SAN FRANCISCO. — Quotations from 

 Stearns and Smith, 42.3 Front st. 



We wrote for your January number, that 

 the season was very forward and the bees 

 were working on new feed. As we have 

 had but two slight rains for fifty days, and 

 none in thirty, once a very heavy frost, the 

 prospect is not now as favorable for an 

 early and abundant crop of honey. Prices 

 unchanged from our last quotations. 



iW Sti\ained Southern Coast, at 7@10c; 

 Comb, 12(«:'20c; the latter figure for San Dei- 

 go, in Harbison frames.

Back Volumes. 



Complete sets of back volumes are scarce. 

 But few^ can be procured at any price. We 

 have a set, consisting of the mne volumes 

 (complete), which we offer for sale, either 

 bound or unbound, for a reasonable sum. 

 Many of the numbers we have paid fifty cents 

 each for. to complete them. 



We have several single volumes (complete) 

 which we will send postpaid for 82.(i() each. 



Several vohuues, which lack only a single 

 number ot being complete, we will send post- 

 paid for $1..50 each. 



Vol. l,we can supply in cloth boards, post- 

 paid, for .'^1.25. Bound in paper covers, .^1.00 

 postage 10 cents. This volume is worth five 

 times its ]irice to any intelligent bee-ket>per. 

 It contains a full elueldatinn of seieutilic bee- 

 keeping, including!; the l)est statt'ment extant 

 of the celebrated Dzierzon theory. These 

 articles run through eight iniud)ers. and are 

 from the pen of the Baron of Berlensch. 



m^" Beginners in bee-culture, who desire 

 to read up in the literature of bee-keeping, 

 are earnestly advised to obtain these uacK 

 volumes. Many of our best ajnarians say 

 they would not sell their back volumes of the 

 American Bkk Journal for ten times the 

 sum they cost, if they could not rejilace them. 

 They are exceedingly valuable alike to be- 

 giners and more advanced apiarians. 



John K. IMcAllister it Co., are our duly 

 authorized agents for the Amkkicwn Bke 

 Journal, at Room 27, Tribune Building, 

 Chicago, with whom any busiuess may be 

 transacted with our api>roval.au(l be ])rouii)t- 

 ly recognized by the manager of this 

 paper.
