The A B C of Bee Culture 



When we announced the completion of the new edition 

 late in 1907 there was a good deal of satisfaction to notice 

 'he big buncb of orders on hand, although we did regret the 

 unavoidaL delay in getting the books to some customers 

 who had w..ited patiently for months. Over two thousand 

 copies of this edition have already been sent out. We be- 

 lieve all urgent orders have been filled. We felt that the 

 change of price to $1.50 postpaid might cause a little 

 slackening in the demand. Not so, however, for in all our 

 experience the orders never came faster. 



We have also of the English edition a half leather at 

 $2.00 and full leather at $2.50, postpaid. 



German Edition, ABC der Bienenzucht in paper cov- 

 ers, $2.00. Cloth-bound at $2.50, postpaid, to any country. 



French Edition, A B C de L'Apiculture, cloth-bound, 

 at $2.00, postpaid, to any country. 



Gleanings in Bee Culture 



If you haven't seen a late copy of Gleanings you can't 

 tell from any brief description how really magnificent it is. 

 There are many valuable departments, and our subscribers 

 just at this season of the year are telling how much they 

 appreciate the paper. 



Each issue is very fully illustrated. The covers are 

 done by the finest engravers in Chicago, and our writers 

 are the best in the land. Besides dozens of writers of 

 prominence whose names we can't even mention for lack of 

 space, we have such men as Dr. E. F. Phillips, U. S. Dept. 

 of Agriculture; Dr. Edward F. Bigelow, Associate Editor 

 St. Nicholas; F. Dundas Todd, former Editor Photo-Bea- 

 con; Allen Latham, Connecticut, etc. 



A trial of six months (i2 numbers) costs 2Sc. If in 

 addition to your own subscription you secure others for six 

 months keep loc on each one for your trouble. A liberal 

 cash commission to those whc do canvassing for us. 



Gasoline Engines and Power 

 Honey Extractors 



For large ap'aries, or where the honey comes with a 

 rush and labor is scarce, you should investigate our power 

 machines. A circular of these will be sent on request.
