GOi-,xjJvr3sr. 



My New Langstroth Swe. 



Thanking you for past years' patronage, 

 I solicit what I may justly merit for the 

 coming season. 1 am led to believe that 

 the goods I offer, and my ways of doing 

 business, give at least an average satisfac- 

 tion, from the fact tliat my trade has more 

 than doubled every year since I have dealt 

 in supplies, and that nearly all of my for- 

 mer customers are customers still. True, 

 we have had complaints, but we have more 

 than 50 testimonials of best satisfaction, 

 to every one such complaint. 



I believe my Hive is growing in popular- 

 ity, to a nnieli greater degree, than is the 

 business of bee-keeping. I am now pre- 

 pared to furnish these hives made up, and 

 In the flat, at very reasonable ]irices. 



Given Comb Foundation, after having 

 been thoroughly tested by many of our 

 most experienced, most successful and 

 most extensive bee-keepers, now stands, 

 at least, second to none. 1 have on hand 

 a large and choice stock of pure, domestic 

 wax, together with improved facilities for 

 making an article of that Foundation ex- 

 celled by none. 



Up to this date, J.iti. 1, 1 have not been able to 

 make any contract for any tirst-CIassSections. and 

 I neither use or sell any others. If I offer ynu any 

 for 1884, you will see notice here. I have about 

 10,000 osex-J to spare now. 



"We now bave in winter quarters, in flrst-class 

 condition, 3on colonies of bees, of our newstraio. 

 and of pure Italian blood. As most of you are 

 aware, for six years past I have taken pains to 

 breed my ptock lor markings of character, or qual- 

 ities, rather than color, usin^ as a base, the leather 

 colored Itatian and brown German bees. 



On reading my Circular, you will flnrt some testi- 

 monials from practical bee-keepers (a few saved 

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

 how well I have succeeded. Our hives and cumbs 

 are in eond condition, and our bees have always 

 been free from foul brood. I shall endeavor to 

 send out a Hrst-class line of Full Colonies, Queens. 

 Nuclei and Bees by the pound. Parties wishing to 

 start an apiary, or purchase on a large scale, as 

 well as those who wish the choicest of my stock to 

 breed fn.'m, may do well to correspond with me. 



Among the goods we have to offer, are Standard 

 Langstroth and American Frames in the Hat, a 

 complete line rif Bingham Smokers and Honey 

 Knives, Excelsior Honey Extractors, "Wax Ex- 

 tractors, Plated Wire, for wirinu frames, our new 

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

 Bee Veils, Sample Shipping Crates, Comb Founda- 

 tion Fasteners, Surplus Honey Registers, ourthree 

 styles of Bee Feeders i for which I have numerous 

 testimonials), and various parts of our Hive. 

 STUDENTS OF BEE-CULTURE. 



Those who may wish to spend six months in the 

 theory and practice of Apiculture, may do them- 

 selves a service by writine for terms for 1x84. 



1 send out CIRCULARS to those who solicit 

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

 sure to state whether or not you have my Circular 

 of 1883. 1 believe we have no 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- 

 dress all orders and communications to
