As Bread l8 the Staff of I.ire, so is 



judicious advertising the staff of business I 

 You may as reasonably expect one " good 

 square meal " to sulHce for three months, as 

 to expect one advertisement to bring in 

 business for that length of time I Many 

 persons cannot remember anything longer 

 than about seven days. To stop advertising 

 in a dull season, is like tearing out a dam 

 because the water is low— either plan can 

 but result in disaster. 



Enterprising queen-breeders and supply- 

 dealers know the value of advertising " all 

 the year round." Persistently keepingtheir 

 name and business continuously before 

 buyers, will eventually place them on the 

 successful side, if they have a valuable 

 article to sell. 



A "sign" is a mute invitation to those 

 who may pass a man's place of business ; a 

 "circular" will only reach the one to whom 

 it is personally addressed ; but an " adver- 

 tisement "in a well-conducted and widely- 

 circulated paper (like the American Bee 

 Journal) has an influence " far and wide;" 

 it finds customers and almost compels them 

 to consider the claims of the wide-awake 

 advertiser. To yearly advertisers the 

 A.MERic.tN Bee Journal offers special in- 

 ducements. This is just the time to make a 

 contract for the year 1887. 



We Keep this Notice standing all the 

 year round : " Always give the name of the 

 PostoBice to which your paper is addressed. 

 Tourname cannot be found on our list un- 

 less this is done," and yet many ask us to 

 change their address without even mention- 

 ing to what Postoliice it has heretofore been 

 sent. It often costs us more to find their 

 old address than they pay for the Bee Jour- 

 nal for a year ; as we may have to examine 

 our subscription lists in every State, Prov- 

 ince and Territory in North America. Please 

 be more careful in the future, and never 

 omit your name, Postofiice, county and 

 State. 



One Dollar invested tor the weekly visits 

 of the American Bee Journal for 1887, 

 will richly repay every apiarist In America.

HONEY PLANT. 



Having expended thousands of dollars in 

 bringing before the people one of the most 

 wonderful honey-producing plants known 

 in the United States, or even in the world, 

 and testing it honestly and fairly, wish to 

 say through your valuable Journal that 

 the seed contains so much oil that nothing 

 but fresh seed will grow, or by thrashing, if 

 the seed is bruised or broken, it will not 

 grow for this reason. And by the advice of 

 many prominent bee-keepers, I have de- 

 cided to sell the limited amount of seed I 

 have raised this season at the following 

 prices, and will send to those Iwho have 

 already ordered the amount of seed due 

 them at this low price: One-half ounce 30 

 cents ; 1 ounce, $1 ; 2 ounces, $1..30 : 4 

 ounces, $2 ; "» pound, $3 ; 1 pound. So. One 

 pound of seed is sufflcient for half an acre, 

 if properly thinned out and re-set. Write all 

 orders plainly, and give your post-olHce in 

 full. H. CHAPMAN,
