TAKE NOTICE. 



If you are looking for the Iiees that give the best 

 profits, and most gentle in handling, try the Albi- 

 nos. I also have the Golden Italians, and can f ur- 

 nisli eitlier variety. But if you ask for my prefer- 

 ence 1 say Albino, and in my circular you" can see 

 what others say of them. Send for circular and see 

 liow cheap 1 sell them. I also manufacture and deal 

 in Hives, Sections, Foundation, Extractors, and 

 other Apiarian Sui)i)lles. 5-7d
