GLEANINGS BINDERS. 



In order to close out our present stock of Glean- 

 ings binders we are making the following special 

 rates : 



Style C, 50 cts. postpaid. (This is a neat binder 

 in art canvas cover of red.) 



Style D, 75 cts. postpaid. (This binder is half 

 leather, and is black.) 



These binders are arranged to hold the issues of 

 Gleanings temporarily as received from montn to 

 month. Each binder will hold about twenty numbers 

 of Gleanings (more if crowded). Each copy can 

 be inserted easily and securely as soon as received, 

 thus making a convenient volume for reference. Tlie 

 binders are neatly lettered " Gleanings in Bee 

 Culture." Tliese binders represent a bargain at 

 this price, and we trust that our readers whose num- 

 bers of Gleanings are scattered around loosely will 

 avail themselves of this opportunity to secure a good 

 binder at a reduced rate. 



gleanings in bee culture for 1914. 



On page 7 of this issue we have taken you into 

 our confidence, and have told you some of the plans 

 which the Editorial Department has made in the way 

 of seven special numbers of Gleanings in Bee 

 Culture for 1914 — that feature which has been so 

 popular during the past three seasons. These num- 

 bers will be better than ever before, and ought to be 

 an insipration to every beekeeper. 



So many of our readers prefer to subscribe for 

 more than a year at a time that we wish to mention 

 our special rates of $1.50 for Gleanings for two 

 years; $2.00 for three j'ears, and $3.00 for five 

 years. (Canadian postage 30 cts. a year additional; 

 foreign postage 60 cts. a year additional.) 



Those who are interested in combination offers 

 including other publications should turn to inside 

 cover page of this number, for our 1914 CLUB- 

 BING LIST. Special rates quoted upon request on 

 combinations not listed. Our new subscription cata- 

 log of combination offers will soon be published.

A. I. Root 



death of e. c. green. 



I am pained to record the sudden and unexpected 

 death of my old friend and neighbor E. C. Green, 

 whose letter in regard to the dasheen appeared only 

 in our last issue. An operation for gall-stones be- 

 came necessary, and he failed rapidly soon after- 

 ward, his death occurring the last day of October. 



Mr. Green, as our readers know, was a prominent 

 horticulturist, his work on the tomato, especially, 

 having been noted in these columns. Although a 

 busy man, he always had time for his church. He 

 rarely missed prayer-meeting, and he constantly 

 gave of his time and strength for the upbuilding of 

 the kingdom of God. 



THE dasheen tubers to bb sent to our sub- 

 scribers. 

 Quite a few of the friends, especially a few living 

 in climates where there is little or no winter, seem 

 to have the impression that dasheen tubers can be 

 mailed at once ; and I suppose they could ; but they 

 are now so green and heavy on account of the mois- 

 ture contained in them that it would probably take 

 double the postage if sent before they are thoroughly 

 dry. These grew from tubers we received from the 

 Government last .January. I hardly think we shall 

 be ready to mail the tubers before January 1. Per- 

 haps on my visit to Brooksville on the way to our 

 Florida home I shall be able to find out more about 

 it. Another thing, if sent before they are thoroughly 

 dried out they will be liable to be injured by fros't 

 while in transit. Of course, these premium tubers 

 will be sent by mail.
