GLEANINGS IN BEE CULTURE. 



Oct. 15 



COLD-FRAME SASH. 



We are prepared to furnish these, made of pine or 

 cvpress, for either S or 11 inch glass, at SO cts. each, 

 $3.75 for 5, or $7.00 for 10, shipped K D. The pine 

 sash have side bars 354 inches wide by 6 ft. long. The 

 cj'press sash have 254-inch side-bars full \% in. thick, 

 and onlv 3 feet 3 in wide. 



GLASS, 8x10. 

 We have quite a stock of 8x10 glass for sash, which 

 we offer at $2.75 per box; 5 boxes, $13; 10 boxes or 

 more at $2.50 per box. This is a special low price, > e- 

 low what some of it cost us, but in keeping with the 

 present market pi ice. 



HONKY MARKET. 



We are having a fair trade in honey at good prices, 

 compared with what it is bringing in some markets. 

 Fancy comb goes off best of anything. Estrac ed and 

 the lower grades of comb sell more slowly. We havf 

 a good stock of extracted on hand, and a more limited 

 supply of comb. 



BUSHEL BASKETS. 



We have in stock a few dozen oak-splint bushel 

 baskets, such as we formerly listed in our department- 

 store catalog. These we offer, while they last, for the 

 common lap-splint kind, 3 for 60 cts. ; 6 for $1.10, or 12 

 for $2.00. For the genuine Briggs ba-sket. which will 

 hold grain, 3 for 75 cts.; 6 for $1.40. 12 for $2.75. 



EARLY-ORDER DISCOUNTS. 



Remember the discount for cash orders this month 

 is t) per cent from present catalog prices, which are 

 higher on .some things than printed in our last cata- 

 log. Quite a good many have taken advantage of this 

 discount, and have sent us liberal orders for next sea- 

 son. If you know what you need for next season, and 

 can raise the money to pay for it, it is much to your 

 advantage to order now, securing the liberal discount 

 as well as getting the material on hand ready to put 

 up and get ready for use while you have the leisure 

 time in the winter. 



BUSHEL CRATES. 



In working up so much basswood lumber into sec- 

 tions, etc. we get a quantity of material of a grade 

 not quite good enough for sections, but which makes 

 suitable slats for bu.shel boxes. We have accumulated 

 quite a stock of all-sla'.ted boxes, put up 14 in a crate, 

 2 nailed, 12 knocked down, and nails included to put 

 them together. Owing to increased cost of lumber we 

 had marked our prices up to ?2 10 per crate ; but we 

 will continue the old price, $1 9.}, for a while, to work 

 off some of the present stock. A good deal of this 

 stock is put up with oak corners and bottom end cross- 

 piece, which receive the nails. This makes a very 

 strong and durable crate. The slats are not rough- 

 sawn, like the ordinary cheap crate, but are smooth. 



CHICAGO BRANCH. 



We call attention to an announcement in another 

 column of a rhange in our Chicago agency. Some 

 years ago. when we bought out the supply business of 

 Thos. G. Newman it was continued for several years 

 in the name of The A. I. Root Co., with Mr. George 

 W. York as manager. Later Mr. York took over the 

 supplies ani conducted it in his name. Now we take 

 the business and stock on hand back again, and 

 will hereafter conduct it in our name. ;\Ir. York still 

 remains in the office with the Avierican Bee Journal 

 for the present. Mr. I,. W Boyden. a brother of our 

 secretary, is taking rharge under the drection of this 

 office, and with Mr. York at hand for advice and con- 

 sultation. For over twenty years Mr. York has 

 worked in connection with the bee-supply business 

 — fir't under Mr. Newman, and later under his own 

 direction. He has been an indefatigable worker. In 

 connection with the editing of the Atnerican Bee Jour- 

 nal^ which comes out weekly on time as regular as 

 clockwork, he has accomplished an amount of work 

 that few would survive under. After so many years 



of unremitting toil he desires some relief, and there- 

 fore relinquishes the supply business, still retaining 

 the Bee Journal.

GROWING ONIONS TO BUNCH UP— OUR FIVE CENT BOOK. 



This little book is finally ready, and it is more of 

 an onion book than we at first expected to make it. 

 Everybody who grows onions, especially these who 

 start onions under glass, can afford to invest Jive cents 

 in our new onion-book. 



AT THE CABIN IN THE WOODS ONCE MORE. 



I have been changing about so much lately that I 

 do not know but it may bother some of the friends to 

 know just where I am " at " a great deal of the time. 

 In fact, our good pastor has been nicknaming me 

 ■globetrotter." I do not know but he ftels a little 

 like complaining because I am not on hand more of 

 the time to hear his excellent sermons, and to ques- 

 tion him, as I usually do. about them afterward. Well, 

 next Monday morning, Oct. 12, Mrs. Root and I start 

 once more for the cabin, or, as our youngest daughter 

 will have it, our "cottage "in the woods. We shall 

 lie there about two weeks while I dig my seed-potatoes 

 and ship them down to Medina; and then I expect to 

 be here in Medina quite a little spell unless God in 

 his wisdom calls me elsewhere.
