scientist establishes principles or deduces conclusions. The 

 work is wonderfully free from errors, and, had the science 

 and practice of apiculture remained stationary, there would 

 have been little need of another work; we are happy to 

 state, however, that this work is now revised by no less 

 able authorities than Dadant & Son, which places it high 

 among our bee books of to-day^ Price $2.00. 



^uinbys Mysteries of Bee-Keefing. — This is a plain, 

 sensible treatise, written by one of America's most success- 

 ful bee-keepers. The work has been revised by L. C. 

 Root, who has fully maintained its excellent character. 

 The admirable style and eminent practicality of this work 

 have lost nothing in the revision. Mr. Root is the son-in- 

 law of the late Mr. Quinby, and was fully advised of the 

 latest views and discoveries of the great bee-keeper. To 

 these he has added the i-ich results of his own experience, 

 as well as the latest discoveries and methods of the most 

 progressive apiarists. Price $1.50. 



K lug's Text-book. — This work is plain, and, owing to 

 its small size and cheapness, has had, certainly, next to 

 Lan2;stroth's work, the largest sale of any book of its kind 

 in the country. It has been, therefore, especially in former 

 years, one of the first agencies in developing and further- 

 ing the interests of bee-keepers. It is not so full as my 

 own work, Langstroth's, Quinby's, or the " A B C of Bee 

 Culture," but is a good compendium of the art of bee- 

 keeping. Price $1.00. 



A B C of Bee- Culture.— ■T\\\% work is by the editor of 

 Gleaning sin Bee Culture. It is arranged in the convenient 

 form of our cyclopedias, is printed in fine style, on beauti- 

 ful paper, and is very fully illustrated. I need hardly say 

 that the style is pleasing and vigorous. The subject matter 

 is fresh, and embodies the most recent discoveries and 

 inventions pertaining to bee-keeping. That it may be 

 kept abreast of apiarian progress, the type is to be kept in 

 position, so that each new discovery may be added as soon 

 as made. Price $1.25. 



Bees and Honey, — This work is by the editor of the 

 American Bee Journal. It is small, but contains an epi- 

 tome of the science and art of bee-culture. Like all of the
