GLEANINGS IN BEE CULTURE. 



Nov. 1. 



KIND WORDS FROM OUR CUSTOMERS. 



The queen you shipped Sept. 13 came in splendid 

 conditii-n, and I mu-sit .say I was very well pleased with 

 her — 7 davs on road. There was riot one dead bee in 

 the lot. ' Newton Sheldon. 



Big Pine, Cal., Sept. 29. 



The sections j-ou sent me have come to hand, and 

 they are the nicest I ever had. They are .square when 

 put together, and the dovetailed corners fit niceh'. I 

 am surprised at the low freight rates from Medina. I 

 don't think I shall ever try to keep bees without 

 Gleanings. W. H. Parker. 



New Ca,stle, Ala., June 29. 



Please accept my .sincere thanks for yonr very kind 

 note telling me how best to treat the "Darling" straw- 

 beri-j'-plant recently received from your house. It is 

 the very handsomest plant I have ever .seen. I did 

 not need to shade or coddle it in the lea.st. When I 

 took it out of the box it was as fresh as when you put 

 it in. It has already made two new leaves and a run- 

 ner, which last I promptly clipped. My pit is an ex- 

 cellent one, well drained." with a southern exposure, 

 so that I am expecting the jjlant to start into an early 

 and vigorous growth next spring. This plant is so 

 handsome and well established that I feel sure it mu.st 

 be greatly superior to any thing that yoti will send out 

 in quantities, nevertheless I shall send you an order 

 for some of your pet Jessies in the spring. By that 

 time I shall have mastered the A B C so thoroughly as 

 to be able to treat them intelligentl}'.
