Our Catalogue for 1895 



is now being printed. Although it 

 will be thoroughly revised, the prices 

 will not be much changed from those 

 of 1894. 



Owing to the advance in the value 

 of crude beeswax, the price of Comb 

 Foudation has advanced 5c a pound. 

 This advance has been made by all 

 large manufacturers. 



Dovetailed hives will be furnished 

 when so desired and requested 

 with the Higginsville Cover, which 

 is a combination of the Flat and 

 Gable Covers, allowing the tiering up 

 advantages of the Flat Cover and the 

 water shedding feature of the Gable 

 cover. Hives with this cover are 

 same prices as with Flat Covers. 

 Dovetailed Hives will also be supplied 



with Foundation Starters and nails, 

 which will necessarily increase the 

 cost about 20 cents a hive over last 

 year. 



Only 35 cents for this 36 page ^ 

 magazine until 1896. ^
