HONEY MARKET. 



The demand for honey continues brisk, and the sup- 

 ply limited. Since our' last issue we have received 

 from Wisconsin nearly half a car of nice white comb 

 honey, which has enabled us to fill our orders and fur- 

 nish others who were waiting. This lot is going rap- 

 idly, and very soon will all be shipped out. We have 

 more engaged from the .same quarter, which will ar- 

 rive soon. We are selling fancy white at 14 to 15 cts.; 

 No. 1 white, 13 to 14 cts., and other grades lower. Shall 

 be pleased to hear from those in need of honey, either 

 comb or extracted. 



WHITE-POPLAR SECTIONS. 



Dr. G. 1,. Tinker used to make a specialty of four- 

 piece dovetailed sections made of quaking-asp or 

 white poplar. We have ju-t bought from his success- 

 or two carloads of this lumber, and are now in posi- 

 tion to furnish four-piece sections made of it. The 

 wood is about the same color as white basswood, but 

 is harder. It can not be used to make one-piece sec- 

 tions, as it will not fold without breaking. Price will 

 he the same as for regular foui -piece sections as quot- 

 ed in our catalog. 



G.4RDENING FOR OCTOBER. 



Now is the time to plant out basswood trees And, 

 by the way, just take a look in the nurserymen's cat- 

 alogs and see what they charge you for basswoods 

 compared with our prices. The reason why we are 

 awav down below the fruit-tree men is because we 

 are anxious to introduce the basswood for the benefit 

 of bee-keepers. A basswood once started yields honey 

 for a lifetime, and probably during the lifetime of 

 your children; and at the present time I believe there 

 IS no other plant or tree known that yields as 

 much honev-, for the amount of ground it occupies, as 

 ba,sswood. 



Asparagus and horseradish roots can also be put out 

 now; but I would rather advise putting out asparagus- 

 roots in the spring. Horseradish is never winter-kill- 

 ed, so far as I know. People- who have had experience 

 can also put out strawberry- plants in October, and 

 have them live. If this weather continues they may 

 make quite a grow h In fact, strawberries do grow 

 more or less all winter long. For those who wish to 

 trv it. we will make the following low prices: Jessie, 

 Rio, Sharpless, Warfield, Bubach, and Haverland, 10 

 plants for 10 cts.; 100 for 50 cts.; 1000, $i 50. Marshall, 

 Brandvwine, and Wm. Belt, 15 cts. for 10 ; 75 cts. per 

 100; >*ti00 per 1000. Carrie and Margaret, double the 

 above prices. Nick Ohmer we will furnish 10 plants 

 for 40 cts ; S2.00 per 100. If wanted by mail, add to 

 the above prices 5 cts. for 10, or 25 cts. for 100, for post- 

 age. If you have not had experience in setting out 

 strawberry-plants in the fall, it might be well for you 

 to invest in a few, say 10 of each of .some of the best 

 kinds; then if you succeed all right, next time 3'ou 

 can venture more largely. A strawberry-plant put 

 out in the fall will be away ahead of one set out the 

 following spring providing you do not let the frost 

 kill it by heaving it out. Mulching with coarse ma- 

 nure, properly applied after the ground freezes the 

 first time, will stop the heaving-out business if it is 

 put on right and the plants properly cared for.
