GLEANINGS IN BEE CULTURE 



■**•! 



A Fifty-Cent Bee-Book, Bound in Cloth, and 

 Gleanings for one Year, for $1.25. 



WE have made special arrangements with the pubhshers of the Farm 

 Journal by which we are able to supply our customers with a 

 very neat, cloth-bound, beautifully printed, and illustrated in half- 

 tone, copy of the Biggie bee-book. It is only b'/ixi in., by >8 in. thick — 

 just right to carry in the pocket. We have carefully gone over this little 

 work, and consider it orthodox in its teachings throughout. It is just the 

 thing for the busy man who would like to get a bird's-eye view of bee- 

 keeping, and who has not the time to read the more comprehensive works. 

 The book is, in fact, bee-keeping in a nutshell, boiled down, containing 

 only the best practices known to the profession. 



IT IS A LITTLE GEM 



Beginners especially will find it very helpful; and as a companion to our 

 more comprehensive work, the ABC and X Y Z of Bee Culture, nothing 

 could be better. A reading of the little book will give one a brief and 

 comprehensive idea of the business as a whole. The larger work will 

 give the details. 



We will include the ABC and the Biggie book both at $1.75. The regular list 

 price of the two is $2.00. 



Or we will include Gleanings, ABC, and the Biggie book for $2.50.
