KIND WORDS FROM OUR CUSTOMERS. 



T am g^lad to inlorm .you that the tested Italian 

 queens bouitrht ol you in JhI.v last have proved to 

 be all that 1 could have e.xpected. 1 have pi-oducea 

 very fine thrce-bandeil workers. 



Emmettsvllle, Ind. Jacob Caylor. 



The untested queen received from you sotne tim^ 

 since proves to he a tine one, and ver.v fertile. She 

 produces fine 3-banded workers. The season is vei-y 

 poor in this section. Rasswood has failed entirely. 

 Clover yield was not larg-c Huckwheat promises 

 well, but is not fully out yet. R. G. KlIng. 



Charleston Pour Corners, N. Y. 



HOW TO PUT ON THE ROUND LABELS. 



The goods came to hand. Those round labels No. 

 I'i are beauties, and the place to stick them is on 

 the inside of the glass ([ use them for comb honey), 

 .i'lstsothey will be in the center of the section. 

 They make very nice combinations and they will 

 never get soiletl, and the commission nu-n can't get 

 them otf nor scratch off the address. H. W. FUNK* 



Bloomington, 111., Sept. 4, 188B. 



The imported queen yon sent to replace the misS' 

 ing one arrived safely, and is now layins' in a new 

 colony. We are well pleased with her appearance, 

 and she seems to be especially prolitlc. And we 

 are also much pleased with the wa.v you settled the 

 matter in regard to the loss of ihe first queen. We 

 can not say that we expected yon to replace her at 

 your own entire expense, but felt willing to leave 

 the matter entirely in your hands, feeling satisfied 

 that von would do the fair thing in the matter. 



Pomeroy, O. S. A. Dvke & Co. 



lean not send off my order without expressing 

 briefly my gratitude for such a blessing as Glean- 

 ings is to' us. Each year I have taken It contains at 

 least 2f happy days— the da.vs on which Gleanings 

 comes; and whenever I write to distant friends 1 

 tell them of its merits. I have kept bees now .lust 

 nine years, and I am quite sure that no one ever 

 cared moi-e for their bees than [ do. I am ever so 

 sorr.v to know that you have foul tirood in your 

 apiary; but I like the method you have taken for 

 a cure— the furnace idea. W. S. Pouder.
