.JAPANESE buckwheat. 



We have a very limited supply of Japanese buck- 

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

 of choi'-e 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 % bushel; $1.40 per bushel; $2.50 for two bushels. 



second-hand 60-LB. CANS. 



We have on hand from 100 to 200 boxes of good sec- 

 ond-hand 60-lb. honey-cans, two in a box. The cans 

 are free from rust on the inside, and very little on the 

 outside. The boxes are repaired and in good condi- 

 tion. We offer these in .5-box lots or over at 40 cts. a 

 box; 25 boxes at 35 cts. a box; 50 boxes at 30 cts a. 

 box. These prices are for shipment from Medina only. 



half-pound tumblers. 

 In making up the two pages of honey-packages in 

 our catalog this year we omitted the half-pound tum- 

 bler. We have these packed 32 dozen to the barrel at 

 $5.50 per barrel, or packed in partitioned cases of four 

 dozen each, ready to reship when the tumblers are 

 filled with honey, without additional packing; parch- 

 ment or wax-paper discs also included; $1.00 per case; 

 10 cases at 95 cts. ; 25 cases or over at 90 cts. 



BUSINESS improving. 



As we go to press we are having the first real sum- 

 mer weather since the latter part of March, and pros- 

 pects are much improved in consequence. Those bee- 

 keepers who have looked after their bees to see that 

 they were not allowed to starve for lack of feed are 

 hopeful of a honey crop, as the season is fully three 

 to four weeks later than usual in many localities. 

 Orders are doing very well considering all the condi- 

 tions. We are in position to serve you promptly. 



ONE AND FIVE GALLON CANS. 



We have an extra large stock of one and five gallon 

 cans which we offer, to reduce stock, for shipment 

 from Medina only, at the following prices: One-gallon 

 cans, with l^'j-inch screw-cap, $10.00 per 100; 500 or 

 over, at $9 00. Packed 10 in a case at $1.30; 10 cases or 

 over, at $1.20. Pive^gallon (60-lb.) cans packed two 

 in a case, 75 c. per box; $7.20 for 10 boxes; 25 boxes or 

 over at 70 cts. This offer is for only a limited time to 

 reduce stock, and you should mention it in ordering. 



further decline in beeswax. 

 From quotations received from wax-dealers we note 

 a decline of 2^ to 3 cents per lb. in the last six weeks. 

 The light demand for foundation during the same time 

 (due to unfavorable weather) leaves us with a large 

 stock — more than we shall need for the next six 

 months — of light demand. We therefore mark our 

 prices down to 28 cents cash, 30 cents trade, for aver- 

 age wax delivered here or at our branch offices. We 

 offer for sale about 5000 lbs. Santiago Cuban beeswax, 

 unrefined, at 34 cents; 100-lb. lots or more at 33 cents; 

 Calcutta East India wax, about 200 lbs. to case, at the 

 same price. 



ACME HAND POTATO-PLANTER. 



The time is here for potato-planting, and you will 

 hardly find a more convenient tool for planting than 

 I the one shown here, especially in light soil. 

 It makes the holes, and drops and covers at 

 one operation. Once over the field does the 

 work after the ground has been fitted. One 

 person can plant two acres in a day. Price 55 

 cts. each; three or more at 50 cts.; a crate of 

 one dozen for $5.2.5. We also 

 have special bags fitted with 

 straps for holding the pota- 

 toes while using the planter, 

 which we can furnish at 50 c. 

 each, or $4.50 per dozen.
