THREE BEST MILLETS. 
MILLET, Japanese Barnyard Grass (Panicum Crus 
Galli). Distinct from other varieties, enormous 
cropper, grows six to eight feet high, excellent 
either green or cured as hay. It prefers a moder¬ 
ately moist soil and may be sown in an average 
season from the middle of May until the first of 
July. Broadcast, at the rate of 25 lbs. per acre, or 
in drills eighteen inches apart, is lbs. to the acre. 
Price, per lb., 12 cts.; 25 lbs. for $2.50. 
—Breck’s Japanese ( Panicum Miliaceum var.Japon- 
ica ). In growth and appearance somewhat like 
the best Southern grown Golden Millet, but of 
superior quality and immensely more productive. 
Everything considered, we believe it is the best 
Millet yet introduced. Pk. 50 cts.; bush., $1.50. 
—True Southern Grown Golden. This millet with¬ 
stands drought better than all other varieties, 
(except our own Japanese millet) and under ordinary condi¬ 
tions always produces large crops of very fine quality. The seed 
we offer is genuine Tennessee grown , is perfectly matured and 
will produce twice as large a crop, of much better quality than the 
Golden or German millet of the Western States. Per bush., $1.50.

seeds. 
Bees and Bee=Keepers’ Supplies. 
Having many calls from Market Gardeners, owners 
of Greenhouses, and Bee-keepers, for articles in the 
Bee Supply line, we have made arrangements with a 
reliable apiarist to furnish full Swarms of Italian Bees, 
on Movable frames, in Brood chamber, all ready to be 
hived. By this method they can be examined at any 
time. Price upon application. We also have in stock 
Bee Hives, Section Boxes, Smokers, Brood and Section 
Foundation, Bee Veils, Rubber Gloves, and many other 
articles necessary to the successful Bee-keeper. 
THE DOVETAILED (OR LOCK-CORNER) HIVE. 
The particular feature of the hive, and hence its suggestive name, is the dove¬ 
tailed—or, more properly speaking, the lock corner. Unlike the old-fashioned 
lap, miter, or halving plan, it will not gap or pull loose, but will successfully 
resist all climates, and even a California sun. This Hive has been very popular 
since it was introduced, and is fitted with Danzentaker bottom board and cover. 
As we ship, it is fitted complete with starters in Brood Chamber and Section 
Boxes. We have in stock but one size, the 
eight frame. All Hives set up ready for use. 
Net price each, $3.00. 
SECTION HONEY-BOXES. 
Section Boxes, each, ict.; per 100, 75 cts.; per 250, $1.25 ; per 500, 
$2 .00. Our No. 1 sections are made of the choicest white basswood 
lumber, and are all perfect in finish, and free from defects. They are 
not all snow white, but vary from that to a light cream color. Choice 
honey shows off to best advantage in a 
section not too white, as it is the honey 
rather than the wood that the consumer 
looks at. 
BINGHAM SMOKER. 
This is strong, well made, does not 
clog up, and burns any fuel. It has 
recently been improved by the addition 
of a curved snout to prevent fire drop¬ 
ping, and a safety attachment to prevent 
burning the fingers in removing the 
cone for replenishing. They have wide 
shields; have wire handle to cone, and 
inverted bellows. We carry but one of 
the many kinds and sizes manufactured, 
as our experience has shown it to be the 
most desirable. Large, 2% in., each 70 
cts., by mail, 90 cts.
