Black and Hybrid Queens For Sale. 



For the benefit of friends who have black or hybrid queens 

 which they wish to dispose of. we will insert notices free of 

 charge, as below. We do this because there is hardly value 

 enough in these queens to pay for buying them up and keep- 

 ing them in stock ; and yet it is oftentimes quite an accommo- 

 dation to those who can not afford higher-priced ones. 



Twenty black and hybrid queens for sa.e. Blacks, 

 25c each, or 5 for $1.00. Hybrids. 30c each, or 4 for 

 $1.00. Albert Hines,
