GLEANINGS IN BEE CULTURE. 



BETTER and BRIGHTER 



Writing in advertisement o( the Review is to me a most 



DIFFICULT TASK. 



It cODsiits, of course, in telline how good it is, and that sounds 

 like a mother boasting of her children. But it is the only course 

 open. If the Review is to be advertised, I must write the adver- 

 tising, even if it does smack of egotism. 



But I am sincere in all that 1 say. I believe it is strictly true. 

 Although I make the Review, I believe that I can 



FAIRLY JUDGE 



of its value — of any rise or fall in its helpfulness, brilliancy, or 

 freshness. I know that of late it has been 



FORGING AHEAD 



by leapt and bounds; and this is not wholly an editorial opinion, 

 as many old subscribers have written their pleased appreciation. 

 One thing that has helped to bring about this improvement is 

 that the last few years have witnessed a gradual but steady in- 

 crease of the subscription list. In years past, every suggested im- 

 provement was confronted with the question: "Can it be afford- 

 ed! " But the time is rapidly approaching when the cost of an im- 

 provement need not prevent its adoption. An increased sub- 

 scription list enables one to make a better journal, and a better 

 journal brings an increased subscription list. 



The Review has always been an excellent journal, but I feel, 

 somehow, that it is now entering upon a period of 



USEFULNESS AND PRESTIGE 



such as its editor little dreamed of when he launched his modest 

 venture. It is printed upon the best paper that it is possible to 

 buy; it is using more and better engravings; it is not possible to 

 secure better correspondence than that found upon its pages; while 



THE SAME FINGERS 



that write the editorials help, each year, in producing tons of 

 honey. As one subscriber recently wrote: " The Review fairly 

 huyns with practical ideas from practical men." 



No written description cau equal the sight of the article itself; 

 and I wish that you could see the 



LAST THREE ISSUES 



of the Review. Send me ten cents and I will send them to you, 

 together with a four-page circular, making some exceedingly low 

 clubbing offers. The ten cents may apply on a subscription, if 

 sent in later.
