System and Success. 



^e~ All who Intend to be syslematic in 

 their work in the apiary, should get a copy of 

 the Apiary Register and commence to use it. 

 the prices are reduced, as follows : 



For 50 colonies (120 pages) f 1 00 



" 100 colonies (220 pages) 1 2o 



" 200 colonies (420 pages) 150 



The larger ones can be used for a few col- 

 onies, give room for an increase of numbers, 

 and still keep the record all together in one 

 book, and are therefore the most desirable.

 mfent of one dollar is just what every sub-

THE CHAPMAN 



HONEY PLANT. 



Having e.xpended thousands of dollars in 

 bringing before the people one of the most 

 wonderful honey-producing plants known 

 in the United States, or even in the world, 

 and testing it honestly and fairly, wish to 

 say through your valualile Jouk.vad that 

 the seed contains so much oil that nothing 

 but fresh seed will grow, or by thrashing, if 

 the seed is bruised or broken, it will not 

 grow for this reason. And by the advice of 

 many prominent bee-keepers, I have de- 

 cided to sell the limited amount of seed I 

 have raised this season at the following 

 prices, and will send to those Jwho have 

 already ordered the amount of seed due 

 them at this low price: One half ounce 50 

 cents ; 1 ounce, S^l ; 2 ounces. ?1.50 : -4 

 ounces, $2 ; '2 pound, S3 ; 1 pound, $5. One 

 pound of seed IS sulHcient for half an acre, 

 if properly thinned out and re-set. Write all 

 orders plainly, and give your pnst-oHice in 

 full. H. CHAPMAN,
