BEESWAX wanted. 



We are in the market for beeswax, and are paying 

 26 cents cash, 28 cents trade, for average wax deliver- 

 ed here. The market price of wax is higher than is 

 usual at this time of year, hence the above offer, 

 which is as much as we have paid at any time during 

 the past year. If you have any to offer you will do 

 well to ship it. Be sure the packages are put up se- 

 curely, and marked with your name and address, and 

 send us a notice by mail, stating the exact weight of 

 your shipment, gross, tare, and net, so that when we 

 receive it we may know whom it comes from, and 

 whether any has been lost on the way. 



During the past ten days we received two cars of 

 comb honey from Colorado, containing over 2.300 cases 

 of choice white honey. After filling our orders we 

 have only about 200 cases left ; and at the rate orders 

 are coming these will last onlj' a few days. We have 

 considerable Michigan honey bought, but the most of 

 this is also sold again, and is shipped out as soon as it 

 arrives. We have also a lively trade in extracted hon- 

 ey, and most of this moves out about as fast as receiv- 

 ed. Many lots sold from sample go direct from the 

 producer to our customer. Reports received from 

 Colorado indicate that most of the honey which can 

 be shipped hy carload has already been picked up by 

 large buyers, and the price is very firm. We are sell- 

 ing fancy white at 17 cts. ; No. 1 at KJ ; amber at 2 cts. 

 less than white. Extracted brings from 7 to 10 cts. 

 per pound, according to quality. Clover honey in 

 glass jars of a scant pound capacity we are selling to 

 the merchants at $4.0U per case of 2 dozen jars. 



n Special Notices by A. I. Root. 



wanted — early potatoes for seed for florida 

 planting. 



From whom in North Carolina can I get some good 

 Irish potatoes for seed ? I want potatoes that were 

 dug in July, or early enough so that, if planted here 

 between now and Nov. 10, they will sprout and not 

 rot in the ground. Northern and Eastern seed pota- 

 toes, if planted much before December or January, 

 usually rot in the ground, not having been dug a suffi- 

 cient time before planting — or at least that is the gen- 

 eral opinion here. W. R. Moses. 



West Palm Beach, Fla., Oct. 2. 



We choose to give the above a place here free of 

 charge, because the matter is one that has come up 

 several times. Will whoever has such potatoes as are 

 described correspond directly with friend Moses? and 

 I wish the latter would let me know his success in 

 growing the first new potatoes for our city markets. 



KIND WORDS FROM OUR CUSTOMERS. 



The premium queen received July 11 has proved to 

 be purely mated, and is an unusually fine specimen 

 of her class. She is quite as large and yellow as my 

 best breeders, and I am very we'll pleased with her. 



Pcnllyu, Pa., Aug 4. J. C. Dktwiler. 



I inclose herewith SI 00 to pay for Gleanings. I 

 will add that the queen (premium) received from you 

 last season is doing so well ih t I reque.'^t that another 

 be sent under the -ame conditions. C. W. Rice. 



Pleasant Valley, Va., Aug. 19. 



\ kind word for the .\ b c book. 

 Deal Friend Root : — Are j'ou surpiised to know you 

 are my friend? Years ago a neighbor gave me your 

 ABC bjok, the first is-sue, and it has been my guide 

 and friend ever since. I have followed its teachings 

 pretty closely, and succeeded beyond all I dared to 

 hope for.
