GLEANINGS IN BEE CULTURE 



Oct. 15 



pALCON QUEENS 



WE HAVE in charge of our Queen Department Mr. Leslie Martin, who 

 has had wide experience in the queen business, having been the queen- 

 breeder in the apiary of the U. S. Department of Agriculture, Washing- 

 ton, D. C, for several seasons, as well as privately conducting the Birdcroft 

 Apiaries in Tennessee since that time. His queens have become famous, and 

 it is with pleasure we offer his services to our customers in the management 

 of this department. 



Our "Falcon" Queens are unexcelled in honey-gathering qualities; they 

 winter well, and are gentle. They cap their sections snow-white, and breed 

 early in spring. 



Our Mr. Martin is particularly an authority on Caucasians, as he bred much 

 of the stock sent out by the U. S. Department of Agriculture which other 

 breeders are using. 



Get our Improved "Falcon" Queens, and increase your honey yields.

Falcon Square Jars 



Honey can not be put up in more attractive pack- 

 ages for exhibition purposes or the grocery trade than in 

 glass, and for this purpose the square honey-jar is best 

 and most convenient, besides economizing space. Prices:

•*. with spring top {|^:S?l?So1'^ 



The glass top with spring attachment is the only 

 absolutely safe method of bottling honey, as corks and 

 screw-caps will leak. Still, we furnish the 1-lb. and the 

 8-oz. jars with corks, for those who desire them, at 75 cts. 

 per 100 less and 40 cts. per 50 less than with the spring 

 top. We do not sell less than crate lots.
