plain sections 25c PER 1000 LESS. 

 A curious eiTor occurred in the first edition of our 

 bee-supply catalog for 1906. If you happen to have a 

 copy of this edition you will note on page 18 that the 

 price of plain sections reads .^?;e cents less per 1000 than 

 price named in tables. In electrotyping, the figure 2 of 

 the 25 cents slipped down the column and was not no- 

 ticed. If you have ordered plain sections at five cents 

 less per 1000 we will make matters right with you, 



FRENCH gleanings. 

 Under the title of " L'Apiculture," our agent for con- 

 tinental Europe, Mr. Emile Bondonneau, 142 Faubourg 

 St. Denis, Paris, began January 1st the publication of a 

 new bee journal. This new periodical consists largely 

 of translations made from current numbers of Glean- 

 ings, and illustrated by the same excellent half-tones. 

 We receive large numbers of this paper, and can mail 

 them monthly for $1.50 per year. Mr. Bondonneau also 

 translated the ABC, which we are selling at $2.00 per 

 volume. We can also furnish in French. " Facts About 

 Bees" and "Modern Queen-rearing" at 25 cts. per 

 copy. Tell your French friends about our publication 

 in this language.
