY l^EDQCED P^ICE^. 



By taking a very large stock of wire cloth from 

 the factory, we have been enabled to give the fol- 

 lowing greatly reduced prices: 



DARK-BLUE WIRE CLOTH, ESPECIALLY 

 FOR QUEEN-CAGES. 



This has 13 meshes to the inch, and is considered 

 better for queen-cages than any other shade, be- 

 cause the eye detects bees and queens inside quick- 

 er. We have it in three ditferent widths— 34, 30, and 

 ;36 in.; price is 3c. per sq.ft.; 28c. for 10 sq. ft., or 

 $3.50 for a roll containing 100 sq. ft. 



WIREICLOTH PAINTED GREEN. 



We never have had any objection to this kind of 

 wire cloth, except that bees are not as readily seen 

 through it as in the other. We have it in rolls 34, 36, 

 38, and 30 inches wide, for 3>4C. per sq. ft. in whole 

 rolla.
