GLEA^IKGS IN BEE CULTURE. 



April 



We are glad to inform our friends that our new 

 shop is now arranged and we are ready for business. 

 Our facilities are unsurpassed for doing good work 

 cheaply and quickly. 



OUR NEW MONTHLY, 



The Bee-Keeper's Exchange, 



Is already popular, and its success is established. 

 Its low price, 75 cents per year, brings it within the 

 reach of all, and we propose to make it so useful 

 and entertaining that no bee-keeper can afford to be 

 without it. Sample copy free. 



COMB FOUNDATION. 



DRONE OR WORKER CELLS. 



We wish our friends to realize that we are abso- 

 lutely headquarters for Comb Foundation. We 

 produce the most and best Comb Foundation of 

 anyone in the United States. We have testimonials 

 from many who have tried different manufacturers 

 and our Foundation is pronounced the best. We 

 now have over 9,000 pounds of wax on hand that we 

 paid a round price for, as we buy the best that can 

 be obtained, and have it selected especially for us. 



PRICES FOR 1879. 

 If we supply Foundation in odd quantities, or if cut 

 to any size wanted, prices will bej 



1 to 25 pounds, per pound 55c 



25 to 50 " " 53c 



50 to 100 " " 52c 



100 to 500 " " 50c 



500 to 1000 " " 48c 



1000 pounds or more, " 45c 



If we get orders for foundation in 5, 10, 15, 25, 50, 

 or 100 pound boxes, of 8x16% or 12x21 size, we will 

 allow ten per cent discount from above prices. The 

 above quotations are for the old style or lozenge 

 shaped cells. 



FLAT-BOTTOMED FOUNDATION 

 Is a grand success. The thin without wire is war- 

 ranted to average ten square feet to the pound, and I 

 will not leave a "Ash bone" in box honey. It is too 

 thin for the brood nest. The flat bottomed f ounda- ; 



tion, with wirejincorporated, will average six square 

 feet to the pound, and absolutely prevents all sag- 

 ging and can be given to large swarms, or can be 

 handled very roughly after it is built out. Flat bot- 

 toms are not an experiment, but have been thor- 

 oughly tested. The bees accept of this foundation 

 just as fast as they do the old style. 



We hereby inform the public, that the wired foun- 

 dation is subject to two patents, and the thin flat 

 bottomed is subject to one patent. We have full 

 privileges to make and sell this foundation and shall 

 handle it in large quantities. 



We propose to keep the wired foundation in stock 

 in'following sizes: Sheets are 10x16, lOxlS 1 ^, 8%xl6!4, 

 10&14, 11^x12, and ]2xl9. 



The New Thin, for boxes, will be kept in sheets 

 12x12. Both kinds will be sold at following prices: 



II to 25 pounds, per"pound 70c 



25 to 50 " " 68c 



50 to 100 " " 67c 



liiO to 500 " " 65c 



500 to 1000 " " 63c 



1000 pounds or more, " 60c 



HONEY BOXES. 



Probably no one in the United States has better 

 facilities than we, for making boxes rapidly and 

 neatly. 



We can turn out 100,000 boxes a month without 

 difficulty. Our specialty is the Prize and Novice or 

 4 1 ix45i dovetailed box. These we will keep in stock. 

 We plane all our boxes on the edges and on one side, 

 and guarantee the work to be first class in every 

 particular. Our aim is to "excel, not undersell." 

 Send for our samples before you purchase. 



PRICES FOR 1879. 

 Prize boxes to take 5x6 glass, either tall or low. 



Per 1,000 boxes $ 6 50 



Per 5,000 boxes 31 25 



For 10,000 boxes 58 00 



Parties must be very particular to give exact out- 

 side dimensions of their boxes, when they order. 



Dovetailed sections 4 , ix4 1 4 will be supplied at ex- 

 actly same prices as above. 



For prices of everything needed in the apiary,
