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 as be- 

 low, first insertion free of charge. After the first, 10c per 

 line. We do this because there is hardly value enough in 

 these queens to pay for buying them up and keeping them 

 in stock; and yet it is oftentimes quite an accommdation to 

 those who can not afford higher-priced ones. 



I have got 4 hybrid queens, good ones, that I will 

 mail to any one for 25 cts. each, any time before the 

 first of September. Speak quick,
