My New Langstroth Hive. 

 '■'ThaukiiiK you tor past years' patronaae, 

 1 solicit wliat I may justly merit for tlie 

 comiun season. 1 am led to believe that 

 the yooils I offer, aud my ways of doinn 

 business, S've at least an average satisfac- 

 tion, from tlie fact that my trade has moie 

 than doubled every year siuce I have dealt 

 in supiilies, and that nearly all of my for- 

 mer custonifr> art' custiiMiers still. True, 

 we have luid enuiplaiuts, but we have more 

 tliau 50 testimonials of best satisfaction, 

 to every one such complaint. 



Ibelieve my Hive is fjrowingin popular- 

 ity, to a much greater degree, than is the 

 business of bee-keeping. I am nuw pre- 

 pared to furnish these hives made up, aud 

 lu the flat, at very reasonable prices. 



Given Comb Foundation, after having 

 been thoroughly tested by many of our 

 most experienced, most successful and 

 most extensive bee-keeijers, now stands, 

 at least, second to none. 1 have on hand 

 a large and clioice stock of pure, domestic 

 wax, together with improved facilities for 

 making an article of tliat Foundation ex- 

 celled bv luuie. 



Up to this date, Jan. 1,1 have not been able tn 

 miike any contract fur any flr»t-cIft8sSectionp. and 

 I neittier use or »en anv (-ther.s. If I offer you any 

 for 1884, you will see notice liere. I liave about 

 10,000 5x6x2 to spare now. 



We now have in winter quarters, in flrst-clasg 

 condition, a-'iii colonies of bees, of our new strain, 

 and of pure Italian blood. As most of you are 

 aware, fur six years past 1 have taken pains t'» 

 breed my stock for niarkinns of characti^r, or qual- 

 ities, rather than color, usinR as a base, the leather 

 colored Italian and brown German bees. 



On reading my Circular, you will tlnd some testi- 

 monials fri'in practical bee-kc-epers (.a lew saved 

 from many received), that will give you an idea of 

 how well I have succeeded. Our hives and combs 

 are in goud comiition, and our bees have always 

 been free from foul brood. I shall endeavor to 

 send out a tlrst-class line nf Full Cnloniew, Queens, 

 Nuclei and Bees by the pound. Parties wishing to 

 Btart an ai)iarv, <ir imrchase on a large scale, as 

 well as those who wish the choicest of my stock to 

 breed from, may do well to correspond with me. 



Among the goods we have to ofler, are Standard 

 LangRtroth and American Frames in the flat, a 

 complete line of Bingham Smokers and Honey 

 Knives, Excelfior Honey Extractor;-. "Wax Ex- 

 tractors, Plated Wire, for wiring frames, our new 

 style Nucleus Hives, both made up and in the flat. 

 Bee Veils, Sample Shippins Crates. Comb Kounda- 

 tion Fasteners. Surplus Honey Registers, ourthree 

 styles of Bee Feeders < for which 1 have numerous 

 testimonials), and various parts of our Hive. 

 STUDENTS OF BEE-CULT0RE. 



Those who may wish to spend six months in the 

 theory and practice of Apiculture, may do them- 

 selves a service by writin:i for terms lor i ^^4. 



I send out CIRCULAItS to those who solicit 

 them, only, and when ordering, will you please be 

 euTe to state whether or not you have my Circular 

 of 1883. 1 believe we have uo patent on anything 

 we make, use, or sell, except Bingham smoker and 

 knife. 



As in the past, we shall do our best to satisfy the 

 reasonable, and deal out exact justice to all. Ad-
