GLEANINGS IN BEE CULTURE

' If goods are wanted quick, send to Pouder.' 



Twenty-second Year. 



SKJ 



A large and complete stock of the Root Goods offered at the factory schedule 

 of prices. My system of rotating does not permit any accumulation of old 

 stock. My comb foundation is always fresh from the mills; my sections fresh 

 and bright, and hives have all latest improvements. I accept beeswax in 

 payment for goods, or I will pay highest market price for wax in cash. I am 

 in need of more wax at all times. 



My Perfection Tight-seal Jars are acknowledged as being the best for 

 extracted honey, and I assume all responsibility in shipping, guaranteeing 

 safe arrival. I mean exactly what I say. 



My new Paper Honey-jars are cheap enough for retailers to give away 

 with their honey. No more waiting to exchange jars or crocks when you 

 deliver your honey. My catalog tells all about these things, and is sent free.

Uenllt men:— Some time asro I Bent to you for a 

 Bamrle of your white and yellow sweet-clover seed. 

 After receiving the samples I sent them to Washing- 

 Ion. D. C. The yellow hulled tested 99.71 per cent of 

 pure peed; the nnhulled white tested 99.11 per cent of 

 pure peed. I think that is fine. I inclose you the sam- 

 ple that you sent me. and want you to send me 80 lbs. 

 of the pame lot that this sample Is out of, or some 

 equally good. Send the seed by freight. 



Yours truly, H. A. Jett. 



We have a booklet, published for free distribu- 

 tion, which tells THE TRUTH ABOUT 

 SWEET CLOVER. Ask for your copy.

The prices are all subject to market changes. 

 As to the comparative value of the different 

 varieties, we will say that the white, or Meli- 

 lotus alba, is most common, and therefore the 

 best known. The yellow is desirable because 

 it begins blooming usually from two to four 

 weeks earlier than the white. As to the two 

 varieties of yellow, one of the experiment 

 stations has said there was a distinction with- 

 out a difference.

We have on hand some extra copies of the American Bee Journal for January, Feb- 

 ruary, and March, 1911, that we would like to put into the hands of those who have 

 never seen or read it. As long as they last, we will mail 3 copies for only 10 cents. 

 Should you afterward order a year's subscription, then the 10 cents may apply on it. 

 We are offering a year's subscription to the American Bee Journal and a copy of Doolittle's "Sci- 

 entiflc Queen-rearing "—both for only $1.00— the regular subscription price of the Bee Journal alone. 

 Or, if you prefer it, instead of the Doolittle book, we will mail you a copy of "The Pearce Method 

 of Bee-keeping." You might send 10 cents first for the three copies referred to, and then, after 

 reading them, send in your order for a year's subscription. We are sure you would be pleased 

 withithe American Bee Journal. It is now in its 51st year. Address
