five hives each, at $8.00. The same in 10-frame 

 size, 2 packages, one hive each, at $1.85, and 3 

 packages, five hives each, at $8.50. 



NO. 2 OR B GRADE HOFB^MAN FRAMES. 



In culling over the material cut into Hoffman 

 frames, we find pieces with slight defects which we 

 do not want to put into perfect stock, but which are 

 usable, and too good to throw into the furnace for 

 fuel. We have accumulated some stock of such 

 frames, which are packed 100 in a box, and oflfer 

 them at $2.25 per 100; $10.00 per 500. These are 

 a bargain at the price, to one who is not too partic- 

 ular as to what he uses. 



METAL SPACERS SLIGHTLY DEFECTIVE. 



In making the metal spacers for the metal-spaced 

 frames there are a percentage which come out either 

 sheared a little scant on one side, or with slight 

 breaks in the tin where it is drawn up into the 

 spacing-boss. Tliese are hardly passable as perfect 

 stock, but in actual use they will answer every pur- 

 pose as a spacer. Rather than throw these into the 

 scrap we will offer them while they last, including 

 nails to nail them on, at 20 cts. per 100; $1.80 per 

 1000. Transportation charges extra. 



1% n. P. SIXTY-SPEED ENGINE. 



We have in stock two of the engines we formerly 

 listed as sixty speed before adopting the Busy Bee 

 engine. These are mounted on wheels, and have a 

 counter shaft by means of which 60 different speeds 

 can be obtained by the various changes of pulley 

 sizes on the counter. This engine sold for $60.00. 

 We offer these to close out at $45.00 each. 



WHEELBARROW WHEELS. 



■ We have a number of extra steel wheels for wheel- 

 barrows, which we offer at a special price of $1.25 

 each, or, including a pair of springs with bearings, 

 for $2.00. These wheels are 20 inches in diameter, 

 with 114 -inch tire, and solid cast hub holding spokes 

 and axle in place. These wheels regularly sell at 

 $1.75, and springs at 50 cts, each. 



SUPKRS FOR EXTRACTED OR CHUNK HONEY. 



We are offering, while they last, the following bar- 

 gains in nailed supers for extracted honey. Some 

 have been slightly used, and are in good condition. 

 Prices f. o. b. Medina. 



200 D9/10, nailed and painted, with top and 

 bottom starters, nine frames in each, new. Sell new 

 for $1.20; offered at $6.00 for 10; $55.00 per 100. 



410 D8/10, nailed, and some painted two coats, 

 some one coat; 273 not painted. Sell new for 90 

 cts.; offered at $5.00 for 10; $45.00 per 100. 



180 D8/10 nailed supers, no paint. Sell new for 

 85 cts.; offered at $4.50 per 10; $40.00 per 100. 



The first two lots are the 5% -inch supers with 

 hanger cleats and shallow Danz. frames. The last 

 lot are the same depth supers with shallow Hoffman 

 frames hanging in rabbeted ends. Either style may 

 be used for extracting or divisible brood-chambers. 

 The price at which we offer them all nailed up is 

 much below the regular price of same shipped in 

 flat. 



TOBACCO DL'ST FOR KILLING INSECTS. 



Fine tobacco dust is used for dusting on lettuce 

 and other plants for killing the insects, as well as 

 for fertilizer. We have two kinds of dust — the Very 

 fine, from ground stems, which we offer at 20 cts. 

 for 10 lbs.; $1.50 per 100 lbs., or a ease of about 

 400 lbs. at $1.00 per 100 lbs. We can supply, also, 

 a much coarser dust from leaves, which is much 

 stronger, at 50 cts. per 10 lbs., $3.50 per 100 lbs. 



ALSIKE CLOVER SEED. 



We Still have a number of bushels of alsike clover 

 seed, which we offer, subject to previous sale, at 

 $10.00 per bushel, with 25 cts. extra for bag to 

 ship in. xVny quantity from a peck up at this rate. 

 Lot of two bushels or over, no extra for bags. It 

 will not last long at this priced If you want some, 

 better order promptly. 



SW^EET-CLOVER SEED. 

 We have a good supply of very choice hulled 

 white-sweet-clover seed scarified for quick germina- 

 tion, requiring only 10 lbs. per acre for a good 

 stand. We offer this for a short time to reduce 

 stock at $18.00 per 100 lbs. Now is the right time 

 for sowing with a nurse crop to produce hay or 

 bloom with seed next year. We have also choice 

 hulled yellow which we will sell at $15.00 per 100 

 lbs. A thousand pounds of hulled white for ship- 

 ment direct from Little Sioux, Iowa, not scarified, 

 offered at $15.00 per 100 for prompt acceptance. 



BEEHIVE PAINT ADVANCED. 



The prices of all ingredients used in making paint 

 has gone so high that we can no longer maintain 

 prices on paint which have been in force. We quote 

 till further notice, $2.75 per gallon; $1.40 per half- 

 gallon; 75 cts. per quart; 40 cts. per pint, with a 

 corresponding advance in the wholesale and jobbing 

 price. 



SPECIAL SASH FOR COLD-FRAMES. 



We have several dozen sash made for Root brood- 

 ers with four lights, 10 x 14, and measuring outside 

 24x34. We offer them open at 30 cts. each; 6 for 

 $1.50; with glass at 55 cts. each; 4 for $2.00. 

 These might be used on small cold-frames for start- 

 ing plants and are much cheaper for size than the 

 regular hot-bed sash. 



IMPROVED CAPPINGMELTBR. 



The capping-melter illustrated elsewhere in this is- 

 sue is covered by Beuhne's patent issued several 

 years ago, under which we secured license to manu- 

 facture. We will furnish these machines made of 

 galvanized iron at an introductory price of $15.00; 

 or, made of sheet copper, at $25.00. If these give 

 the satisfactoi"y service we have every reason to be- 

 lieve they will we expect to catalog them in the next 

 edition as " Beuhne's Improved Capping-melter." It 

 would make too long a name to include in it the 

 names of those instrumental in so improving the 

 original Beuhne as to make it so much more satis- 

 factory in operation.
