22 MANUAL OP THE APIARY. 



another work ; but as some of the most important improve- 

 ments in apiculture are not mentioned, the book alone would 

 be a very unsatisfactory guide to the apiarist of to-day.

quinsy's mysteries op bee-keeping. 



This is a plain, sensible treatise, written by one of Ameri- 

 ca's most successful bee-keepers. It proceeds, I think, on a 

 wrong basis in supposing that those who read bee-books will

This is a compilation of the above works, and has recently 

 been revised, so that it is abreast of the times. It is to be

This work was issued in numbers, but is now complete. It is 

 arranged in the convenient form of our cyclopaedias, is printed 

 in fine style, on beautiful paper, and is to be well illustrated. 

 I need hardly say that the style is pleasing and vigorous. 

 The subject matter will, of course, be fresh, embodying the 

 most recent discoveries and inventions pertaining to bee-

 the type is to be kept in position, so that each new discovery 

 may be added as soon as made. The price is $1.00.

 shows by its able historical chapters, admirable scientific dis- 

 quisitions, and frequent quotations and references to practical 

 and scientific writers on bees and bee-keeping, both ancient 

 and modern, that the writers were men of extensive reading
