OPINIONS OF EMINENT APIARISTS 
AND THE PRESS. 
Professor A. J. Cook, of the Michigan Agricultural Col¬ 
lege and Author of the “ Manual of the Apiary." writes to 
Mr. Root: I have read it (Quinby’s New Bee-Keeping) with 
much genuine pleasure. Surely the mantle of common 
sense, practical, plain and simple style of expression did not 
leave your family with Mr. Quinby. I rejoice in the book, 
and only have praise for it. 
Captain J. E. Hetherington, of Cherry Valley, New 
York, writes : I do not hesitate to pronounce it the best 
practical work on the subject published, and shall do all I 
can to promote the sale of it. 
P. H. Elwood, of Starkville, New York, writes : I had ex¬ 
pected a good book, but It far surpasses my expectations. 
G M. Doolittle, of Borodino, New York, writes: I con¬ 
sider it the most practical work on bees extant. It certain¬ 
ly should find a place in the home of every bee-keeper in 
the land. 
Students of entomology, as well as practical bee-keepers, 
will find a rich store of information in its-pages, which form 
a convenient working manual not only of most recent date, 
but of high authority.— New York Tribune. 
It seems to cover pretty much all the ground in apicul¬ 
ture.— Prairie Farmer, Chicago. 
Over 100 illustrations explain the methods of growing 
bees, removing honey, destroying the enemies of bees, etc., 
in connection with a copious text.— New York Times. 
It Is without any qualification the most complete and best 
text-book upon bee-culture.— Zions Herald, Boston, Mass. 
It gives a lucid and popular explanation of bee-keeping, 
and is well worthy of a perusal by all who are interested in 
the subject.— Sural New Yorker. 
The work is as nearly complete as the present state of the 
knowledge of the subject will permit. The value of the 
hook is greatly enhanced by excellent Illustrations, cm- 
bracing everything pertaining to the subject where a pic¬ 
ture can give aid to a clear understanding of the text.— 
Husbandman, Elmira, N. Y. 
The volume seems to be a complete manual for honey- 
raisers. It would be of interest to the naturalist as well as 
to the bee-keeper.— Cincinnati Commercial. 
Mr. Root is well known as a successful apiarian. The 
book is exactly what it claims to he, “ a complete guide to 
successful bee-culture.”— New York Herald. 
It forms a valuable manual for those engaged in bee¬ 
keeping.— Boston Evening Traveller. 
Novice and expert are furnished not onlv with results 
gained by practical experience during the last half century, 
but with latest discoveries and inventions and most ap¬ 
proved methods in advanced bee-keeping.— New York World, 
The authors have reduced the handling of bees to a 
science, and the means to that end are set forth in a beauti¬ 
fully clear manner in the pages of this book. There are 
thousands of country families who only lack the knowledge 
to gather their share of the tons of honey that annually go 
to wast e.—Hartford Courant. 
Like all works published by the Orange Judd Company, it 
is in the best style, printed on stout tinted paper, tastefully 
bound in cloth, and handsomely illustrated. All that is 
known and of value of late improvements to bee-keepers is 
contained in this volume.— Kansas Farmer. 
The book is appropriately illustrated, the whole is neat 
and compact, and furnishes the bee-keeper just the informa¬ 
tion he needs on the many points connected with bee 
management,— Country Gentleman 
The book will be invaluable to bee-keepers. In all re¬ 
spects, it is one of the most valuable works ever issued on 
the subject.— Indiana Farmer. 
Mr. Quinby for a quarter of a century stood at the head 
of the nation as a practical, scientific, and successful bee. 
culturist. This new publication will take the inexperienced 
through the lessons from A to Z, and makes everything so 
plain that he who attempts to follow need not make a 
mistal e. It is a complete guide, and contains 270 pages, 
printed on fine tinted paper, and contains a large number 
of plate Illustrations.— Agriculturist, Louisville. Ey.
