STRAWBERRIES. 



Sept. 11.— Now is just the best time to make youi' 

 strawberiy-heds that you will have this year. We 

 have on luind now lots of nice plants of all the vari- 

 eties we advertise-^Jessie, Haverland, Bubach, 

 Gaudy, and Sterling; and we can, in most cases, pack 

 your "plants so tliey can start on the next train after 

 receipt of vour order. Prices: 10 for 10 cts.; lUO, 75 

 cts. ; luOO, *6.U0. By mail 5c extra for 10, 25c for 100. 



AMERICAN PEARL ONIONS. 



We still have plenty of nice sets left, and now is 

 tlie time to plant them. The rows should be about 

 a foot apart, and the sets may be put two and a half 

 inches in the row. They ouglit to weigh from y, 

 pound to 1 pound apiece by the middle of May; and 

 this vear we sold most of our crop at 10 cts. a pound. 

 Tlie "crop will be all olf tlie ground by the time 

 Strawberries are gone, leaving plenty of time to put 

 out earlv celery. Price a.5c per qt. By mail, 10c extra. 

 $•2.25 per peck." We have just got a lot of new seed 

 of the American Pearl onions, which we will sell at 

 $3.50 per lb.; >» lb., 11.85; oz., 25 cts.; k oz., 10; pack- 

 et, 5 cts. 



ONE-STORY CHAFF HIVES CHEAP. 



Having adopted the Dovetailed cliatt hive as our 

 leader in this line, we still have on hand a good 

 stock of the old-style 10-f rame one-story chaff hives 

 to take Simplicitv uppei- story and furniture. To 

 work this stock down we otter you a reduction of 20 

 cents a hive on any of the numbers as listed page 21 

 of our price list. This equals a reduction of 20 per 

 cent on the hive without furniture. You may have 

 the earlv-order discount of 5 per cent besides. This 

 offer is inade only to reduce .stock, and we reserve 

 the privilege to withdraw it at any time. This is a 

 very good liive, especially for those who prefer the 

 Sim'plicity combinations^ 



ANCHOR PASTE FLOUR. 



This is used like dextrine for pasting labels to tin, 

 glass, etc. In many respects it is better than dex- 

 trine. It is mixed cold, while dextrine has to be mix- 

 ed in boiling water. It will not sour nor mold, will 

 keep in any climate, and contains no poison. If by 

 evaporation it becomes too thick it is thinned by 

 simply adding a little cold watei-. Its adhesive 

 qualities are excellent. It comes put up in tin cans 

 of four sizes, nicely labeled with directions. 



Price of j-lb. cans, 10 cts. each; by mail 20 cents. 



" 1 " " 15 33 " 



" 3 .' .. 25 " " " " 60 " 

 " " 10 " " 1.00 " " Not mailable. 



In lots of 1 doz. or more cans to dealers to resell, 

 special prices quoted on application. 



GLEANINGS FREE TO NEW SUBSCRIBERS. 



Our subscription list is constantly growing by a 

 healthv vigorous growtli, being not far under 11,000 

 at this"time. We desire to increase to 12,000 as rap- 

 idly as possible, and are ottering some special in- 

 ducements to that end. There is a quarter of a year 

 remaining before January, after this issue; yet we 

 propose to give to »iei(; subscribers for 1892, at $1.00 

 eacli, the rest of the year free. This is surely a 

 strong inducement to get your neiglibor bee-keep- 

 ers to subscribe, espet-ially when you consider that 

 these numbers will contain notes of travel from the 

 senior editoi', who is going on an extended trip west 

 and south to regain his strength after tlic sickness 

 througli which he has just been i)assing. You wlio 

 have given frequent evidence of the enjoyment, 

 lielp, and inspiration of his writings will be glad, no 

 doubt, to put forth a little effort to widen the circu- 

 lation of Gleanings aod tlius extend tlie influence 

 of ills writings. To repay you for jour efforts in se- 

 curing new suliscriptions we will, if you send in 

 your own renewal at the same time with a new 

 name, and f2.00 in cash, send you postpaid any of 

 tlie following books.

half the size of tliis page, and over 60 illustrations. 

 A. I. Boot, author. This is a serio-comic serial that 

 appeared in Gleanings years ago. Not only the 

 grown-up folks, but children as well, will find it in- 

 tei-esting almost to fascination, and likewise profit- 

 able. Regular v^i'ice is 25 cents; but if more are 

 wanted than the one we give you, we will make a 

 special price of 15 cents postpaid.

 ways sold for 25 cts. by mail, nr 2ii with othei' goods.

 covers. Over fifty thousand of this popular work 

 have been sold, and it is just as good and true as 

 ever. Given free for one new sub6cril)er, with your 

 own renewal, or the same in cloth binding for two 

 names with your own i-enewal. 



Please rememl)er, that only the numbers of this

KITCHEN 



KNIFE. 



This is the knife we have sold for years as our 10- 

 cent honey-knife. It li:is lately been improved by 

 putting on a wire handle instead of the old one of 

 cast iron. It is the invention of a woman, for 

 work in the kitchen, su'^li as chopping potatoes, 

 turning pancakes, scraping kettles, etc. Many 

 thousands liave been sold for use in the kitchen, 

 and they prove so satisfactory that the manufac- 

 turer makes tlie following guarantee: 



Anv purchaser who, after using the knife one 

 month, may decide that she does not want it, may 

 wiite nie to that effect, stating the amount paid, 

 whereupon I will return to her the said amount by 

 mail. R. K. Teller. 



Thev are excellent for scraping bits of comb and 

 propolis from frames and hives, and can be used 

 for uncapping. We have just bought our third lot 

 of about a tliousand. and otter tliem as follows: 



Ten cents each. Bv mail, 15 cts., or 2 for 25 cts; 

 85 cts per doz. ; or by mail, $1.20; $9.00 per gross, by 

 frieght or express.
