GLEANINGS IN BEE CULTURE. 



867 



For Only Two Dollars ! 



Several times during the past season, when sending 

 in orders for queens of the superior stock that I have 

 been selling, have bee-keepers mentioned that, in the 

 past, they had bought queens of the various breeders, 

 and found the bees from (mentioning the breed- 

 er who furnishes this stock that I am selling) away 

 ahead of the others, but " I want the best, so I am go- 

 ing to try yours. If they are ahead of 's they have 



got to be pretty good." More than one order has end- 

 ed in exactly these words. There is no doubt whatever 

 that this is really an unusually superior strain of bees. 

 Bver since I brought this strain of bees into notice by 

 my persistent advertising, the demand has been 

 greater than the supply — nearly the whole season I 

 was from three to six weeks behind with orders. A 

 large number have written me that the}' will order 

 queens another season, and some are already sending 

 in their orders. If you wish for as good bees as there 

 are in this country, and want them next spring in 

 time to get the most good out of them that year, I 

 would suggest that you send me your order this fall. 

 All orders are booked the day that they are received, 

 and will be filled strictly in rotation. The price of a 



queen alone is 81.50, but I have a most tempting offer 

 to make in connection with a subscription to the Re- 

 view. Send me $2.00, and I will send you twelve back 

 numbers of the Review (for particulars in regard to 

 these back numbers see my ad in the last issue of 

 Gleanings), the Review for the rest of this year, for 

 all of 1900, and next spring I will send you one of 

 these queens from which you can rear bees that, in 

 all probability, will be far ahead of the stock that you 

 now possess. If you have not read my advertisements 

 that appeared in Gleanings the past summer, and 

 wish to know more about the qualities of these bees, 

 and the conditions under which the queens are sold, 

 drop me a postal, and I will send a copy of a circular 

 that I sent out in the summer, which will give all 

 particulars. If not acquainted with the Review, send 

 10 cts., and three late but different issues will be sent; 

 and the 10 cts. may apply on a subscription if you de- 

 cide to send one in. 



Remember, twelve back numbers, the Review the 

 rest of this year, all of next year, and a queen from 

 stock that is the equal, if not the superior, of any in 

 America.
