The letter reproduced below from a well-known poultry-man is representative of hundreds of unsolicited letters re- 

 ceived annually, commending- the Root Goods. Whether you are a dealer in Supplies or a bee-keeper, you will be inter- 

 ested in what Mr. Rigg says, especially if you have never used our Supplies. 



In this letter we call your particular attention to 3 points : 



1st.— Mr. Rigg could get along without GLEANINGS, but could not afford to do so. Neither can any one keeping 

 bees, even if only a single colony. 



2d. — In purchasing bees, as with other stock, it pays to get select stock. See what results Mr. Rigg obtained from 

 our red-clover strain of bees. 



3d. — We respectfully urge you to notice that Mr. Rigg used our Danzenbaker comb-honey hive. If you want to pro- 

 duce fancy honey, this is the hive to use.

 Gentlemen: 



Find enclosed draft for $1,50 for which please give me credit 

 on subscription account to Gleanings. 



I could get along without Gleanings, "but oannot afford to do so. 

 Let me tell you of the result seoured from the three-frame nucleus 

 purchased of you. This was received here May 23rd. This was given 

 good care and has made me 64 pounds of surplus honey and will yet have 

 to its credit nearly 52 pounds more. Is not that good for a "greenhorn"? 

 But it was all on account of the worth of that queen. An experienced 

 bee man tells me that this was an exceptionally good queen. When he 

 saw the immense swarm busy at work, and was told that only a short time 

 before it was only a snail nucleus, he remarked, "Got them of Hoot, did 

 you not?" 



I give full credit to Root and the queen. I cared for them in a 

 Danz hive according to Root's advice, and got the usual Root results. 



Youtb respectfully, ^-^
