Special Notices. 



GLEANINGS SUBSCRIBERS. 



We are adopting a new sj'sleni of putting the ad- 

 dress en the wrapper, which will take some time to in- 

 stall. If, because of this, the chanee in date of ex- 

 piration of your subscription does not appear as 

 promptly as usual after you have mai ed us your sub- 

 scription, please be as patient as possible. Our print- 

 er who has usually done this work has been laid up 

 sick for over two months, and the work has g tten 

 considerably behind. We shall get it in shape in due 

 time. 



P.AI'ER HONEY-BAGS. 



We regret to say that the manufacturer upon whom 

 we have been depending for our supply of Aikin paper 

 honey-bags has been disappointing us seriously in the 

 delivery of the same, so we have been unable to fill all 

 orders for them.* Fifty-five thou.sand bpgs wrre order- 

 ed as long ago as April, and less than half that num- 

 ber have been delivered so far. We are short on 2 and 

 5 lb., the most popular sizes. We have ordered more 

 since, and are making arrangements with another 

 factory for a further supply so as to be prepared to 

 furnish the bags promptly. ' We believe in their future 

 as a cheap package for candied extfacttd honev, and 

 are doing our best to get them in sufficient quantities 

 to furnish our orders promptly We hope customers 

 whose orders are placed will be as patient as possible. 

 The orders placed with Mr. Aikin have suffered most, 

 as they are of longer standing. We have a supply of 

 2-lb. size in the darker color, not printed, which we 

 can furnish while they last. 



ADVANCING PRICES. 



We are compelled, in self-protection, to advance 

 still further our prices on a most all wcod goods listed 

 in our catalog. The advance in price of poplar and 

 basswood lumber during the past year has been the 

 most radical of any advance we have known in recent 

 years We ought to have advanced the price of sec- 

 tions in Maj- to keep pace with increasing cost of lum- 

 ber ; but with printed lists out, it is difficult to increase 

 the price right in the midst of the season, and make 

 people understand it. We have made and sold over 

 seven million sections since the first of May, and have 

 used up all the basswood delivered here "during the 

 past winter for next season's use, and a good deal be- 

 sides. The only thing that has made it possible for us 

 to continue the old price till now without loss is the 

 fact that last winter's cut of lumber was contracted 

 before the present high level of prices was reached. 

 The price of sections from now on will be as follows:

Revised tables of prices on hives, frames, section- 

 holders, fences, shipping ca>-es, etc., are being prepar- 

 ed, and will appear in our Sept. 1st issue. Copies will 

 be mailed to those interested on application, as soon 

 as ready We are planning to issue our complete cat- 

 alog, with revised prices, in September. 



CARTONS .•\DVANCED. 



Increased cost of strawboard has advanced the cost 

 of cartons to us nearly .50 per cent over what we paid 

 a year or two ago and we are obliged to advance all 

 prices $1..50 per lOOO in (|uantities large or small. This 

 applies to Ihe folding carton with or without tape han- 

 dles, but not to the Danzenbaker carton, which we 

 will still supply at the old prices.
