GLEANINGS IN BEE CULTURE 



Annual Catalog Review 



Continued from Feb. ir> 



The purpose of our brief review of each of the following 

 publications is that readers of Gleanings in Bee Culture may 

 have before them a condensed list which will give an idea of the 

 contents of catalogs issued by manufacuirers of articles and goods 

 in which they may be interested. Needless to say. we encourage 

 all such to send direct to ihe person or firm whose name is given 

 for a catalog or booklet, which may be studied in leisure moments. 



It is also our suggestion that, whenever a purchase is contem- 

 plated, two or three catalogs pertaining to the one subject be aslied 

 for. 



In writing, it is, of course, advisable that you mention Glean- 

 ings IN Bee Culture; and if you wUi do this you will find every 

 person or concern whose name appears below quite ready to give 

 your request the prompt attention it will deserve. 



To the best of our knowledge and belief, each of the following 

 booklets and catalogs is put out by a reputable house such as we 

 would advise our readers to deal with:
