These are not listed in our catalog this season, and 

 not in stock with any of our dealers. If you wish to 

 test them you will have to make special orders to se- 

 cure them. You can get them through your dealer if 

 you order in ample time and are not in a hurry to re- 

 ceive them. This section will require a new size of 

 carton and a new size of shipping-case to put them up 

 for market. We offer the new size for experiment 

 this season to see if it has sufficient warrant for in- 

 troduction into the catalog another year. By cutting 

 beeways in the top and bottom they could be stored 

 without fences or separators, and four could be placed 

 in a shallow Hoffman frame for storing, though they 

 would not be as well protected as in a section-frame. 

 The latest style of shallow frame with g-inch ends 

 would be rather scant in length inside to take four 

 sections, but those made earlier would have room.
