THE ROOT CORRESPON- 

 DENCE SCHOOL OF BEE 

 CULTURE. 



The demand for practical bee- 

 keepers is greater that most people 

 suppose. We are unable to supply 

 the needs so started a correspon- 

 dence school to fit any one to take 

 advantag^e of these offers. We do 

 it too at a very reasonable cost. 

 The course also is of greatest value 

 to beginners wishing to make bee- 

 keeping pay, and for those study- 

 ing bees for recreation. Prospectus 

 giving full particulars will be sent 

 on request. 



"Schools of Correspondence are 

 now teaching almost everything; 

 in fact, I have often wondered that 

 some one did not start a correspon- 

 dence school for teaching bee-keep- 

 ing, and now I see by an advertise- 

 ment in the last issue of the Youth's 

 Companion, that no less a firm 

 than our old friends, the Roots, of 

 Medina, Ohio, have done this very 

 thing. I believe that no person or 

 firm in this country is better fitted 

 then they for making a success of 

 such a venture, and I shall watch 

 the outcome with much interest." — 

 The Bee-keepers^ Review. 



"The A. I. Root Company, of Me- 

 dina, Ohio, has established a cor- 

 respondence school of bee culture. 

 As this is one of the largest and 

 best firms making bee-keepers' 

 supplies, it is safe to say that its 

 school will be first class in every 

 respect." — A'^. W. Agriculturist. 



GOODS AND DISCOUNTS. 



The discount of our bee-supplies 

 ordered in November for next sea- 

 sons use is 5 per cent. A thrifty 

 business man never fails to take 

 advantage of this size discount. 

 Why should a bee-keeper neglect 

 such a matter? Catalog prices will 

 remain same as this year. 



December, 4 per cent. 



January, 3 per cent. 



February, 2 per cent. , 



AIKIN HONEY-BAdS. 



Perhaps it is not yet too late to 

 put your crop in these bags to sell. 

 We have a good stock on hand, and 

 can supply them promptly. Prices 

 on application. 



SIMPLEX HONEY-JARS. 



This beautiful jar is meeting the 

 approval of the honey seller. It 

 costs no more than the older forms. 

 Is a package that will show off your 

 product to the best advantage, and

 grocery shelves. A neat label 

 helps. We print them. Work up 

 a home market, for they are the 

 most paying.
