The annual meeting- of the Connecticut Bee-keepers' 

 Association will be held in the State Capitol, Hartford, 

 room 50, April 6, 1907. Interest in bee culture has 

 been given an impetus through the recent effort to se- 

 cure good foul-brood legislation, and this meeting will 

 not only give every bee-keeper in the State an op- 

 portunity to increase his knowledge of be s and their 

 diseases, but an interesting program has been prepar- 

 ed touching many other important phases of the 

 science of apiculture. A cordial invitation is extend- 

 ed to both ladies and gentlemen. Please bring choice 

 samples of honey, or any thing of an apiarian nature, 

 for the honey exhibit. J. Arthur Smith, Sec'y.

The attention of bee-keepers in the Canadian prov- 

 inces is directed to the announcement of E. Grainger 

 & Co., Deer Park, Toronto, Ontario, which is found on 

 page 369 of this issue. To avoid the delays so often 

 experienced it is important that bee-keepers living in 

 remote points should send in their specifications to 

 Messrs. Grainger & Co. early in order that goods 

 which are required from the factory may be obtained 

 in ample time for the use intended. So often goods 

 are delayed in the custom-house between the United 

 States and Canada that this makes it the more neces- 

 sary that Canadian orders be sent early to the dealer 

 who is getting his supplies in the United States.

REMOVAL OF NEW YORK CITY OFFICE. 



We have rented new quarters for our New York of- 

 fice, which we will occupy after Av>ril I. We have 

 some stock in our present location which we will sell 

 at a special discount rather than move it to the new 

 warehouse in Hoboken, N. J. We have 300 ten-frame 

 bodies packed with molded top-bar frames; about 

 200 Danz. hives packed with gable covers, and sixty 

 dozen one-quart Mason jars. If interested, write to 

 New York address, stating how many you could use, 

 and get best price. Will sell at about 10 per cent off 

 regular prices. 



BEESWAX ADVANCED. 



We advance our prices on beeswax to 31 cts. cash, 

 33 cts. trade, for average wax delivered here or at our 

 branch houses. A branch house is one operated in 

 the name of The A. I. Root Co. A general agent han- 

 dling our goods in car lots is not a branch house; and 

 if you ship to any such, you had better make arrange- 

 ments beforehand as to what price you are to receive. 

 We can not make prices for such general agents, and 

 you can not hold them to our quotations. We men- 

 tion this because several have complained to us that 

 they did'not receive our advertised quotation when no 

 bargain was made in advance.
