COMB-HONEY CARTONS AND LABELS. 



The Stock for cartons costs now more than double 

 what we paid eight months ago when present prices 

 were figured, so that we must make a further ad- 

 vance of 75 cts. per 1000, or $1.50 added to pres- 

 ent list price. 



Paper of all kinds, and ink, have advanced to 

 such an extent that on all orders for labels and oth- 

 er printing we must advance 20 to 30 per cent over 

 the prices now listed. New lists will be issued 

 shortly. 



FURTHER ADVANCES BECAUSE OF INCREASED COST. 

 The two-wheeled cart listed at $10.00 is raised to 

 $12.50, and without box to $10.50. Daisy wheel- 

 barrow is raised to $4.50; the Coggshall bee-brush is 

 raised to 20 cts. ; No. 1 bee-veil is now priced at 

 $1.00; No. 2 bee-veil is now priced at 70 cts.; No. 3 

 bee-veil is now priced at 60 cts. ; Alexander bee-veil 

 priced at 70 cts.; Hatch wax-press at $7.00. 



BEESWAX MARKET LOWER. 



We have had an unusual number of offerings of 

 beeswax from beekeepers as well as dealers for this 

 season of the year, and have an unusually large 

 stock on hand. For several years before the war 

 there was a shortage of wax at this season of the 

 year, and prices reached their highest level in May 

 and June. Till further notice we quote 27 cts. cash, 

 29 trade, delivered at Medina for average wax.

THE BARKER WEEDER, MULCHER, AND CULTIVATOR. 



The little tool I have written up so fully in this 

 issue will be found pictured in our advertising 

 pages. There is one part of it not shown in the 

 advertisement ; and that is, the three cultivator teeth 

 on the opposite side of the scuffle-hoe shown in the 

 cut. These teeth are keen and sharp-pointed, and 

 on a curve, so that they cut into the soil with less 

 force than anything I have ever gotten hold of. 

 After having used the tool a week or more since my 

 write-up. I am still of the opinion that it is going to 

 make a revolution in gardening — especially in the 

 line of hand cultivators.
