BEE-HIVES. 



After much experimentation, and a 

 can>ful study into the paint question, 

 we offer a mixed 



Paint Prepared Especially for Bee-Hives. 



It will not Chalk or Flake off. 

 We guarantee it to be free from adulterants, 

 such as whiting, barytes, lime, and other sub- 

 stitutes that do not add to the enduring quali- 

 ties of the paint. Our paint is made of strictly 

 pure lead, strictly pure zinc, and genuine Frencli 

 ocher of about equal proportions, mixed in pure 

 linseed oil. It is generally recognized that there 

 is no pigment more permanent than French 

 ocher; and this, combined with zinc and lead, 

 makes a most durable combination. The re- 

 sultant tint is a pale straw color. Price: Pint. 

 35c: quart. (JOe: half-gallon, *1.0(3; gallon, «l,75. 

 Half a gallon will cover ten No. 1 Dovetailed 

 hives two coats.
