CIRCULARS RECEIVED. 



W. S. Cauthen, Plpasant Hill. S. C. spnds us hi3 

 price list of Italian queens and Uees for 1884. 



Howe & Son, Council Bluffs, Iowa, have sent us an 

 8-page lis-t of hives, etc.; pages 6x3. map fold. 



Henry Drum, Adelphia, Ohio, sends out a 14-page 

 list of apiarian supplies. It is very nicely gotten up. 



C. M. Goodspeed, Thorn Hill. N. Y., has mniled us 

 a 4-page list of bees, queens, fowls, and small fruits. 



We have just printed for Jas. M. Hyne, Stewarts- 

 ville, Ind., his price list of things pertaining to the 

 apiary. 



E. IT. Cook. Andover, Conn., sends out a circular 

 containing prices of Italian bees and queens, rubber 

 stamps, etc. 



The Model Bee-hive Co., of Philadelphia, Pa., have 

 sent us a postal circular of apiariju wares manu- 

 factured by them. 



Oliver Foster, Mt. Vernon, Iowa, has just received 

 from our press his price list cf queens, bees, and 

 molded fdn. Send for one. 



We have just printed for Smith & Smith, of Ken- 

 ton. O., their price list of bee implements. It is 

 Gleaninos size, and the "boys" consider it the 

 best, in some respects, of any similar job they have 

 done this season. 



M. Kichardson & Son, Port Colborne, Ont., have 

 sent us a 16-page circularof things pertainingto api- 

 culture. The book is 6x9, and reflects considerable 

 credit on the printers, as compared with the average 

 circular we receive. 



A. H. Newman, Chicago, 111., is sending out his 

 regular annual illustrated catalogue, oO pages. 

 While the outward appearance of the list is much 

 the same as last year, wc notice that friend Newman 

 has added quite a number of novelties. 



Henry Alley, Wenham, Mass., has sent as a pros- 

 pectus of his "Handy Book." Besides numero\)s 

 testimonials, the pamphlet contains several illustra- 

 tions showing the outline of his manner of raising 

 queen-cells. It will pay you to send for this little 

 prospectus, which is, we believe, mailed free. 



P. G. & H. W. Bass. Orford, N. H., send us a circu- 

 lar, illustrating and explaining their circular bee- 

 hive. The idea is to have a mf)vable-comb hive as 

 compact as an old-fat-bioned log gum. it is novel 

 and ingenious, and no douhf bees may be managed 

 so as to do almost if not quite as well as in any hive. 

 But without e\er having seen such in priiciical op 

 eration. I sh'>iild feci as if it were iwistiog the bees 

 a little, as well as their owu( r. to make ihem con- 

 form to it. 



r. Koester. Bockmheim. Germany, has sent us his 

 treatise on b< e culture, oontaininfj 66 pages, 6'2k4. 

 The ordinary Gorman btters are nor. used in ibis 

 bonk, but Roman is ust d instead. The whole work 

 displays that l;it)orious attention todetails that char- 

 acterizes our Gei-man frieniis. The printing is e.\- 

 trelneiy good. In the hack part (jf the bixik there 

 lire four pages of lithographic drawings, giving .'cc- 

 tional views of the dittereiu articles made. The 

 price is one mark —about 25 cents. 



Honey. ^ Honey. 



Great quantities of it, and great quantities of 

 choicest fruit from new Cuthbert raspberry. 1 have 

 really lound a good thing at last. It is the largest 

 and best red raspberry grown: so say those who 

 have tested it, and so say I. Will stand heat or cold, 

 wet or drouth. Have tested it now for two years, 

 and am really surprised at the quantities of honey 

 gathered from the blossoms; and that, too, when 

 but little is gathered from any other source: bees 

 continue to work on them four weeks. 



I make more money from the crop of berries alone, 

 than from any crop grown on th** farm. A limited 

 quantity of tine plants for sale; I'i doz. for $1.00 by 

 mail, or $3 50 per 100 by rail.
