DAlSr WHEELBAHKOW. 



We are i-emiiided, nearly pvt>ry time we sell one 

 of these, of the appropriateness of the name, for 

 tliey arc a daisy, and no mistalje. Now, altliough 

 We have sold over two carloads of tliem I don't 

 believe our readers and tliiir friends who need just 

 sucli a barrow are all supplied. As it takes three 

 barrows to weigh about lOii lbs., and they will there- 

 fore g'O by freiglit for the same as a single one, we 

 liave decided to make a special low iirice in lots of 

 three, so that in most cases our readers can supply 

 themselves with tlie wheelbarrow, fieiM'ht ijaid, for 

 less tliaii the retail price here, provided they club 

 their orders or induce some of their neighbors to 

 go ill. We will furnish three of the No. ~, or large 

 size, on board cars here, for $10.5U; or three of the 

 No. 3, orsniall size, for ^liJ.iNi. Our retail price for 

 a single one is HMh and J4.0U, while tlie usual price 

 is Jo.OJ. Here is a chaiu'e. by taking three together, 

 to get them, freight paid, al f I'om )f3.50 to $4.00 each. 

 This is a special offer for a limited time. 



BUSHEL BO.VES. 



It is Hearing tlie time when potatoes, tomatoes, 

 onions, and otlier special crops must be taken care 

 of; and those wlio handle them will be (or ought to 

 bei considering the ea.siest, cheapest, and best means 

 of doing so. T. B. Terry lias conclusively shown, 

 in Ills admirable little book, the A B C of Potato 

 Culture, that potatoes bring a better price, can be 

 liandled with less work, and better in every way, by 

 using bushel boxes. More and more eacli year are 

 learning the truth of Mr. Terry's reasoning, and 

 some are also tiiiding out that tliese bo.xes are 

 equally valuable for handling otlier crops, such as 

 onions, tomatoes, cucumbers, melons, etc. We 

 make and keep in stock three styles of these boxes, 

 as atlvertised in another column. If none of these 

 is to your notion, we are I'repared to make any 

 .style you want, in any rjuantity mot less than lOUi, 

 at very l(jw prices. We use basswood, wliicli holds 

 nails "witliout splitting, and is lighter tlian any 

 other wood we could use. Dealers or agents wish- 

 ing to work up large orders will do well to write us 

 for special prices. 



LAWN-.MOWERS AT COST. 



As tlie season is getting late, and we have a stock 

 of machines greater tliaii we care to carry over, we 

 offer them for the next OJ days, or as long as they 

 last, at tlie following cut prices, which are about 

 i;ost to us. or below, and about 20 per cent below our 

 regular list price.

Here is a rare chance to get a good machine 

 cheap. Even if you don't ni^ed it till ne.xt summer, 

 this is good interest on your money. Kemeijaber, 

 these are no seconds or inferior goods. The Globe 

 is a higli-grade machine, first class in every respect. 



The 'V'oung America is a good light machine with a 

 single drive-wheel. On the inside of back cover of 

 last number you will llnd cut and further particu- 

 lars In regard to these mowers, as well as of the 

 wheelbarrows mentioned in this department. 



DOVETAILED CHAFF HIVES AND WINTEK CASES. 



During these extremely hot days, when the tlier- 

 mometer is hovering around 100° in the shade, and 

 when one can hardly move a finger without .starting 

 the perspiration. It maj' seem incongruous and out 

 of pliice to mention chaff hives and winter eases. 

 It is a wise general that plans for the whole cam- 

 paign, so it is not too soon to begin thinking and 

 plamiing how you will protect your bees during the 

 cold weather that's coming by and by. If you are 

 in the extreme north, say above latitude 42°, prob- 

 ably the safest way to winter is in the cellar. Those 

 south of latitude 36° or 37°, are, with few exceptions, 

 not bothered with the wintering problem. Those 

 between these limits, with some exceptional locali- 

 ties, can winter best out of doors; but some addi- 

 tional protection more than the ordinar\- sitiglo- 

 walled hi\es is needed for safe and ecoiionlical win- 

 tering. Those who use our dovetailed 8-fiame hive, 

 or similar hive of same size, can not do better than 

 use our dovetailed winter case, and it is better to 

 use with it the telescopic cover. The winter cases 

 list at $3.60 for 10, and the covers at $:.'.riO, dr $(5.oo 

 for the two. See pages 23 and 34 of our price list 

 for further particulars. As a special Introduction 

 price, to get a good many to try them, we will send, 

 to those who have not tried them, 10 winter cases 

 with telescoiiic covers for $5.CI0; or the cases without 

 the coveis for !B:i.OO. These prices are for goods in 

 the flat, and do not include any cushions. 



The dovetailed chaff' hive affords protection from 

 the cold in fall, winter, and spring, and extreme 

 heat in summer; .saves the bother of packing and 

 unpacking, and costs only 40 cts. more than a 

 single-walled hive furnished in the same way. 



SECOND-HAND FOUND.ATION-MILLS. 



We have the following list of second-hand foun- 

 dation machines which liave accumulated during 

 the past few months, .some in exchange for new 

 machines, others from those who have decided to 

 buy what foundation they use. We give as fair a 

 description as we can of these machines, with the 

 price at which we will sell. We can furnish sam- 

 ples from any of the machines to intending pur- 

 chasers.

 queens, each, 7.5c. Tested queens, each, $1.50.
