All who intend to be systematic m 

 their work in the apiary, should i^et a copy of 

 the Apiary Reg-ister and commence to use it. 

 The prices are as follows : 



For .50 colonies (120 papres) $100 



*' 100 colonies (220 pa«-cs) 125 



" 200 colonies (420 pa^es) 150 



The larger ones can he used for a few col- 

 onies, give room for an increase of numbers, 

 and still keep the record all together in one 

 book, and are therefore the most desirable.
