THIS is an offer addressed to the Ger- 

 man readers of GLEANINGS IN 

 BEE CULTURE. 



The publishers of 

 this journal find at 

 he close of the year 

 , surplus stock of 

 opies of — 



The 



ABCder 

 Bienen- 

 zucht. 



This Is a complete 

 ranslatlon of the "A 

 i C of Bee Culture," 

 nnotated corrected, 

 i,nd brought down 

 o date by Mr. F. 

 ireiner, who is a 

 borough German 

 cholar, besides be- 

 ng a practical bee- 

 Keeper, familiar with 

 American methods. 



THIS BOOK was published to sell at 12.00 

 per copy In paper binding, and 12.50 in 

 cloth. It is handsomely printed and 

 illustrated, but the translation is a little too 

 fi'ee. Understand ! There are no incorrect 

 statements — nothing that will be misunder- 

 stood—simply a little bit more of American 

 German than we would use in a new edition. 



SEVERAL hundred of the German edition 

 of the A B C of Bee Culture have been 

 sold, and not a single complaint or any 

 evidence whatever of dissatisfaction has come 

 to our notice. The book is a success in every 

 way, only we have not properly advertised it; 

 and the sale (in comparison to that of the 

 English edition) is slow. 



Here is How You 

 May Profit 



To close out the German ABC we are going 

 to ofler a paper-bound copy, with GLEAN- 

 INGS for one year, for only S1.75. GLEAN- 

 INGS alone costs 81.00, so you practically get 

 the book by paying 50 cts. and postage — which 

 will be at least 25 cts. The cloth-bound edi- 

 tion — a beautiful volume — may be had with 

 GLEANINGS, while stock lasts, for only 82.00. 



If your subscription Is already paid, take this 

 offer any way. You will get full-year exten- 

 sion, and the book will be sent at once. 



English-speaking bee-keepers should call the 

 attention of German friends to this special 

 oflfer.
