This is a new edition of Prof. Cook's Manual of 

 the Apiary, enlarged and elegantly illustrated. 

 The first edition of 3,000 copies was exhausted ia 

 about 18 months — a sale unprecedented in the. 

 annals of bee-culture. Thts new work has beent 

 produced with Kreat care, patiout study and per-, 

 sistent research. It comprises a full delineation, 

 of the anatomy and physiology of the honey bee, 

 illustrated with many costly wood enKravmss — 

 the productsof the Honey Bee ; the races ot bees; 

 full desccriptions of honey-producing plants.trees, 

 shrubs, etcsplendidly illustrated— and last,though, 

 not least, detailed instructions for the variousi^ 

 manipulations necessary in the apiary. 



This work is a masterly production, and one that^ 

 no bee-keeper, however limited his means, can 

 aflord to do without. It is fully "up with the times" 

 on every conceivable subject that can interest the . 

 apiarist. It is not only Instructive, but intensely 

 interesting and thoroughly practical. 



Read the following opmioiis of the Book; 



All agree that it Is the work of a master and of .• 

 real value.— L'.4picu((urc, Paris. 



I think Cook's Manual is the best of our Amen- . 

 can works.— LEWIS T. ColbV. 



It appears to have cut the ground from under- 

 future book-makers.- Bn(tA/i Bee Journal. 



Prof. Cook's valuable Manual has been my con-., 

 slant ^:uide in my operations and successful man-. 

 agementof the apiary.— J. P. West. 



I have derived more practical 'knowledge from- 

 Prof. Cook's New Manual of the Apiary than from 

 any other book.- E. H. Wynkoop. 



This book is just what everyone interested In 

 bees ought to have, and which, no one who ootains 

 it, will ever regret having purcnased.— JVXtc/i. Far, 



To all who wish to engage 'n bee-culture, a, 

 manual is a necessity. Prof. Cook's Manual is aa 

 exhaustive work.— Hera/ti, Monticello, 111. 



With Cook's Manual I am more than pleased. It 

 is fuily up with the times in every particular. The. 

 richest reward awaits its author.— A. E. Wexzel. 



My success has been so preat as to almost aston- . 

 ish myselt, and nuu-li of it is due to the clear, dis- 

 interested information contained in Cook's Man- 

 ual.— W.M. Van- ANTWEUi', M. U 



It is the latest book on the bee, and treats of both , 

 the bee and hives, with their implements. It is of 

 value to all bee-raisers.— if y. Live Stock Record. 



It is a credit to the author as well the publisher. 

 I have never yet met with a work, either French, 

 or toreign, which 1 like so much.— L'Abbe Dv 

 Bois, editor of the Bulwtin £>' Apiculteur, France, 



It not only gives the natural history of these in-- 

 dustrious insects, but also a thorough, practical, 

 and clearly expressed series of directions for their 

 management; al^t.i a botanical description of honey 

 producing j>lant.s, and an extended account of the. 

 enemies of hecs,— Dcmucrut, Pulaski, N, V. 



We have perused with great pleasure this i-nde 

 mecamvt tlie bee-keeper. It is replete with the. 

 best information on everything belonging to api- 

 culture. To al taking an interest in this subject, 

 we say. obtain this valuable work, read it carefully" 

 and practice as afivised.—Agriculturint, Quebec. 



This book Is pronounced by the press and leading- 

 bee-men lo be the most complete and practical 

 irearise on bee-culture in Emopeor America: a 

 scieiuitlc wrirk on modern bee management that 

 everv experienced bee roan will welcome, and it is 

 essential to every amateur in bee-culture. It is 

 handsomely printed, neatly hound, and is a credit 

 to the W est.— Wtkltrn AgricuUunst. 



This work is undoubtedly the most complete 

 manual tor the insnuction of bee-keepers which 

 Uiis ever been published. It gives a full explana- 

 tion rcgarduig the care and management of the 

 apiary. There is no subject relating to the culture, 

 of bees Icir untouched, and in the compilation of 

 the work Prof. Cook has had the advantage of all 

 the previous knowlede of apiarists, which he uses, 

 admirably to promote and make popular this most 

 interesting of alloccupaiions.- ji/iicricttji Inventor.
