 If undecided upou this subject, by all means read 

 this number. The April number (which will be out 

 in about two weeks) will take up the topic of " Se- 

 curing- Workers for the Harvest; " or perhaps it 

 would be more proper to say: "Spring Manage- 

 ment." R. L. Taylor, .Tames Heddon, Dr. A. B. 

 Mason, Dr. C. C. Miller, E. E. Hasty, F. P. Stiles, H. 

 R. Boardman, J. H. Robertson, J. H. Martin, and 

 Oliver Foster are among the contributors to these 

 two issues. Besides this, there are several pages in 

 each number devoted to extracts and to short, point- 

 ed editorials upon live, practical subjects. An ex- 

 haustive review of Mr. Cheshire's great work, "Bees 

 and Bee-Keeping," is begun in the present issue. 

 Price of the Review, .50c a year. Samples free.

^'FABLES AND ALLEGORIES."^ 



Much to my surprise, we h.ive sold, (hirinfc tlie last year, over 

 sixt.v of these beautiful and valuable book.-. Althoug-h at the 

 time 1 considered the book well worth $2.00,1 didn't suppose 

 there were many who would want to ijay that price for a book 

 of that character. When we take into consideration, however, 

 that it is not only about as handsome a book as can be found 

 in our bookstores, externally and internally, but that is also a 

 book in which godiine-s and purity shine forth from every 

 pasre. it is perhaps not so very surprising. The book is not, in 

 one sense, a religious book, for the principles are taught in- 

 directly, in the form of a little story, or fable, and sometimes 

 the leader does not see at once the api)lication; but when it 

 bursts upon him he feels a s|iirit of thankfulness for liavin^ 

 been taught perhaps the very lesson he nicds. liv way of a sort 

 of parable. The book contains .'ilii panes ami .(.'lO eiii^iaviiigs. 

 Many of the latter are some of the lincst iiij,'ravings tliat are 

 to be found in modern print. The author of this work. Mr. 

 Charles Foster, went to his heavenly rest dining tin- past 

 year; but it seems tome that his book will stand, iiuich as 

 the Pilgrim's Progress does, to help humanity through ages to 

 come. Our new stock is even nicer than the Last for they are in 



filt binding; but the price will remain the same; viz., 82.00 each; 

 woforl3.50, three for 81. 6,'j each; Ave or more, $1.60 each. If 

 wanted by mail, you will have to send 32 cts. extra, as the 

 book is so very large and heavy. We can send it for five new 

 names for Gi.e.\nings. you paying postage.

LITHOGRAPH LABELS 



1x3. 12 Colors, a.-b $S.OO per lOOO. 



When Mr. James Abbott, of London, Eng., was 

 with us a year ago, he had samples of a very neat 

 lithograph label, oblong in shape, measuring2^8x258. 

 We mentioned them at the time in Gle.a.ninos, 

 agreeing to send samples as soon as we received 

 them. Well, they have just come to hand, although 

 we ordered ,50,0(H) over a year ago. They are about 

 the nicest labels we ever saw for glass tumblers, 

 pails, and small packages of honey. We will mail 

 a sample inclosed in our label catalogue, free on 

 application, and will furnish them postpaid at the 

 following prices: 5 cts. for 10; 40cts. for 100: $1.35 

 for .500; $3.00 for 1000. A. 1. Root, Medina, O.
