GLEANINGS IN BEE CULTURE. 



1129 



IOOth-thousand edition of a b c ready. 

 The new edition of our A B C of Bee Culture is now 

 ready for delivery. This edition has received larger ad- 

 ditions in the way of new matter and entirely new sub- 

 jects than any previous one. It has many new illustra- 

 tions, and, as in the past, it is clear up to date in every 

 particular. While it has been greatly enlarged, the 

 price will be kept the same as before— $1.20 in cloth, 

 postpaid, or $1.00 by express or freight. 



AN " EDITION DE LUXE " OF THE A B C OF BEE CULTURE. 



We are arranging to furnish a limited number of "de 

 luxe " copies of the ABC book. These will be bound in 

 full leather, embossed in gold. The price of these will 

 be .$2.00 postpaid. Then we have also another edition 

 bound in half morocco, which we can furnish for $1.75 

 postpaid. These will be just suited for a nice Christ- 

 mas or birthday present to some new enthusiast on bees. 



FRENCH EDITION OF THE ABC BOOK. 



We expect to have a French edition of the ABC 

 ready for delivery in about three months. We are now 

 at work on the Spanish translation, and expect ere long 

 to get out another edition, in German. The book has 

 been selling in English at the rate of nearly 10,000 copies 

 a year. Indeed, many find it to their advantage to buy 

 a new edition every two or three years, because each 

 book is so greatly different from the preceding one.
