Do you want a Good w^ 

 Market for your Crop of Honey, 



BOTH COMB AND EXTRACTED? 



We are in position to handle any quantity, large or small, to better advantage than any other house, for the 



following reasons : 

 We deal almost exclusively in honey, giving it our closest attention all the year round. 

 We keep ourselves thoroly posted as to the result of the crops gathered in the honey-producing States. 

 We are acquainted with the most desirable trade thruout the country, and know exactly what their wants are. 

 We know, thru our long experience, the different varieties and qualities of honey ; therefore know what we 



are selling, and no fear of selling fancy stock at the price of a third grade. 

 We handle by far the bulk of all the honey sent to New York, and our volume of business enables us to 



make the charges very reasonable. 

 Why, then, should we not be able to handle your crop to advantage, and do you justice in every respect ? 

 We handle not only on commission, but WE BUY OUTRIGHT as well, from small lots to carloads, 



for spot cash. 

 If you prefer to sell your product, write us, stating quantity' you have, qualitj", and how put up, and we will 



make you our cash offer. 

 We shall be glad to correspond with you in reg'ard to your crop, and hope to have the pleasure of hearing 



from you soon.

I»rices in Oerniaiij'.— Altho we 



may envy German bee-keepers the prices 

 they get for honey, when it comes to live- 

 stock we would hardly be satisfied with 

 some of their prices. In Gravenhorsfs 

 Bienenzeitung, C. Burgdorf advertises 

 heather swarms at t'»3 cents to .^l.UO. accord- 

 ing to weight and strength, and laying 

 queens after Sept, 15 at 2.5 cents. 



As OtlK-rs See 1,'s. — W. Woodley, in 

 the British Bee Journal, speaks in not the 

 most flattering terms of the way some 

 things are done in England, and says: 



'■ Sections ought to be so carefully graded 

 that every section in the dozen or gross is 

 as nearly equal in quality and close approx- 

 imation of weight as possible. This will 

 have to be done it we are going to make 

 progress. Many American bee-keepers use 

 mechanical ' cleaners ' for preparing their 

 sections for market and adopt the ' no-drip 

 cases' for transit. This arrangement pre- 

 vents any ' drip ' of honey from a broken 

 section damaging the layers below. I have 

 written on this subject frequently, and the 

 more I inquire into the matter the more 

 convinced am I that we Britishers are much 

 behind in preparing our commodities for 

 market; possibly necessity was the mother 

 that brought forth the 'inventions ' for im- 

 proving these things elsewhere, but the 

 fact remains that they have stolen a long 

 march on us in these things, and, in conse- 

 quence, command the best market prices 

 for their painstaking labors." 



As We See Olliers.— W, Woodley, 

 in the British Bee Journal, tells family se- 

 crets about marketing honey, as follows:

Yellow Sweet Clover Seed 



WE HAVE IT AT LAST ! 

 We have finally succeeded in getting a small 

 quantity of the seed of the yellow variety of 

 sweet clover. This kind blooms from two to 

 four weeks earlier than the common or white 

 variety of sweet clover. It also grows much 

 shorter, only about two feet in higlit. It is as 

 much visited by the bees as the white, and usu- 

 ally comes into bloom ahead of white clover 

 and basswood. We offer the seed as a premium 



A QUARTER POUND FOR SENDING 

 ONE NEW SUBSCRIPTION. 



So long as it lasts, we will mail a quarter 

 pound of the seed to a legular paid-up subscri- 

 ber who sends us ONE NEW subscriber for the 

 American Bee Journal for 1900, with $1.00. We 

 will also " throw in " the balance of IH^IO to such 

 new subscriber. Surely, this is a great offer. 

 We have been trying for years to secure this 

 seed, and finally succeeded in getting it. It is 

 new seed, gathered this season by an old per- 

 sonal friend of ours, so we know it is all right. 

 Hut we have only a small supply. When nearly 

 out we will mentit>ii it.
