The A. I. Root Co.: — I must say I have been well 

 pleased with Root quality and sfe'rvice. The queen 

 t atce candy was just right and the service prompt, 

 r hope to be a Gleanings advertiser another year. 



Pentz, Pa., Sept. 23. J. B. Hollopeter, 



By the way, we received a full colony hive from 

 you last year in May (outfit No. 6). Since then we 

 Iiave four colonies, and two of them have given us 

 75 lbs. of comb honey each, and 50 more each com- 

 ing, very fine white-clover comb honey. 



Columbus, Ohio, July 24. A. H. Schoey. 



The A. I. Root Co.: — The colony of bees which 

 I got from you last year has given rae two swarms, 

 very strong ones, and all are making fine honey 

 crops. The new ones are also doing well. 



Pairhope, Ala., Sept. 1. E. W. .Trfferson. 



I bought your beginner's outfit this spring. The 

 bees have never swarmed, so far as I know ; but 

 they have stored a good bit of honey. All my four 

 supers are on, three being full, 28 sections each.
