BEE CULTURE 



TRADE NOTES 



681 



On account of the new Government regulations 

 as to subscription prices, the combination of Green's ' 

 American Fruit Grower, American Poultry Ad- 

 vocate, ajul Gleanings in Bee Culture, heretofore 

 offered at $1.25, has to be advanced to $1.50 after 

 Oct. 1 (this date). But at the new price, it is the 

 most profitable subscription investment that a bee- 

 keeper, a poullryman, or a fruit grower can make. 



We shall probably have to withdraw or make an 

 advanced price on all of our combinations as hither- 

 to offered with a Gleanings subscription.

Special Notices by A. I. Root 



how to MAKE AND RUN A HOTBED OR COLD-FRAME. 



During these war times there is a greater incen- 

 tive than ever before to make use of hotbeds and 

 cold-frames. By the way, it seems to me here is a 

 wonderful opening for the boy and girl gardeners 

 of the present timei. My attention was called to the 

 matter just now by reviewing a booklet of 25 pages, 

 which we have for years furnished free of charge 

 in connection with the manufacture of sashes for 

 hotbeds and cold-frames. The booklet is of exceed- 

 ing value, and its teachings are sound, even tho 

 the book was originally published several years ago. 

 As we still have a large stock of them on hand, it 

 will be mailed free of charge on application ; and, 

 whether you buy your sashes of us or get them else- 

 where, the book will certainly prove a great help to 

 anybody interested in " high-pressure gardening." 

 Even down in Florida we find cold-frames in winter 

 a big help. For correct up-to-date prices on hotbed 

 sash, see our regular catalog.
