GLEANINGS IN BEE CULTURE.

them out in the field. I think I would shake off the 

 most of the jadoo, or mix it well with the soil around 

 the plant, for field planting, because the freezing and 

 thawing of winter, and especially spring, is much 

 more liable to throw out a plant grown in jadoo than 

 where grown in ordinary soil, as the jadoo is so very 

 light and friable. Now, I would recommend every 

 strawberry-grower, who has not seen a potted plant 

 as above, to order at least one for a sample. We have 

 a very good stock on hand ready to ship, of nearly all 

 the varieties mentioned in our catalog: and until fur- 

 ther orders you may have any of them (including 

 Nick Ohmer, Glen Mary, and Clyde) postpaid by mail 

 for 4 cents each, or for 3 cents each by express, not 

 prepaid. Fifty or more potted plants I think I would 

 have sent by express.

 Muth square glass honey-jars, so must raise our price

ADVANCED PRICE LISTS. 



As advised in our last issue, we append below new 

 price li-^ts on various lines of goods which go into ef- 

 fect at once. The advance on wire nails is much 

 greater than I anticipated it would be. The manu- 

 facturers adopted, on July 20 a new list of prices on 

 fine wire nails, which is about double the old list; 

 hence the large advance on these sizes. The advance 

 in perforated zinc has been in effect for some time, 

 also part of the advance in Record pails. 



Advanced price lists will follow in liter issues on 

 other items. When you take into consideration the 

 fact that the different grades of lumber that we use in 

 the manufacture of goods have already advanced 20 

 to 80 per cent, and that every prospect points to still 

 further advances, also that wire nails and other wire 

 products have doubled in price; that tin plate has ad- 

 vanced 70 per cent, and is likely to go still higher, and 

 other metals in like proportion, you must not be sur- 

 prised at a much less percentage of advance in the 

 price of manufactured products. With all these ad- 

 vances comes al«o an advance in the cost of labor, 

 which enhances the cost of manufacture as well. Our 

 profits have not been such as to enable us to pay all 

 these advances and still sell g ods at the same old 

 ptice; hence the necessity for marking prices up.
