 •catalogue, new discount is, for less than ."> rolls. 60 

 per cent: '> to 10 rolls, 62 ,'2 per cent; and 10 to 20 rolls, 

 6.5 ppr cent. No change in price of web fencing at 

 present. 



The reasons for this advance are, briefly, as fol- 

 lows: Wirp rods, from which the netting is made, 

 were, till about 6 months ago. nearly all imported 

 from Europe. Since then the price of wire rods has 

 advanced so much that American rods are largely 

 used, but at an increased cost to makers of netting, 

 of about 40 per cent. Notwithstanding this in- 

 creased cost of materials of 40 per cent, we advance 

 the price of netting only from 15 to 20 per cent. We 

 regret (for the sake of those who buy netting) to be 

 obliged to advance prices; but there is this cheer- 

 ing feature about it, that, instead of importing wire 

 rods, we are using those produced by American 

 workmen, and thus indirectly furnishing employ- 

 ment to many hundreds of our fellow-citizens. 



Those who have a netting catalogue may have a 

 new discount sheet on application. If we knew 

 who you were we would mail you one any waj-.

Black and Hybrid Queens For Sale. 



For the benefit of friends who have black or hybrid queens 

 which they want to dispose of, we will insert notices free of 

 charge, as below. We do this because there is hardly value 

 enough to these queens to pay for buying them up and keep- 

 ing them in stock ; and yet it is oftentimes quite an accommo- 

 dation to those who can not afford higher-priced ones. 



Black queens, 3 for one dollar; also a few hybrids.

THE DUAL HIVE. 



The Original Dovetailed Hive 



Is made of SELECTED LiHtlBER, light and 

 strong. The frames fit either body if used as two 

 separate hives for increase. 



As shown above it holds 30 brood-frames for ex- 

 tracting, or 13 brood-frames and 28 1-lb. sections, or 

 as I use it for comb honey, 9 brood-frames and 42 

 1-lb. sections. 



Top bars of frames are "s in. square, do not sag. 

 Sections are spaced so as to exclude the queen, and 

 prevent the building of burr combs or propolizing 

 AVITHOIT using honey-boards of any kind. 



FOR SHIPPING, 9 frames. 3 cases, 21 sections, 

 all put up with starters, 3 cases, 21 sections in the 

 flat. Vestibule swarmer will pack in the brood- 

 hive, which is put snug in the outer hive, and billed 

 as nested hives, with trable roofs, or box stuff with 

 flat roofs, SAVING HAl^F the freight. 



FOR WINTERING, the brood hive is wrapped 

 and covered air tight with paper, and the outer 

 hive passed down over all, forming several dry-air 

 spaces between double walls; will winter bees as 

 well or better than a chaff hive. One complete hive, 

 painted, weighs 25 lbs., and can be sent alone as 

 CHEAP by EXPRESS as by freight. 



FIVE hives in the flat weigh 100 lbs., and cost 

 NO MORE than one by freight. 



No hives will be sent in the flat except to those 

 who first buy one hive made up. 



One hive, made up and painted, ready for bees, as 

 1 use it, with 42 sections and starters for the same, 

 and one book $ 3 .50 



Two hives, furnished the same, and one book 6 GO 



Not painted, 25 cts. less. Gable roofs, as shown in 

 cut above, 25c more for each hive nailed.
