^p^jedal ^0tkes, 



Xo Correspondents. — It would save 



us much trouble, if all would be particular 

 to give their P. O. address and name, when 

 writing-to this office. We have several letters 

 (some inclosing money) that have no name; 

 many others having no Post-Office, County 

 or State. Also, if you live near one post^ 

 office and get your mail at another, be sure 

 to give the address we have on our list. 



Dr. Miller's Book, "A Year Among 

 the Bees," and the Bee JouRNAii for one 

 year, we will club for $1.50. 



A Ne^iv Crate to hold one dozen one-pound 

 sections of honey.— It has a strip of glass on 

 each side, to allow the honey to be seen. It 

 is a light and attractive package. As it holds 

 but one tier of sections, no damage from the 

 drippings from an upper tier can occur. We 

 can furnish the material, ready to nail, for 

 9 cts. per crate. Glass l^c. per light, extra. 



Red Ijabels for one-pound pails of 

 boney, size 3x4|i inches. — We have just 

 gotten up a lot of these Labels, and can 

 supply them at the following prices : 100 

 for $1.00 ; 250 forSl.rjO ; oOO for $2.00 ; 1,000 

 for S;t.00 ; all with name and address of 

 apiaiist printed on them— by mail, postpaid. 



Yncoa Bruslies are employed for re- 

 moving bees from the combs. They are a 

 Boft, vegetable fiber, and do not irritate the 

 bees. As each separate fiber extends the 

 whole length of the handle as well as the 

 brush, they are almost indestructable. 

 When they become sticky with honey, they 

 can be washed, and when dry, are as good 

 as ever. The low price at which they are 

 sold, enables any bee-keeper to have six or 

 more of them, so as to always have one 

 handy. We can supply them at 5 cents 

 each, or 50 cents a dozen ; if sent by mail, 

 add 1 cent each for postage

Frank Ijewlie's Popular Iflontlily for 



October opens with a most interesting 

 article. "The Tragic Close of a Strange 

 Reign," the story of Louis II. of Bavaria 

 well told and illustrated. The charming 

 "Walks about London "capitally illustrated, 

 is as good as an actual visit to the vicinity 

 of the great capital of England, while 

 "Summer Saunterings about Lake George" 

 makes us feel that we have in our land all 

 that is grand and romantic and interesting. 

 Altogether the number is one that, in 

 variety of topics, charm of writing and 

 fineness of illustration, is unmistakably a 

 hit. The plate, in gold and colors, is 

 exquisite. 



The Convention History of America 



and the American Bee Journal for one 

 year, will be clubbed for $1,15. 



U^~ Sweet Clover, or Melilotus Alha, is 

 almost the only resource for honey now, 

 on account of the late severe July drouth. 

 If the seed is planted in September, it will 

 come up this Fall and bloom next year, in 

 its second season. 



We have a large lot of this seed on hand, 

 and offer it at the following Reduced 

 Prices, by express or freight : 



One pound $0 20 



" peck— 15 lbs 2 25 



" bushel-fiOlbs 7 00 



" sack— 80 lbs 8 00 



It will pay to buy it by the sack and sell it 

 again in smaller quantities. 



^*~ If you want a chance to make some 

 money, and provide pasturage for the bees 

 during the Fall months, this is your oppor- 

 tunity 1
