Stat«ment of John Webster, an extensive Bee Culturist of 



East Hamburgh, Erie Co., N. Y. 



I have used Dr. O. Reynolds' Non-Swarming and Dividing 

 Bee-Hives the past season. I consider them a valuable im- 

 prove»ent, and one that will make a complete revolution 

 in the manner of treating the Honey Bee. I exhibited one 

 of the Hives at the Agricultural Fair, held at Buflalo, Sept. 

 23 and 24, and the Committee awarded a premium. They 

 are us-3d extensively in this section, and their principles 

 have been thoroughly tested, and no Apiarian who wishes 

 to render his Bees profitable should be without them.

Dr. Reynolds — Sir : You are at liberty to make whatever 

 disposition you think proper of the following statements. — 

 On the second day of May last, 1 had an old colony of Bees, 

 which sent out a young swarm, and it was put into one of 

 your hives. On examinmg the hive on the 1 8th day of June, 

 I found they had filled the lower drawers ; and I divided 

 them agreeably to your directions. The 20th of July, I di- 

 divided one of the colonies again, making three colonies, 

 for which I can take $21. The old hive sent out another 

 swarm which is worth $5 — present value $26. Deduct ex-

ROCHESTER SEED STORE, 



By JAMES P. FOGG. 

 The subscriber having purchased the interest 



of Mr. B. F. Smith, in the SEED business, will continue 

 the business as heretofore at the Rochester Seed Store on 

 Front street, nearly opposite the market. 



The subscriber is well aware of the important relation 

 which the seedman holds to the whole farming communi- 

 ty, and that on his honor and veracity the crop and profit of 

 a season in some measure depend. The greatest care has 

 been used in selecting the seeds ofiTered at this establish- 

 ment for the ensuing year, and they can be relied upon as 

 pure and genuine, carefully selected and raised from the 

 very best varieties, and properly cured. Many kinds were 

 raised in the immediate vicinity of this city, by Mr. C. F. 

 Crosman, and under the inspection of the proprietor ; oth- 

 ers were raised by experienced seed growers, and all can be 

 recommended as genuine and true to their kinds. 



The subscriber begs leave to say to Farmers, and others, 

 who have for the last three years so liberally patronised the 

 Old Rochester Seed Store, that the misrepresentations of 

 interested persons that he has sold out, is not true! He 

 will be on hand, as usual, with a complete assortment of 

 every description of Seeds for the Spring Trade. Further 

 particulars hereafter.
