Golden Italians. 



165 



For several years past I have tested the various strains and races of 

 bees by obtaining the best queens that money would buy, from all of 

 the leading breeders of the U. S., as well as Europe, and. after careful 

 tests, have found the greatest excellence among certain strains of our 

 American or Golden Italians. By careful selection from these for 

 years, with the ideal characteristics always in view, I have developed 

 my present strain. Among these characteristics are industry, yigor, 

 hardiness, gentleness, superior comb building, disinclination to swarm, 

 beauty, size, etc. The fact that I have constant offers to exchange 

 breeding queens with the foremost queen breeding specialists, at well as 

 receive complimentary remarks from some of our leading profe.' sional 

 bee-keepers, proves that my strain pleases them. My bees possess the 

 above traits which go to make up feal worth, while for color and beauty 

 they are equal to any strain I have ever seen. All queens are fully 

 warranted, both as to purity of stock and general value, witliin reason- 

 able limitations. Should any prove otherwise, they will be promptly 

 replaced gratis. This is a rule I have always followed, and I do not 

 know of a single dissatisfied customer. If you want cheap queens, bet- 

 ter order them elsewhere; but if you want the best, I shall be pleased to 

 fill your order at the following prices : —
