GLEANINGS IN BEE CULTURE. 



June 15 



bee-keepers' field day at JENKINTOWN, pa., JUNE 26; 

 RATES FROM BOSTON AND PITTSBURG. 



So great was the enthusiasm at the meeting held at 

 the Jenkintown exhibition apiary last September, and 

 so numerous were the calls from different parts of the 

 United States, asking us when we would have another 

 such meeting, that it has led us to plan for even a larg- 

 er and more complete demonstration than was ever held 

 in this country before. The kindergarten method of 

 seeing as well as reading is up-to-date, and we now de- 

 sire our readers to see these expert writers demonstrate 

 what they say. 



THE MEETING will be held at our exhibition apiary 

 all day, commencing at 9:30 a. m., and continuing until 

 6 p. M., gathering under the trees, with the operators 

 on elevated platforms; also several large circles roped 

 off around the hives in different parts of the apiary, 

 giving the opportunity for a large number of people to 

 see the manipulations around each circle at one time. 

 From the advices we have already received, there is 

 prospect of a much larger attendance this year than 

 ever before. We have also engaged a large hall in the 

 town, within a few minutes' walk from the apiary, 

 where we will meet should it rain, and also hold an 

 evening meeting. Dr Lyon ■will exhibit here live bees 

 on the screen, moving pictures, etc. The evening ses- 

 sion will give a fuller time for discussion and review of 

 the work of the day. 



PLACE.— Jenkintown, Pa., a delightful suburb, ten 

 miles from center of Philadelphia, and the home of Mr. 

 Wm. A. Selser, is reached by the Baltimore & Ohio R. 

 R. from the south; L. V. R. R. from the north; New 

 Jersey Central R. R. from the east, and the P. & R. R. 

 R. from local points. Parties coming through Phila- 

 delphia can take a Willow Grove trolley on either 

 Eighth or Thirteenths Sts., and for 10c can ride direct 

 to the field, getting out at the Jenkintown toll-gate. 



ENTERTAINMENT.— Arrangements have been made 

 by the Root Co. to provide, free of cost to the visitors, 

 lunch at noon and evening; and for those coming from 

 a distance, arrangements will be made at one of the 

 good hotels for accommodations to stay over night, at 

 the rate of $1.50 to $2.00 per day. Reduced rates on the 

 railroad can be had by writing any of the undersigned. 

 We are negotiating with the railroad to run a special 

 train from New York city to the apiary, costing each 

 one $2.40 for the round trip, and a special train from 

 Washington. 



Mr. F. H. Farmer, 15 Chardon St., Boston, and Mr. 

 Alvin Spindler, Park Bldg.. Pittsburg, have kindly con- 

 sented to complete arrangements for the party from 

 Boston and Pittsburg. Please communicate with them 

 for particulars and let them know of your intention of 

 being present. 



RATES FROmT WASHINGTON. 



The special train leaves Washington over Pennsylva- 

 nia R. R., at 7 o'clock a.m., June 26, and will stop at Bal- 

 timore an hour later, at the Union Station only. If 

 parties desiring to take this train from Washington or 

 Baltimore will notify our Washington branch by the 

 23d, we can secure a marvelously low rate of $3.90 to 

 Philadelphia and return, provided we can get 100 bee- 

 keepers to take this train. The train returns at the 

 close of the meeting, about 9:45 in the evening. A short 

 trolley ride between the railroad station and the apiary 

 on arriving at Philadelphia. This rate either from 

 Washington or Baltimore can be secured only through 

 our Washington branch. If the required amount is 

 not secured, the next rate is the club rate of $5.40 for 

 the return trip. This will be a rare opportunity. Please
