Queens That "Are Better"- Italians & Banats

 Select Breeders from Full Colonies, $3.00 each. 



Wholesale price of Queens — ."1 dozen or more in one order, deduct -JMc per dozen. 



After July 1st I am going to make a special introductory price for Breeder 

 Queens that were reared early in spring, and have served me in building up popu- 

 lous colonies, and thereby having fully demonstrated their value. One colony of 

 my Banats has given this season 'll'l pounds of surplus bulk and extracted honey. 

 Some of my Italians were as populous, and might have given as much surplus 

 had they been in as good location. Breeder Queens, $3.00 each ; one dozen or 

 more in one order, deduct 2-3C each. 



One-frame Nuclei, with Untested Queen, $2.00 each ; 2-fr., $3.00 ; 3-fr., $4.00. 



Full colonies, 10-fr., $7.il0. Add 50c if Tested Queens are wanted ; add $2.00 

 each if Breeder Queens are wanted. 



Twenty or more Colonies or Nuclei in one order, deduct 25c each. 



I have six different yards several miles apart, and am prepared to fill or- 

 ders promptly. I solicit your trade and guarantee you satisfaction.

50,000 Copies "Honey as a Health-Food" 

 To Help Increase the Demand for Honey 



We have had printed an edition of over 50.000 copies of the ]6-pag:e pamphlet on 

 Honey as a Health-Food." It is envelope size, and just the thing to create a local demand 

 for honey. 



The first part of it contains a short article on " Honey as Food," written by Dr. C. C. 

 Miller. It tells where to keep honey, how to liquefy it, etc. The last is devoted to "Honey 

 Cooking Recipes " and "Remedies Using Honey." It should be widely circulated by those 

 selling honey. The more the people are educated on the value and uses of honey as a food, 

 the more honey they will buy. 



Prices, prepaid— Sample copy for a 2-cent stamp : 50 copies for 90 cents ; 100 copies for 

 $1.50: 250 copies for $3.00; 500 for $5.00; or 1000 for $9.00. Your business card printed free at the 

 bottom of front page on all orders for 100 or more copies.
