My -Vt i( L' 



Thanking you for past years' patronage, 

 I solicit what 1 may justly merit for the 

 coming season. 1 am led to lielieve tliat 

 the goods I offer, ami my ways of doing 

 business, give at le;ist an average satisfac- 

 tion, from tlie fact tliat my trade has more 

 than doubled every year since I liave dealt 

 in supplies, and that nearly all of my for- 

 mer customers are customers still. True, 

 we have had complaints, butwe have more 

 than 50 testimonials of best satisfaction, 

 to every one such complaint. 



I believe my Hive is growing in popular- 

 ity, to a much greater degree, than is the 

 business of bee-keeping. I am now pre- 

 pared to funiish these hives made up, and 

 In the flat, at very reasonable prices. 



Given Comb Fonudation, after having 

 been thoroughly tested by many of our 

 most experienced, most successful and 

 most extensive bee-keepers, now stands.

 10,000 5X6X:: to spare now. 



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

 condition, :i5i I colonies of bees, of our newstraia, 

 and of pure Italian blood. As most of you are 

 aware, for six vears past I have taken pains to 

 breed my stock furiuarkings of character, or qual- 

 ities, ratber than color, using as a base, the leather 

 colored Italian and brown German bees. 



On reading my Circular, ynu will find 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 combs 

 ^re in eo<id conaition, and our bees have always 

 been free from foul brood. 1 shall endeavor to 

 send out a tirst-ciass line of Full Colonies, Queens.
