GLEANINGS IN BEE CULTURE. 



Premium 



A B C of Bee Culture, 



It is hardly necessary to speak of 

 tlie merits of this work, wliich, 

 judged from its extensive sale, is 

 tlie most widely read book on bee 

 culture in the English languag-e, 

 and, for aught we know, in any 

 language. The last edition com- 

 pleted 62,000 copies from the press 

 during the last eighteen years since 

 It was first printed. This last edi- 

 tion has been greatly improved. It 

 IS enlarged to 475 octavo pates, with 

 over 300 illustrations, many of them 

 fuli-page. Some .of the latter em- 

 brace a view of the apiaries of some of the largest 

 and most successful bee-men. In the back part of 

 the work is a biographical department of sketches 

 and half-tone portraits of the most successful 

 American apiarists. The whole work is brimful of 

 contagious enthusiasm, and the style simple and 

 instructive. None of the matter pertaining to the 

 apicuitural part of the book is electrotyped, but all 

 is kept in standing type, so tha when any new thing 

 of importance comes up it can be inserted in its 

 proper place, and the old struck out. Its quick sales 

 have warranted us in giving it frequent and thor- 

 ough revisions. The present edition is greatly en- 

 larged and improved, so that it is nearly twice the 

 size of the one first issued; and no liee-keeper hav- 

 ing one of the earliest copies can afford to be with- 

 'out this latest edition. Tlie book has grown so large 

 that it now takes 19 cents postage to Jmall it. We 

 have not advanced our prices, however. Price $1.20 

 postpaid; SI 00 with other goods. Gleanings one 

 year, clubbed with the ABC. postpaid for §2. Club-

 newal and $2.50 you can have the book prepaid.
