be delivered to the consumer bj* himself, is 

 laboring under a mistaken idea.'" I think 

 Mr. Mi'N'eal, and Mr. York, and Mr. Anybody 

 Else are wrong on that score. Did any of you 

 ever know of a grocer who objected to the 

 name and address of the manufacturer or pro- 

 ducer of canned goods being on rrmj can. Is 

 not every barrel and can of syrup marked in 

 this way; Is not all toilet soap marked with 

 the name and address of the producer? Does 

 not Mr. York advertise Root's goods? Why 

 does he not advertise York's goods! Are they 

 not as much his as the honey he buys? I sell 

 all my honey direct to the consumer myself, 

 with name and address on ri'ery package, and 

 guarantee it to be O. K. in every respect. 



1 have 26 colonies of bees and run for both 

 comb and e.xtracted honey, and could sell a 

 great deal more than I can produce. I got 10 

 cents per pound straight for it. Now, Mr. 

 York, don't ask why I don't buy some of 

 " York's Honey " and sell it. I expect it 

 would have your name and address on it. But 

 that is not the reason I don't buy. First, you 

 don't have the same flavor and color of honey 

 I produce. You know we Southern folks have 

 foolish ideas. I can't sell light colored honey 

 at any price, and I can't buy and pay freight 

 charges, then sell for less than 15 cents per 

 pound, which is out of the question here, 

 I hope Messrs. York and McXeal will not

HUTTO, Tkx., Nov. 19, 1902. 



J. 1'. MoiiKi . Dear Sir:— I wish to write you 

 id regard to queens purchased of you. I could 

 have written sooner, but I wanted to test them 

 thoroughly .Tud see if they had those remarka- 

 ble qualities of a three-banded Italian bee. I 

 must confess lo vou I am more surprised every 

 day as I watch 'them. They simply " roll the 

 honey in." It .seems that they g-et honey where 

 others are idle or trying to rob; and for gentle- 

 ness of handling, I have never seen the like. 

 Friend E. R. Root was right when he said your 

 bees have the longest tongues; for they get 

 honev where others fail. I will express my 

 thanits for such queens. I am mon- than 

 pleased. I will stock my out-apiaries next 

 spring with vour queens. 



Y6urs truly, Henkv Schmidt. 



The above is pretty strong evidence that red 

 clover is not the only plant which requires 

 long-tongue bees to secure the greatest quantity 

 of nectar.

take any exceptions to what I have said. It 

 is only my opinion on the subject. 



My 2(1 colonies of bees are all in 8-frame 

 dovetail hives, painted white. It was so cold 

 in the spring we didn't get any honey, but we 

 hope to get some from fall llowers. 



Henry Co., Tenn., July 20. J. R. Aden. 



[It is all right to put your name on the 

 packages of honey when you are retailing it 

 yourself direct to the consumers. But when 

 you sell it in bulk to a commission man or 

 dealer, it is better to omit the producer's 

 name. 



We have no quarrel with any one who in- 

 sists on putting his name on his honey when 

 he sells it. Only he can't sell it to us. It any 

 body else wants to buy it, that's all right. We 

 have worked up a demand in Chicago 'for 

 " York's Honey," and not for Aden's honey. 

 We have spent a great deal of money in ad- 

 vertising " York's Honey " here, and have 

 pushed it in many expensive ways that we 

 have never written about. After doing all 

 that, we are not quite such a whopping fool 

 as to allow spme one else's name to appear on 

 any honey that we put on the retail market 

 here among grocers. 



We are not talking about extracted honey 

 sold in bulk, such as 60-pound cans of it. 

 We are speaking of section comb honey, and 

 of extracted honey that we bottle and then

QUEEN-BEE FREE 



To Our Regular Paid-in-Advance Subscribers. 



We have arranged with several of the best queen-breeders to supply us during 1903 with The Very Best Untested 

 Italian Queens that they can possibly rear— well worth $1.00 each. We want every one of our present regular subscribers 

 to have at least one of these Queens. And we propose to make it easy for you to get one or more of them. 



A QUEEN FREE FOR SENDING ONE NEW SUBSCRIBER. 



In the first place, you must be a regular subscriber to the American Bee Journal, and your own subscription must 

 be paid at least 3 months in advance. If it is not already paid up, you can send in the necessary amount to make it so 

 when you order one of these fine Queens. 



Send us $1.00 and the name (not your own) and address of One NEW subscriber for the American Bee Journal, and 

 we will mail you one of the Queens free as a premium. 



Now, go out among your bee-keeping neighbors and friends and invite them to subscribe for the old American Bee 

 Journal. If you want some to show as samples, we will mail you, for the asking, as many copies of the American 

 Bee Journal as you can use. 



Should there be no other bee-keepers near you, and you desire one of these fine Queens any way, send us $1.50 and 

 we will credit your subscription for one year and also mail you a Queen. Of course, it is understood that the amount sent 

 will pay your subscription at least one year in advance of the present time. So, if your subscription is in arrears, be sure 

 to send enough more than the $1.50 to pay all that is past due also. 



We prefer to use all of these Queens as premiums for getting new subscribers. But if any one wishes to purchase 

 them aside from the Bee Journal subscription, the prices are as follows : 

 One Queen, 7Sc.; 3 Queens, S2.10; 6 Queens for $4.00. 

 We are filling orders almost by return mail. 



Now for the new subscribers that you will send us— and then the 

 Queens that we will send you 1 Address.
