New Goods in Root's Catalog 



for 1903. 



Tjhe "A" Bottom-board. This is some- 

 tliiiii; entirely new tlii-^ season. It consists of a'i'g- 

 inch rim with a tilting floor-board, allowing an 

 a<ljiistnient of depth of entrance to suit season or 

 individual preference of user. This bottom will 

 also be found very valuable for cellar-wintering, 

 and for moving bees there is nothing equals it for 

 convenience and safety. Mr. K. A Salisbury, Syra- 

 cuse. N. Y.. a bee-keeper and stipply-dealer of over 25 

 years' experience, says: "The new-style 'A' l)oltom 

 can ;/()/ Pc brat. We put up one, and it is the thing." 



C/Je German Wax^press. This we've 

 inipioved since a year ago, placing a heavy oak 

 cross-arm above in place of cover-plates. We be- 

 lieve it is perfect in construction. 



C/ie Cornell SmoKer for' 190;^ has a new 

 nozzle which is not inclined to topple over at the 

 most inopportune time; 

 this nozzle is supplied 

 with wire-coil handle. 

 The bellows is bound 

 with projected metal 

 bindiufis which protect 

 the leather, strengthen 

 the bellows-boards, pre- 

 vent warping of same, 

 and form a very con- 

 venient hold in operat- 

 ing the smokers. The 

 general plan is the 

 same as heretofore, but 

 these added improve- 

 ments make it much 

 superior to any thing 

 we have formerly sup- 

 plied. Jlade in three 

 sizes. Prices : Jumbo, 

 fl.2j; Standard, Soc; Junior, (ioc. Postage, 25c extra. 



iStiper iSpric^gfs. The supers sent out this 

 season will contain removable springs instead of 

 the stationary springs as formerly supplied. 



Vesti-vitxs SmoKer. This is the name of 

 the new smoker we are pre- 

 pared to furnish this year, 

 which is entirely different 

 from any thing we have 

 heretofore offered. It is a 

 breech - loading hot - blast, 

 with a removable grate at- 

 tached to cover. The nozzle 

 of this smoker is fastened 

 permanently to barrel This 

 has the same metal binding 

 as the new C irneil. Price

Brass iS m o K e r s . 



We can supply the Corneil, 

 Vesuvius, and the large-size 

 Bingham smokers with 

 brass stoves at 25c each extra 



OtKer Goo<ls. We are always on the look- 

 out for improvements in bee-keepers' supplies, etc.. 

 and will introduce such as soon as we are satisfied of 

 their superiority over the ones now in use. 



>Vgfencies carrying a stock of our hives, etc., 

 will he supplied with these improvements in time 

 for this season's trade. If not posted as to where you 

 can buy our supplies advantageously, write us. 



Ne'w Eaition. With the 

 beginning of the new year we an- 

 nounce the revision of the A B C of 

 Bee Culture, which is not only re- 

 vised inside but has a new dress as 

 well. The 190o edition marks the 

 S)th thousand. While the book is, 

 in the true sense, an A B C of bee 

 culture, in that it is adapted to the 

 requirements of beginners, it is 

 also a comprehensive X Y Z of the 

 subject, and no veterin can afford 

 to be without it. $1.20, postpaid.
