56 PEARCE METHOD OF BEE-KEEPING 



FOR FIFTY YEARS THE STANDARD 



Sane design and sound workmanship have characterized 

 Root hives and Root bee supplies during the long period 

 they have been on the market. 



The superiority maintained by careful attention to the 

 needs of the craft has made the name Root the sterling 

 mark in world-wide apiculture. 



Root hives are as good as they can be made. Root 

 smokers stand the tests. Root foundation delights the 

 bees. Root automatic extractors are supreme. This same 

 distinguishing mark of quaUty runs through the entire-Boot 

 product, a product as broad as the science of beekeeping 

 itself.
