Honey Quotations. 



The following rules for grading honey were 

 adopted by the North American Bee Keepers' 

 Association, at its Washington meeting, and, so 

 far as possible, quotations are made according 

 to these rules: 



Fancy.— All sections to be well filled ; combs 

 straight, of even thickness, and firmly attached 

 to all four sides ; both wood and comb unsoiled 

 by travel-stain, or otherwise ; all the cells sealed 

 except the row of cells next the wood. 



No. 1.— All sections well filled, but combs un- 

 even or crooked, detached at the bottom, or 

 with but few cells unsealed; both wood and 

 comb unsoiled by travel stain or otherwise. 



In addition to this the honey is to be classified 

 according to color, using the terms white, amber 

 and dark. That is there will be " fancy white," 

 "No. 1 dark," etc. 



BUFFALO. N. Y.- Trade is very dull; and 

 such stock as is in the market is hard to move. 

 We quote as follows : Fancy white, 14 to 15; 

 No. 1. white, 12 to 13; fancy dark 8 to 9; No, 1. 

 dark, 6 to 7 ; beeswax, 25 to 28.

MINNEAPOLIS, Minn.-Strictly fancy white 

 honey is being sold as low as 13 cents ; choice 

 white, 11; fancy dark, 10; choice dark, S'/i ;

C. C. CLEMONS CO., 

 521 Walnut St. Kansas City Mo. 



NEW YORK N. Y.-White comb honey is 

 in fair demand. Very little call for buckwheat. 

 Extracted of all kinds is very quiet. We quote 

 as follows. Fancy white, 14; No. 1 white, 12; 

 Fancy Amber, 11 ; No. 1 Amber, 10: Fancy dark, 

 9 ; No. 1 dark. 8 ; White extracted, 5% to 6 ; Am-

 Apr. 13. 120 & 122 West Broadway New York. 



CHICAGO, III.— Th"^ season for sale of comb 

 honey is now at an end. and only a cas'=» or so 

 will be taken for colds, and by enthusiasts on 

 honey as a food ( of whom there are too few. ) 

 We quote as follows; Fancy white, 15; No. 1 

 white, 12 to 13 ; Fancy amber 10 to 11 ; No. 1 am- 

 ber, 8 ; Fancy dark, 8 ; No. 1 dark. 7 ; White, ex-

n II Tr -^ little less than a year ago 1 bough t 

 H III r a nice flute, and was making quite 

 I LU I L good headway in learning to play 

 when I was t:^ken sick. Then came 

 Ivy's illness, and it has been months 

 since I have touched the instrument As 

 I look ahead it seems as though the days, 

 for many more months to come, would 

 A II r be so full of work that I shall not 

 NAI 1 have the time for practicing that is 

 UHLLi necessary in order to become a ^ood 

 player. Reluctantly I have decided 

 to sell the flute. It is an eight-keyed instrument 

 of Grenadilla wood, with tuning slide, cork 

 joints, German Silver c ips and trimmings, and 

 embouchure, and cost $15.00. It is put up in a 

 cloth covered box. embossed in gilt, that cost 

 90 cts. I also have an instrnction book, " Ber- 

 biguier's Method for the Flute, " that cost $3. 

 00. The book is a little the worse for wear, but it 

 is " all there. " Yes, and there is a cleaner thnt 

 cost 25 cts. The entire outfit cost me a trifle 

 over $19.00, but I will sell it for $10 00 cash, or I 

 would accept $12 00 worth of nice, white ex- 

 tracted honey in exchange for it.

Books Closed 



To July 15th. My strain of bees gave such universal satisfac- 

 tion last year that I have already enough orders booked for 

 full colonies, nuclei and queens to keep me busy until the 

 middle of July; hence, those sending in orders now should 

 remember that their orders cannot bo filled until after that 

 date, but will be booked aud filled in turn. Wm. A. SELSEB, 10 Vine St., Philadelphia, Pa.
