QUINBY'S 



New Bee - Keepir\g, 



By !_■. O. HOOT. 



The latest, most practical, and most fully illus- 

 trated work published. The press generally, and 

 best bee-keepers everywhere, are recognizing the 

 practical value of this work, for all classes of bee- 

 keepers. Price by mail, 51.50. 



BELLOWS SEE SMOKERS. 



The Quinby Smoker has been upon the market 

 four years longer than any other practical smoker 

 made. In IsT'.i, it was much improved, and, on Mar. 

 llth, a patent was granted it over all other smokers, 

 which fully protects all who buy, sell, or use it. It 

 is pronounced the very best Bellows Smoker made, 

 by Doolittle, Hctherington, Elwood, Dadant, Alley, 

 Nellis, Hoffman, and unprejudiced bee-keepers 

 everywhere. 



In excellence of material and workmanship, we 

 challenge competition. We make the only calf-skin 

 bellows in the market. Price 75c, $1.25, and $1.50. 

 By mail, to all points, including Canada, 25c. extra. 



Our New Circular will be of particular value to all 

 who purchased smokers prior to 1878. For testimo- 

 nials of book, specimens of illustrations, including 

 the Smoker, and price list of general bee-keeping 

 supplies, address
