 Select Breeders from Full Colonies, $3.00 each. 



Wholesale piace of Queens — .5 dozen or more in one order, deduct 50c 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 212 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.jc each. 



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



Full colonies, 10-fr., $7.00. 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.
