 suggestions what to plant, and when 

 and how. It is illustrated with 26 en- 

 gravings, and will be sent postpaid to

 ers' Association will meet at Manhat- 

 tan, Kansas, on June 30, 1883. 



Thos. Bassler, Sec. 



A new edition, revised and enlarged, 

 the new pages being devoted to new 

 Recipes for Honey Medicines, all kinds 

 of cooking in which honey is used, and 

 healthful and pleasant beverages. 



We have put the price of them low 

 to encourage bee-keepers to scatter 

 them far and wide. Single copy 6 

 cents, postpaid; per dozen, 50 cents; 

 per hundred, $4.00. On orders of 100 

 or more, we print, if desired, on the 

 cover-page, "Presented by," etc., 

 (giving the name and address of the 

 bee-keeper who scatters them). This 

 alone will pay him for all his trouble 

 and expense— enabling him to dispose 

 of his honey at home, at a good profit. 



The Apiary Register. 



All who intend to be systematic in 

 their work in the apiary, should get a 

 copy and commence to use it. 



For 50 colonies (120 pages) $1 00 



" 100 colonies 220 pages 1 50 



" 200 colonies (420 pages) 2 00 



The larger ones can be used for a 

 few colonies, give room for an increase 

 of numbers, and still keep the record 

 all together in one book, and are there- 

 fore the most desirable ones. 



^" On page 261,33d line from top 

 of first column, instead of " follow- 

 ing," iBAd^" preceding seasons."

 of Prof. Cook's Manual of the Apiary, 

 bound in fine cloth, for 12.75, or the

 soon be withdrawn, those who desire 

 it should send for the book at once.

CINCINNATI. 



HONET.— The nfarket for extracted honey is 

 lively, and the demand exceeds the arrivals. Onr 

 slock Is small and we are in dancer of having sold 

 out every day. We pay Ttaioc. for good honey on 

 arrival, the latter price for choice clover. There 

 is a small demand for comb honey, and prices 

 nominal.

 We pay 35c. for a good article on arrival.

HONEY.— I sold, of the comb honev crop of 18«2. 

 up to the first of JanuHry, l-'^N;i. nearly rjo.OdO lbs; 

 since January 1st to April 1st. sales have been slow, 

 and vet 70,(khi pounds have been diflpoaed of. 



There is, perhaps, a few tons of dark and buck- 

 wheat comb honey on this market that will not be 

 consumed before the new crop comes into market. 



There has been 3 pounds of comb honey crop of 

 IBH-J offered in this market, to one of the crop of 

 IS.'ll. 



Extracted honey has afrgregated in sales 140,000 

 pounds. There is, perhaps, a good deal to carry 

 over, vet on the market. Prices since the t3rst of 

 December, 1Hs2. have gradually declined until the 

 present date. At this late hour, holders are anxious 

 to sell: hence prices vary very much.

1^" Do not send coins in a letter. It 

 is dangerous and increases the postage 

 unnecessarily. Always send postage 

 stamps, for fractions of a dollar, and, 

 if you can get them — one-cent stamps ; 

 if not, any denomination of postage 

 stamps will do. 



^"Do not let your numbers of the 

 Bee Journal for 1882 be lost. The 

 best way to preserve them is to pro- 

 cure a binder and put them in. They 

 are very valuable for reference.
