GLEANINGS IN BEE CULTURE. 



BOOKS for BEE-KEEPERS and OTHERS. 



Any of these hnoks on which postage is not given, 

 will be forwarded by mail, postpaid, on receipt of 

 price. 



In buying boolis, as every thing else, we are liable 

 to disappointment, if we make a purchase without 

 seeing the article. Admitting that the bsokseller 

 could read all the books he offers, as he has them /or 

 sale, it were hardly to be expected he would be the 

 one to mention all the faults, as well as good things 

 about a book. I very much desire that those who fa- 

 vor me with their patronage, shall not be disappoint- 

 ed, and therefore, I am going to try to prevent it by 

 mentioning all the faults so far as I can, that the 

 purchaser may know what ho is getting. In the fol- 

 lowing list, books that I approve, I have marked with 

 a *; those I dspeciaUu approve,**; those that are not up 

 to times, t; books that contain but little matter for 

 the price, large type and much space between the 

 lines,*; foreign, §. 



BOOKS ESPECIALLV FOK BEE-KEEPERS. 



As many of the bee-books are sent with other goods by freight 

 or express, incuriingr no postage, we give prices separately. 

 You will notice, that j-ou can judge of the size of the books vei-y 

 well, by the amount required for postage on each. 

 Postsige.l [Price without postage.

You can not look over the back No's of Glean- 

 ings or any other Periodical with satisfaction, unless 

 they are in some kind of a Binder. Who has not 

 said— "Dear me, what a bother-I must have last 

 month's Journal and it is no where to be found." 

 Put each No. in the Emerson Binder as soon as it 

 comes, and you can sit down happy, any time you 

 wish to find anything you may have previously seen 

 even though it were months ago. 



Binders for Gleanings (will hold them for one 

 year), gilt lettered, free by mail for 50, 60, and 75c, 

 according to quality. Table of prices of Binders for 

 any Periodical, mailed on application. Send in 

 yoiir orders. A. T. ROOT. Medina. Ohio. 



The Canndian P. O. authorities refuse to receive these 

 through the mails, as they exceed the proper weight for raer 

 chandiso.
