 all the black bees within 3 miles of my apiary, and I 

 think aU. my queens will be purely mated; all queens

 dering queens, to inform me whether they wish the 

 money returned if the order can not be tilled at once.

AND 



I am overwhelmed with letters asking "which siae 

 smoker is the best?" 



Mr. J. E. Hetherington ordered eight of the large 

 lor his aqyiaries and for coarse fuel they are the best. 



The Standard is what its name implies and consti- 

 tutes the bulk of sales so far. 



The small is a pretty implement answering nicely 

 for a few colonies of bees, and to kill liee on house 

 plants, it is larger, however, than the Improved 

 Quinby. 



The first "Direct Draft" smoker ever sold has been 

 used one year and sold for one dollar as the gentle- 

 man wanted a large size. 



It was a Standard and he paid $2.00 and says "be 

 would not be without one a single day in the sea^ni 

 for the price." 



They go all the time and jfntm sound or rotten wood, 

 txihaero or sulptmr. 



Dirretions srnt with every smoker. 



These snii ikcrs are a necessity in modem bee eultntre, 

 and are iudisptnsahlc in the easy, profitahlc and plea,'>- 

 ani manaiiemrnt of bees in any hive — ancient or mod- 

 ern. Sent bv mail, post paid, on receipt of price.
