Please write names and post-office ad- 

 dress very plain. Very often men forget 

 to give their post-office, and (juite often a 

 man dates his letter from the place where 

 he lives, when the paper is to be sent to 

 some other office. 



Three Numbers Free ! 



By an arrangement with the manufactur- 

 ers of the Abbott Pocket Microscope 

 we are able to make the following remark- 

 able offer to new subscribers: 



To give those who are unacquainted with 

 the merits of our paper an opportunity to 

 try it before becoming regular subscribers, 

 we propose to send three numbers of The 

 American Bee Journal "on trial" and 

 The Abbott Pocket Microscope, des- 

 cription of which will be found in our ad- 

 vertising columns, for $1..50, the price of 

 THE Microscope alone, and thus get the 

 Journal, for three months practically free. 

 The Microscope alluded to is the most com- 

 plete thing of the kind we ever saw, and 

 can be made valuable in many ways, be- 

 sides being a constant source of amusement 

 and instruction. Send in your orders. 



5t^"Read our list of Premiums for getting 

 up clubs. We have extended the time to 

 January 31, 1877— in order to encourage 

 agents to work for the best premitims. 



II^"The Abbott Pocket Microscope, ad- 

 vertised on another page, is an instrument 

 of gi'eat usefulness for examining flowers, 

 seeds, plants, insects, etc. It is in a con- 

 venient form for carrying in the pocket and 

 is thus ready for use on any occasion when 

 wanted. We will send this microscope to 

 any address by mail, post-paid, upon receipt 

 of the manufacturer's price, $1.50. 



To all new subscribers for 1877, we 

 will give the remaining numbers of this 

 year free, or a work on bee-culture, as 

 they may choose. 



We will present 100 tulip trees to any 

 person sending one or more new sub- 

 scribers for 1877. See Club Rates on 

 page 296. The trees will be from 4 to 8 

 inches high, and will be sent in Novem- 

 ber or May, as desired. Those desiring 

 these trees must mention them when 

 sending in subscriptions. 



When writing for The American Bee 

 Journal it is just as well to write on both 

 sides of the sheet of paper and will save 

 postage. It is usual to ask to have it 

 written only on one side for a daily or 

 weekly, but for a monthly it makes no 

 difierence, as we do not "cut up" any 

 article for the printers. We would ask 

 that all items of business, etc., be written 

 on a separate sheet, however, as we lile 

 all such for reference.
