Seeds That Hustle 



Plant Our Northern-Grown Seeds 



They are hardy, vigorous, prolific, 

 and mature quick, because they are 

 grown in our short, northern sum- 

 mers, on new, healthy land. They 

 begin hustling the minute they are in 

 the ground, keep at it, and mature 

 crops while the lazy southern seed is 

 getting started. Our new, 150 page 

 catalog, tells all about them and our 

 Bi^ Cash Club Offer. Mailed free, if 

 ordered quick.

to Keep Bees 



By Anna Botsford Comstock 



228 pages. 32 pages of illustrations. 



A charmingly written manual describing clear- 

 ly and in detail the outfit, first steps, and meth- 

 enls. The author's well-known literary ability 

 has combined with her enthusiasm for a subject 

 to produce a very unusual volume. It is a hand- 

 book for those who keep bees for happiness and 

 honey, and incidentally for money. It serves as 

 well as an introduction to the more extended 

 manuals already in the field. " Finally with all 

 due deference to the authors of the excellent 

 books on bee culture which we have already, my 

 opinion is that this new book, 'How to Keep 

 Bees,' is the best one for a beginner, or one who 

 does not wish or expect to keep more than a 

 dozen colonies, that has yet come before the 

 world." — A. I. Boot, in Gleanings. July 1, 1906. 



Chap. 1. " Why Keep Bees," urges honey, per- 

 haps money, recreation, love of nature study, 

 and the need of bees in " a perfect garden," as 

 good reasons for keeping bees. The second 

 chapter tells " how to begin " in a small way, 

 and we may get all the necessary detailed in- 

 formation for management from later chapters, 

 arranged in order of demand for information.
