The Country- Place is No Longer 

 Complete Without the Greenhouse 



THE greenhouse has become indispensable for the supplying 

 of cut-flowers and vegetable delicacies for the city-house in 

 the winter season. The accompanying illustration shows a 

 house comprising palm-house, rose-house, general plant house, and 

 large vegetable-house, in which may be grown out-of-season vege- 

 tables and appetizing table-delicacies. Now is the time to talk 

 over and decide on a greenhouse — that is, if you want it to yield 

 its wealth of cut- flowers and out-of-season vegetables during the 

 coming winter. 



We build either the plain working-proposition or the orna- 

 mental but practical houses that give distinction to your grounds. 

 We should like to talk these matters over with you, or a line 

 would bring our representative.

 BEE-BOOK 



SUCH a handsome cover in gray and lemon yellow! Here's a 

 halftone cut of it. The inside matter is absorbingly interesting 

 from the hive on title-page to the commutation ticket on 

 page thirty-two. It gives pictures of Mr. A. I. Root in 1S65, in 



1873 and in 1905. Also productions 

 of Gleanings in Bee-Culture when it 

 was first started, in 1873 (Vol. I, No. 

 4), and a recent 1906 number. The 

 book is full of pictures. Its title is 

 "Bee-Line to Profit." The book- 

 let gives dozens of reasons why 

 \ bee-keepers or other persons who 



love bees and honey should sub- 

 .\ scribe to 



Gleanings in 

 Bee -Culture 



The eleven editors, headed 

 by A. I. Root and E. R. 

 \ Root have each a page devoted 

 to his picture and a short biog- 

 raphy and description of his 

 department. These editors 

 make the strongest battery of writers on bees and honey to be 

 found anywhere. 



This 32-page book should be in your hands. It's free. It will 

 be promptly sent on receipt of your request. A postal will do.
