A description of the book here is quite unnec- 

 essary—it is simply the most complete scientific 

 and practical bee-booU publisht to-day. Fully 

 illustrated, and all written in the most fascinat- 

 ing style. The author is also too well-known to 

 the whole bee-world to retiuireany introiluclii^n. 

 No bee-keeper is fully ecjuipt, or his library 

 complete, without Thk IJkk-Kkkpkks' Guidk. 



This 16th and latest edition of Prof. Cook's 

 maguificeni book ()f 460 pages, in neat and sub- 

 stantial cloth binding, we propose to give away 

 to our present subscribers, for the work of get-

The following offer is made to present sub-

Send us two new subscribers to the Bee 

 Journal (with $2.t)0), and we will mail you a copy 

 of Prof. Cook's book FREE as a premium. 

 Prof. Cook's book alone sent for $1.25, or we club

ALFALFA 

 HONEY....... 



This is the famous White 

 Extracted Honey gathered in 

 the great Alfalfa regions of 

 the Central West. It is a 

 splendid honey, and nearly 

 everybody who cares to eat 

 honey at all can't get enough 

 of the Alfalfa extracted. 



BASSWOOD 



ri vJ iNtY «»####» 



This is the well known 

 light-colored honey gathered 

 from the rich, nectar-laden 

 basswood blossoms in Wis- 

 consin. It has a stronger 

 llavor than Alfalfa, and is 

 preferred by those who like a 

 distinct llavor in their honey. 







Prices of Either Alfalfa or Basswood Money : 



A sample of either, by mail, 8 cents ; samples of both, IS cents — 

 to pay for packafje and postafje. By freif^-ht — one 60-pound can, 9'A 

 cents per pound ; two cans, 9 cents per pound ; four or more cans, 

 S'/z cents per pound. Cash must accompany each order. If ordering- 

 two or more cans you can have half of each kind of honey, if you so 

 desire. This is all 



SBSQMTELJ PURE BEES' HmEI, 



The finest of their kinds produced id this country. 



Read Dr. Miller's Testimony on Alfalfa Honey : 



I've jusl sampled the honey you sent, and it's jiriiue. Thank you. I feel lliat 

 I'm sonielliinf^ of a heretic, lo sell several thousand pounds of honey of my own pro- 

 duction and then buy liouey of you for niy own use. But however loyal one ontrhl lo 

 be lo ihe h<iney of his own refjfion, there s no denyiuf^ the fact tli.al for use in any 

 kind of hot drink, where one prefers the more wholesome honey to su^ar, the very 

 excellent c|nality ot alfalfa honey 1 have received from you is better suited than the 

 honeys of more markl llavor, accordinti- to my taste. C. C. Millek 



Mcllenry Co., 111. 



Order the Above Honey and then Sell It. 



We would .su^-ffcst that those bee-keepers who did not produce 

 enouffh lioney for their home demand this year, just order some of 

 the above, and sell it. And others, who want to earn some money, 

 can get this honey and work up a demand for it almost anywhere.
