SWBBT-CLOVER SEED. 



We receive numerous inquiries from our readers, 

 asking where they can get sweet-clover seed. We 

 have on hand here, also in Chicago, the unhulled white 

 at 22 cts. per lb., postpaid; 10 lbs. for $1.00 by express 

 or freight; 100 lbs for $8.00, bag included. We have 

 here also the hulled white at 8 cts. per lb. extra. 



yellow SWEET-CLOVER SEED. 



Just before going to press we have located some 

 yellow sweet-clover seed in South Carolina, which we 

 have secured to supply orders. Until further notice 

 the price will be 30 cts. per lb., postpaid; 10 lbs., by 

 express or freight, for i'1.80; 100 lbs., $16.00. 



.JAPANESE BUCKWHEAT. 



We have a very limited supply of Japanese buck- 

 wheat seed. If any one reading this knows of a stock 

 of choice seed for sale we should be pleased to hear of 

 it. Until further notice we shall have to make our 

 price, including bag to ship in, 40 cts. per peck; 75 cts. 

 per Vs bushel; $1.40 per bushel; $2.50 for two bushels. 



OUB COVER PAGE. 



The cover page of Gleanings for this issue repre- 

 sents the tropic zone. The broad-leaved plants are 

 probably plantains— a near relative of the banana. 

 Both are honey-plants. The banana fruit is also rep- 

 resented just as it grows, seemingly upside down to 

 persons unacquainted with it. 



DAISY WHBBLBABROWS. 



We have just received a carload of wheelbarrows 

 from the factory, which are quite an improvement on 

 the last carload previous to this. They cost us more, 

 and the price should be raised to $4.00 each, and they 

 will be so listed in the next edition of our cittalog. 

 For the present we will furnish them at the san:e 

 price at which we have been selling— $3.50 each. 



FACTS ABOUT BEES. 



This little book, describing the Danzenbaker hive 

 and system, has been out of prim for several months. 

 We have entirely rewritten it, and published a new 

 edition which is just completed and ready for mailing. 

 It is somewhat enlarged, and printed on enameled pa- 

 per, and we have placed a price on it of 10 cents. The 

 applications we have on file will be filled as fast as 

 possible, regardless of price. In size and contents we 

 believe it will be considered a valuable book at the 

 price.
