GLEANINGS IN BEE CULTURE 



35 



Special Notices 



By OUB Business Manager 



We are having quite a call for white extracted 

 honey, either in barrels or cans. If any one has a 

 supply on hand we suggest he write us. We have 

 a good market for it. Please state the amount you 

 have, how put up for shipment, and price you want 

 for it delivered at your railroad station. It has 

 been our experience that honey will sell for a bet- 

 ter price just before the opening of the maple sugar 

 and syrup season, which will begin soon. This is 

 our reason for suggesting that any producer ship 

 his honey now. 



BUCKWHEAT SEED. 



Some months ago it was reported in the columns 

 of Gleanings that silverhull or gray buckwheat 

 was better for honey than the Japanese. We can 

 not say from personal observation. We are now 

 prepared to supply either Japanese or silverhull at 

 the following prices, bags included: Japanese buck- 

 wheat, 12 cts. ,jer lb., postpaid: not prepaid, peck, 35 

 cts.: M bushel, 65 cts.: bushel, $1.20; two bushels for 

 S2.25. Silverhull buckwheat, 13 cents per lb., post- 

 paid; not prepaid, peck, 42 cts.; V2 bushel, 75 cts.: 

 bushel, $1.40; S2.50 for two bushels. We furnish 50 

 pounds for a bushel. 



SWEET-CLOVER SEED. 



As we go to press, our stock of unhulled white- 

 sweet-clover seed is about exhausted. We have lo- 

 cated and ordered a further supply, but it costs us 

 more, and we are marking up the price on this va- 

 riety 2 cts. per lb. Revised price will be found in 

 our advertisement in next column. If there are, 

 among our readers, any who have sweet-clover 

 seed to sell we should be pleased to hear from them 

 with sample, stating quantity and the price asked 

 per pound. If you name a price by the bushel, let 

 us know how many pounds you furnish for a bush- 

 el. 



BEESWAX. 



From this date till further notice we will pay for 

 average beeswax delivered here 29 cts. per lb. cash, 

 or 31 in trade. For choice quality, 1 to 2 cents ex- 

 ' ra. Ship in strong bags, double, or in boxes or 

 L rrels securely nailed, being sure to put your 

 name and address in or on the package so that we 

 can identify it when it reaches us. Write us, send- 

 ing bill of lading, and stating weight you ship, 

 gross and net, so that we may know if any has been 

 lost out on the way. Shippers are often careless in 

 attending to these little details, and we take occa- 

 sion again to call your attention to them.

Sweet-clover 

 ^ >^ Seed ^ s* 



Sweet clover is one of the chief sources of honey 

 in Utah, Idaho, and other regions of the West, as 

 well as in many localities in the South and other 

 sections of the country. In recent years farmers 

 are also learning of its great value in enriching the 

 soil by the introduction of nitrogen. We recently 

 printed a booklet of about 50 pages entitled "The" 

 Truth about Sweet Clover." This contains the ex- 

 perience of a great many who have grown it to a 

 greater or less extent. We shall be pleased to mail 

 this booklet to those interested, free, on request. 

 We have a good stock of choice fresh seed which 

 we oflfer at the following prices. As to the compar- 

 ative value of the different varieties, we will say 

 that the white, or Meiilotus alba, is most common, 

 and therefore the best known. The yellow is de- 

 sirable because it begins blooming usually from 

 two to four weeks earlier than the white. As to 

 the two varieties of yellow, one of the experiment 

 stations has said there was a distinction without a 

 difference. From the testimony available, the an- 

 nual, or Meiilotus Tndica, blooms first; and in Cal- 

 ifornia, where our seed was procured, it is reported 

 as growing from two to six feet high, depending on 

 the character of soil, moisture, and other condi- 

 tions.
