QUINSY'S NEW BEE-KEEPING! 



The number and character of the commendations 

 of this book, that we are continually receiving, 

 prove very conclusively that it is a plain, practical 

 work, invaluable to the beginner, as well as to the 

 more advanced bee-keeper. 



Price, post paid, $1.50. 



If you desire practical information such as has en- 

 abled us to secure over 15,000 lbs. of honey from 176 

 colonies, the present, poor season, send for our fall 

 circular.

GYPRM& ITALIAN OOEEIS! 



Bee-keepers who wish to test the working quali- 

 ties and disposition of the Cyprian bees should intro- 

 duce them this fall. I consider the month of Sep- 

 tember one of the best months of the season to 

 re-queen hives. 



Have had the Cyprian bees all the season, and find 

 them as handsome and gentle as the purest Italians. 

 The queens are very prolific and superior in all res- 

 pects to the Italians. 



Cyprian queens $1.50 each, or $15.00 per doz. 



Italian " 1.00 " " " 10.00 " 



Orders tilled by return mail. All queens warrant- 

 ed, and safe arrival guaranteed by mail. Those who 

 desire it can remit on receipt of queens. 



I wish to give notice again, that if any one has or- 

 dered queens, and their orders are not filled, they 

 will please notify me at once. 

 9d Address H. ALLEY, Wenham, Mass. 



QUEENS FOR BUSINESS! 



As I am up with orders again, I will sell those 

 choice Italian queens until further notice, at 75c 

 each (Tested, $1.50), bred from double extra, im- 

 ported mother, picked for me from Knot's best 

 grade. Drones are from the queen mentioned on 

 page 225. Every queen warranted good and prolific. 

 Safe arrival guaranteed by mail.

SIMPSON HONEY PLANTS; 



ROOTS AND SEED. 



To those wishing roots, I will pack and send them 

 by express or freight, early in the spring, at $2.00 

 per hundred, late or early varieties. 



I will send seed by mail, post paid, at 5c per pack- 

 et, or 1-5 oz. for 10c, l A oz. 20c, 1 oz. 40c, one pound or 

 more at $4.00 per lb. 



For sowing the seed, get leaf mold from the 

 woods, bake it to kill seeds in it, and when your 

 plants come up there will be no weeds with them.
