I shall visit my Eastern apiaries this winter, and | 

 bring' back early in the spring- a tine lot of (jiieens. j 

 Those who desire can have (jueeiis MAILED 1)1- j 

 KECT FROM CYPRUS OR FROM SYRIA to their 

 addresses during- March, and on all queens so sent I j 

 will assume three-l'ourths of the risk provided the | 

 purchaser receives mail from N. Y^. City in five days. 

 For the Pacific Coast 1 will assume one-half the risk. | 



IMPOETED PALESTINE aUEENS (ao-called "Holy-Land:.") i 



Prices three-fourths those of Imported Cyprians ; 

 and Imported Syrians. Though Palestine lu cs pos- 

 sess some valuable qualities "common to Cyprians j 

 and Syrians, still, on account of their very liad tein- j 

 per and poor wintering qualities I can not recom- i 

 mend them for general introduction. To fanciers, 

 however, who desire them, I will say I can furnish 

 as fine imported (lueens as are to be had in Pales- | 

 tine. I 



OYPEIANS AND SYEIANS FEETILIZED IN CAENIOLA. { 



By mall from Germany, safe arrival guaranteed i 

 up to twenty-one days. Prices two-thirds those of 

 Imported Cyprians and Imported Syrians. All these 

 queens are selected daughters of fine imported 

 stock; are reared in full colonies, and are fertilized 1 

 in Carniola itself, where, of course, ONLY Carniolau ' 

 bees exist. From these crosses bee-keepers may ex- 

 pect the best results which can be obtained through 

 crossing any two distinct races. 



DISCOITNTS: On six queens, 5 per cent; ten qns., 

 10 per cent; twenty qns., 13 per cent; forty qns., 1.5

GALYANIZED^RON WIRE. 



I HAVE just hunted up a lot of galvanized iron 

 wire, nicely wound on spools, and it is just the size 

 wanted for grapevines and a thousand other pur- 

 poses. It is very neatly put up, like the spools I 

 illustrated on page 4.5; and as the manufacturer did 

 not dispose of it as rapidly as he exjiected, I bought 

 his whole stock, and can furnish it to you at a price 

 lower than any more can be made after this stock is 

 gone. We can sell you '-4-lb. spools. No. 20 or 22 

 wire, for only 5 cts., and they contain 78 and IIH 

 feet respectively. If wanted by mail, the postage 

 will be 7 cts. more. As this wire never rusts, it can 

 be used for a thousand other purposes in place of 

 copper wire, and the expense is only about one- 

 fourth that of copper. We can furnish Mb. spools 

 containing five ditterent sizes of wire; namely, 17, 

 18, 19, 20, and 22 guage, for only 15 cts. per spool, in- 

 stead of 20. as heretofore. If wanted by mail, 18 cts. 

 per lb. extra for postage and packing.

We have succeeded finally in getting glass so 

 near home that it is shipped to us with once hand- 

 ling, with very little danger of breakage, and with 

 such an important reduction in price that A glass 

 for large shipping-cases, which has heretofore been 



$4.00 per box, will be now only S;2.50-qu!te a drop, 



" ■ ■ 1 proportion. Fo 



different sizes, see our price list. 



is it not? Other sizes in proportion. For prices on
