THE BEE-KEEPERS' REVIEW. 291 



Superior Stock 



For several years I have been selling a strain of bees that 1 have 

 called the Superior Stock. While I often receive testimonials in re- 

 gard to their superiority, it is very seldom that I publish one. Some- 

 times the temptation is too great to be resisted, and this seems to be 

 one of those occasions. Here it is: —

 Mr. W. Z. Hutchinson, 



Flint, Mich. 

 Dear Sir: 



The tested queen you sent me in 1900 is still pro- 

 lific. Her colony and that of one of her daug^hters, in 

 1901 stored as much honey as ten colonies of h^-brids. 

 It was not a ver}^ good year for honey but there was 

 plent}' of room on the red clover for The Superior Stock. 

 Hybrids iji-leaned a little dark honey from various sources 

 while the Superior Stock stored white honey. The 

 Superior Stock is rightly named. 

 Yours truly, 

 HERMANN E. CROWTHER.

Remember I guarantee safe arrival, safe introduction when di- 

 rections are followed, purity of mating, and entire satisfaction to the 

 extent that the queen may be returned any time within two years, 

 and the money will be refunded, together with 50 els. extra to pay 

 for the trouble. The price of a queen alone is %\ .50, but I will send 

 the Review one year and book your order for one of these queens to 

 be sent next spring, for only $2.00. 



W. Z. HUTCHINSON, 



Flint, Michigan.
