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

 the Apiary, eiiliuced and elegantly illustrated. 

 The first edition of 3,000 copies was exhausted In 

 about 18 months — a sale unprecedeHtcd in the 

 annals of bee-culture. This new work has been 

 produced with great care, patient study and per- 

 sistent research. It comprises a full delineation 

 of the anatomy and physiology of the honey bee, 

 illustrated with many costly wood engravings — 

 the products of the Honey Bee ; the races of bees; 

 full desccriptions of honey-producing plants.trees, 

 shrubs, etc.splendidly illustrated— and laat.though 

 not least, detailed instructions for the various 

 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 tlu follo^tnng opinions of the Book; 



All agree that It Is the work of a master and of 

 real value.— i-'Jp^icuIture, Paris. 



1 think Cook's Manual is the best of our Ameri- 

 can works.— LiEwis T. Colby. 



It appears to have cut the ground from under 

 future bouk-makers.— Bri(is/i Bee JsurnaL 



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

 stant guide in my uiK'ratiuns and successful man- 

 agement of the «pimy.~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 bock is just what everyone Interested In 

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

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



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

 manualls a necessity. Prof- Cook's Manual is an 

 exhaustive work.— iieraid, 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 tu author.- A. E. Wenzel- 



My success has been so great as to almost aston- 

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

 interested tnlormation contained in Cook's Man- 

 uaJ.— WM. Van Antwerp. M. D 



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

 tbe bee and hives, with their implements. It Is of 

 value to all bec-ralsers.— Jf y. L^ve Stock Record. 



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

 1 have never yet met with a work, either French 

 or foreign, wtiioh I like so much.— L'Abbe DU 

 Bois, editor of the BuUetin D' 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 tlietr 

 management; jil^oa botanical description ot honey 

 produclnK plants, and an extended account of the 

 enemies of hues.— Democrat, Puiuski, N. Y. 



We have perused with great pleasure this vade 

 mecuvi of the bee-keeper. It is replete with the 

 beat information on everything beloceing to api- 

 culture. Toul taking an interest in this subject, 

 we say, obtain this valuable work, read it careiuily 

 and practice as advised.— .4 oricuJfuriit , Quebec. 



This book is pronounced by the press and leading 

 bee-meu to be the most complete and practical 

 treatise on bee-culture in Kuropeor America ; a 

 scienttflc work on mtidem bee management that 

 every experienced bee- man will welcume. and it is 

 essential tu every amateur in bee-culture. It is 

 handyumely printed, neatly bound, and is a credit 

 to the Weai.^WtbtemAgricuUuri^t. 



This work is undoubtedly the most complete 

 manual for the instruction of bee-keepers whieti 

 hafa ever been published. It gives a full explana- 

 tion regarding tiie care and management of the 

 apiary. There is no subject relating to the culture 

 of bees lotr untouched, and in the compilation of 

 the work Prof. Cook has liad the advantage of all 

 tbe previous knowlede of apiarists, which be uses 

 admirably to promote and m:ike popular this must 

 interesting oi alloccupa^-ions.— .^mrrtcan Inventor,
