'^iwv^D^"''''^' HONEY, Beeswax, Haple Sugar and Syrup. 



We desire to inform our friends and patrons that our firm has been re-organized and additional capi- 

 tal added. The business will be conducted under the firm name and style of 



HILDRETH «& SEGELKEN, 



at the old stand, where we have had the pleasure of serving- our friends for the past 11 years. Manage- 

 ment and supervision will be the same and our business methods — those of square and honest dealings — 

 will be practiced as heretofore. 



We believe we have won the esteem and confidence of our shippers thruout the country, and that our 

 dealings, as a rule, have been of the most pleasant nature. 



Our additional capital will put us in position to increase our already large business still farther, 

 if possible, and at the same time enable us to treat our shippers even more liberally than heretofore, in 

 making advances, etc. 



Records will show that we handle by far the bulk of all the honey sent to our market. We make 

 honey the principal part of our business, are personally acquainted and have trade connections all over the 

 country, which enable us to handle any amount of h(>ney to better advantage than any other house. 



Old shippers know us and will bear us out in what we have said. Those bee-keepers who do not know 

 us and have had no dealings with us, we would cordially invite to corre.spond with us and make cur ac- 

 quaintance. We not only handle on commission but buy largely as well, from small lots to carloads, for 

 spot cash. 



We wish to call the attention of the Southern bee-keepers to the fact, that our market never was in 

 better condition than this season. Old stock is disposed of and the market is bare, with a good demand. 

 New crop will find ready sale and at higher prices than have ruled for years past. We would advise them 

 to send their honey, while there is a good demand at good prices, as later on conditions of the market may 

 change. 



We also handle MAPLE SUGAR AND SYRUP very extensively, and would be pleased to hear from 

 those having any of these goods to oifer. 



In conclusion, we wish to extend our thanks to all of our shippers for their past favors, and trust to 

 receive their kind consideration in the future.

Italians, Blacks, and Black-Italians 



Swarmins: Without Capt 



Queen-Cells. 



Query <)2. — It is generally admitted, I believe, 

 that Italian bees will sometimes ?warm without 

 having capt queen-cells in the hive, and some- 

 limes even without having queen-cells started. 



1. In the light of yi>ur e.xperience, are you pre- 

 pared to affirm that black bees can be depended 

 upon not to swarm without capt <iueen-cells? 



2. Same question applied to black-Italian hy- 

 brids.— Ml n.vesot a.
