Special Notices 



By Our Business Manager 



second-hand cans. 

 We have emptied a good many five-gallon cans of 

 honey in the last six months, the majority of which 

 have been destroyed. We have saved the best of 

 them, and can recommend them for use in ship- 

 ping dark or off grades of honey. We would not 

 advise any thing short of new cans for choice white 

 honey: but for amber or off grades a second-hand 

 can In good condition will answer nicely. We offer 

 these cans, packed two in a case, at $3.00 for 10 box- 

 es; $25.00 for 100 boxes; 50 at 100 rate. 



NO. 50 jars with porcelain top. 

 We have on hand a few gross of No. 25 jars with 

 porcelain top and lacquered tin rim, packed one 

 gross in a crate, which we offer as they are, to close 

 out, at $5.50 per gross: 5 gross at $5.25. We have not 

 been advertising them packed in this way for some 

 time, and this Is some old stock which has been on 

 hand for some time. A few of the caps may be 

 slightly spotted with rust: but, being lacquered, 

 they are protected and In fairly good condition. 



MAPLE syrup and SUGAR. 



The season to date has not been very favorable for 

 producing maple syrup or sugar: and, as a result, 

 the supply is rather limited. What we have se- 

 cured to date is'very fine, and we quote as follows: 



1 one-gallon can, $1.25 per gallon. 



1 case of 6 one gallon cans. 81.15 per gallon. 



2 or more cases at $1.10 per gallon. 



We are practically sold out in sugar and can not 

 accept orders except in very limited quantities and 

 at a higher price than quoted in previous Issue of 

 Gleanings. 



SWEET-CLOVER SEED. 



We have a good stock of hulled yellow-sweet-clo- 

 ver seed of both varieties, and a fair supply of 

 white, both hulled and unhulled. Just as we go to 

 press we have secured about 600 lbs. of hulled white 

 in Kansas, and for the next few days we will accept 

 orders for shipment direct from Gordon, Kansas, 

 while this stock lasts, at regular prices. To parties 

 in the East we can ship hulled white from New 

 York city subject to previous sale. 



A NEW foundation-machine AT SECOND-HAND 

 PRICE IN CANADA. 



If any of our Canadian customers are in want o2 

 a six-inch thin super-foundation mill we know of 

 one which the owner claims has never been used, 

 and which he wants to dispose of. It can be had at 

 the shipping-point in Ontario for $18.00, subject to 

 previous sale. We can not supply samples from 

 the machine, but offer It on the representation of 

 the party now holding it, whom we have every rea- 

 son to believe is reliable.
