Xmas Gleanings is a peach, it is 

 just chock full of good things, every 

 bee-keeper in the world should have 

 a copy. W. E. Tribbett,

There is only one fault to be found 

 with Gleanings: it comes only twice 

 a month instead of twice a week.

 it. W. E. Tribbett.

I write to congratulate you on the 

 beautiful copy of Gleanings which 

 has just arrived. It is the best and 

 most beautiful copy that has come 

 into our office so far this year. Many 

 thanks for your magazine, which we 

 always enjoy looking over.

Your Christmas number of Glean- 

 ings has just come to hand, and I 

 must say it is a beauty. Mj wife is 

 especially delighted with the sprig 

 of clover on the front cover. It cer- 

 tainly is a work of art. I have mere- 

 ly had time to glance through it, 

 but am especially pleased with the 

 half-tone reproductions. I judge 

 from the opening lines in Our Homes 

 that your father has not yet gone to 

 Florida. It brought a smile to my 

 face when I noticed how, like Tom 

 Lawson, he is crowded over into the 

 advertising pages for a finish.

Your Xmas cover is very pretty.

Please send me two additional cop- 

 ies Christmas Gleanings. They 

 will make nice presents for distant 

 friends. F. H. Drake.

Your Christmas number of Glean- 

 ings is a beauty, both inside and out.

I am one of your old subscribers 

 (since '88 I think) and beg to say 

 that I highly appreciate your beau- 

 tiful and valuable Xmas number. 



Winchester, Va. Jno. S. Coe. 



Being a subscriber myself of your 

 valuable paper Gleanings, and aft 

 er having read the last copy I de- 

 cided to show it to some of my 

 friends. They at once showed them- 

 selves to be very enthusiastic about 

 it, and directed me to subscribe for 

 them — three in all. N. Peterson.

Permit us to congrratulate you on 

 the selection of the Christmas cover. 

 If you will furnish us a half-tone of 

 it thirteen ems wide, we shall be 

 pleased to use it in the January 

 number of White's Class Advertis- 

 ing. We are going to say some- 

 thing about it.

Allow me to congratulate you'upon 

 the excellence of the Christmas 

 number of Gleanings. It was the 

 most interesting, valuable, and far 

 away the handsomest issue of any 

 bee-journal ever given to the public. 

 I wish you a happy and prosperous 

 new year. May God's best blessings 

 be your portion. You have always 

 treated us all so well that in the 

 hours of the new year you come to 

 our minds, and we have for The A I. 

 Root Co. nothing but love and the 

 hope that all may be well with its 

 men and women during the year.

I have a queen that came from 

 your place. She started in May with 

 one frame of bees, and she put me 

 up three supers of sections besides 

 her stores for winter. She went into 

 winter quarters with a solid hive of 

 bees. Now don't forget and count 

 me out on that Christmas number. 

 S. V. Labree'. 



Nantasket, Mass. 



The Christmas number I consider 

 worth the subscription price— not on 

 account of any one article, but the 

 fine halftones and general make-up 

 and the natural and life like front 

 cover. 



Don't encourage the importation 

 of the stmgless bee. We have 

 English sparrows enough here now

I am very much interested in 

 Gleanings and would not like to do 

 without It. We have a few swarms 

 of bees, and since I have been read- 

 ing Gleanings I can see where we 

 can do very much better with them 

 than has ever been done before I 

 can see that they have been shame- 

 fully abused both winter and .sum- 

 mer, which will not happen again 



Concord, Mass. C. A. Thomas! 



" Gleanings in Bee Culture " comes 

 to us in a Christmas number in an 

 exceedingly artistic and handsome 

 colored cover and with rich contents 

 that justifies its very handsome en- 

 closure. It IS a very practical publi- 

 cation on the subject of the bee and 

 bee culture, and i» regarded as a 

 standard authority on its subjects 

 The present number, like every is- 

 sue, is most creditable.
