 Culture. 



Our hives and equipment, both of workmanship and clearness of 

 stock, cannot be excelled and we doubt if they Iiave ever been equalled. 

 The Rroot brand in always popular with the customer and alwaj^s 

 the best that money can produce. 



Our sections and frames for 1906 are even better than ever. 

 They are inspected and re-inspected again and each inspector is re- 

 quired to put in each box of sections that he passes upon his own in- 

 spector's card so that if complaint is made this card will come back 

 on him. As he is anxious to hold his position and if possible get an 

 increase in pay, it is clearly to his interest as v;eU as that of the 

 custoxher to let nothing but perfect goods pass. 



In the matter of improvement it is generallj' conceded that we 

 are the leaders. We are constantly testing out ever}' new device in 

 our own yards and when it has stood the test we place it before the 

 public. 



Our extractors for 1906 in point of improvements a.nd qualitj' of 

 workmanship leaves ever3'thing else in the shade. The four, six 

 and eight frame machines have the finest automatic reversing mech- 

 anism that has ever been put into a machine. Even the two frame 

 models can have the reversing mechanism put on at a slight addi- 

 tional cost; but we do not ordinarily advise buying the two frame 

 automatic. Steel construction has been substituted for cast iron 

 whenever practicable. 



We are running at Medina and vicinity five queen rearing yards, 

 at other points three more. We are prepared to furnish our cele- 

 brated Red Clover stock, a stock that won a splendid reputation for 

 gathering honey from any source. We are also prepared to furnish 

 bees in nuclei and full colonies. 



A great improvement. Entirely' rewritten and revised. New 

 arts. New cover. Everything is classified and indexed. No more 

 price-tables to confuse. All prices are right under the article illus- 

 trated or desribed. Beginning Dec. 15 our presses will be busy day 

 and nigbt for three solid weeks printing the first edition. If

Our December 15th issue makes a new era in Bee-Keeping liter- 

 ature. It is a genuine first-class magazine. During 1906 this high 

 standard will be kept up. Gleanings gives its readers and adver- 

 tisers full measure, pressed down and running over. It's only

 magnificent Christmas issue.
