 have not received a copy and are ready to place an order 

 for any supplies write for a copy. Our mailing list has 

 over 400.000 names, > time is required to get the entire edi- 

 tion mailed. We e. .1 this so any one may understand 

 why a catalog may ni.. reach him early. 



The A B C of Bee Culture 



Wlien we announced tlie completion of the new edition 

 late in 1907 there was a good deal of satisfaction to notice 

 the big bunch of orders on hand, although we did regret the 

 unavoidable delay in getting the books to some customers 

 who had waited patiently for months. Over two thousand 

 copies of this edition have already been sent out. We be- 

 lieve all urgent orders have .been filled. We felt that the 

 change of price to $1.50 postpaid might cause a little 

 slackening in the demand. Not so, however, for in all our 

 experience the orders never came faster. 



We have also of the English edition a half leather at 

 $2.00 and full leather at $2.50, postpaid. 



German Edition, ABC der Bienenzucht in paper cov- 

 ers, $2.00. Cloth-bound at $2.50, postpaid, to any country. 



French Edition, A B C de L'Apiculture, cloth-bound, 

 at $2.00, postpaid, to any country. 



Gleanings in Bee Culture 



If you haven't seen a late copy of Gleanings you can't 

 lell from any brief description how really magnificent it is. 

 There are many valuable departments, and our subscribers 

 just at this season of the year are telling how much they 

 appreciate the paper. 



Hach issue is very fully illustrated. The covers are 

 done by the finest engravers in Chicago, and our writers 

 are the best in the land. Besides dozens of writers of 

 prominence whose names we can't even mention for lack of 

 space, we have such men as Dr. E. F. Phillips, U. S. Dept. 

 of Agriculture; Dr. Edward F. Bigelow, Associate Editor 

 St. Nicholas; F. Dundas Todd, former Editor Photo-Bea- 

 con ; Allen Latham, Connecticut, etc. 



A trial of six months (12 numbers) costs 25c. If in 

 addition to your own subscription you secure others for six 

 months keep loc on each one for your trouble. A liberal 

 cash commission to those who do canvassing for us.

REASONS FOR THE PRICE 



OF MY 



RASPBERRY HONEY 



I ask 10 cents a pound for my raspberry 

 honey. This is slichtly above the market 

 price, but there are reasons. 



In the first place, very little raspberry 

 honey is produced. It is a novelty— some- 

 thing out of the ordinary— like orange-blos- 

 som honey, for instance. 



In addition, it is of very .superior quality: 

 so much so that it was awarded the gold 

 medal, in competition with other honeys, at 

 the Jamestown Exposition. It has a flavor 

 of the wild, red raspberry of the woods. 



Another most important reason why I 

 should get a good price for my honey, is the 

 manner in which it is produced. It is left 

 on the hives for weeks after it is sealed over, 

 and thus acquires that finish, that smooth, 

 oily richness, that thick, rich deliciousness 

 that can be obtained in no other way. 



It costs more to produce such honey, there 



is not so much of it, and it is worth more 

 than the ordinary honey: just as the big 

 Northern Spy apples, streaked with crim- 

 son and tilled witii juicy spiciness, are worth 

 more than ordinary fruit. 



As a finishing touch, the honey is put up 

 in bright, new, (iO-pound cans, securely 

 boxed, and the boxes bound with iron so 

 that they will bear shipment: in fact. I will 

 guarantee safe arrival in perfect condition. 



For a single 60-pound can the price is S6.25; 

 for two cans in a case (120 pounds) the price 

 is $12.00 a case, regardless of the number of 

 cases that are taken. 



If you are not acquainted with this honey, 

 send me ID cents and I'll mail you a generous 

 sample, and the lOc may apply on the tirst 

 order that you send.
