CENTS 



We wish every reader of the Bee-Keepers' Review to become acquainted 

 with Gl^anin^s in Bee Culture. "We extend a cordial invitation in our offer 

 to send you the paper ten weeks for ten cents. 



There is no bee paper in the world like Gleaning-s. Its aim is to meet the 

 needs of every bee-keeper everywhere and it needs it Whether j'ou own one 

 colony or a thousand or are merely interested 3'on cannot afford to miss a single 

 number. Gleaning-s is progressive. Every number is an improvement over the 



last. 



CONTRIBUTORS. It is useless to state that G/eanfnj^s excels in this 

 point. A regular department is edited by Dr. C. C. Miller, G. M. Doolittle, 

 Prof. A. J. Cook, J. A. Green and Louis Scholl. These names speak for them- 

 selves for they are the best writers of the day. Every issue contains articles 

 from the pens of the best bee-keepers all over the land. A list of them would be 

 the catalog- of the most successful bee-keepers the world over. We will soon be- 

 g-in a series of remarkable articles by E W. Alexander. We are safe in saying- 

 a higher price was never paid for an article of this class as we paid for a single 

 one of this series. Every one of them will be worth hundreds of dollars to 

 bee-keepers 



HAI^F-TONE ILLUSTRATIONS. During- the past summer we have 

 had a special artist to take photographs for us. He has traveled on our account 

 alone the past summer over 400 miles and we can promise some very fine 

 pictures. Many of the Second Prize Photo Contest, American and Foreign will 

 appear soon. Our engravings are made by the very finest eng-ravers in the 

 United States. Just this wealth of illustration doubles the value of the paper.
