YOU TALK WITH YOUR 

 ARCHITECT 



DESIGNED BY DON BARBER 



about this greenhouse question and let him transact all the 

 business with us as greenhouse manufacturers and builders; it 

 means one less party to do business with, and still you are 

 certain of having the best possible house from an established, 

 time-tried firm which, although equipped with its own design- 

 ing force, always stands ready to co-operate with the architect. 



Our little booklet, "How to Get Started With a Snug 

 Little Greenhouse," which we send for five cents in stamps, is 

 greenhouse information in homeopathic doses. Send for it.

 BEE-BOOK 



SUCH a handsome cover in gTay 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 



[873 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 win- 

 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.
