T. F. BINGHAM, Abronia, Mich. 



Mr. T. F. Bingham.— Dear Sir:~l received the smoker in good order. The wire handle and bent tube 

 are a great improvement. The wire handle is a great convenience in removing the cone, entirely prevents 

 burning of the fingers; and the bent tube enables the bee-keeper to use the smoke just where he needs 

 it, without danger of soot, ashes, or fire. It entirely does away with spoiled sections or the dropping of 

 Are. 1 thought the old Bingham was good, and can not see what the- new one leaves to be desired. 



Morris Cross Roads, Pa., May 15, 1893. Yours truly, R. W. Higinbotham.

 you can not be without this little book. Even if 

 you don't grow strawberries you will be the better 

 for reading it. Pages one-half size of this. Fully 

 illustrated; 144 pages. Price 36c; by mail, 40c.
