They not only pay their cost almost every winter, 

 but they pay just as well for summer use. See what 

 a friend writes on a postal. 



Mr. Boot:— What is your pi-ice for chaff hives, al- 

 ready filled with boxes, such as Wm. T. Seal, of 

 Chadd's Ford, got of you. Send me price list of 

 hives, and price of 50 chaff hives. Bees hare done 

 well only in this kind of hive this summer, on account 

 of cold. It was too cold, in other hives, to stay 

 nights in boxes. I want the frames to hold the one 

 lb. boxes. J. & J. T. Williamson. 



Dilworthtown, Chester Co., Penn., Aug-. 24, '79. 



For 50 chaff hives or more, ordered during this 

 present month, every thing in the flat, including 

 nails and tin roof, 1 will make the price $1.30 each. 

 This is for the hive for winter. 



For prices of the inside work (which you will not 

 need until another season), also for prices of hives 

 set up and painted, and for hives in lots less than 50, 

 see price list. 



A. I. ROOT, Medina, Ohio. 



You can not look over the back No's of Glean- 

 ings or any other Periodical with satisfaction, unless 

 they are in some kind of a Binder. Who has not 

 said— "Dear me, what a bother— I must have last 

 month's Journal and it is no where to be found." 

 Put each No. in the Emerson Binder as soon as it 

 comes, and you can sit down happy, any time you 

 wish to find anything: you may have previously seen 

 even though it were months ago. 



Binders for Gleanings (will hold them for one 

 year), gilt lettered, free by mail for 50, 60, and 75c, 

 according to quality. For table of prices of Binders 

 for any Periodical, see Oct. No., Vol. II. Send in 

 your orders. A. I. ROOT, Medina, Ohio. 



Names of responsible parties will be inserted in 

 either of the following- departments, at a uniform 

 price of 20 cents each insertion, or $2,00 per year.

$1.00 Queens. 



Names inserted in this department the first time with- 

 out charge. After, 20c each insertion, or $2,00 per year. 



Those whose names appear below agree to furnish 

 Italian queens for $1,00 each, under the following- 

 conditions: No guarantee is to be assumed of purity, 

 or anything- of the kind, only that the queen be reared 

 from a choice, pure mother, and had commenced to 

 lay when they were shipped. They also agree to re- 

 turn the money at any time when customers become 

 impatient of such delay as may be unavoidable. 



Bear in mind that he who sends the best queens, 

 put up most neatly and most securely, will probably 

 receive the most orders. Special rates for warranted 

 and tested queens, furnished on application to any 

 of the parties. Names with *, use an imported queen 

 mother. If the queen arrives dead, notify us and 

 we will send you another. Probably none will be 

 sent before July 1st. If wanted sooner, see rates in 

 price list.
