ZTAZiZAIT QI7ESZTS 



Is my sprcialty. For five years I have been per- 

 fecting a strain of bees as honey-gatherers, unex- 

 celled. I thiok I have something better to offer than 

 the general queen-market affords. I have one 

 stock that, without increase, gave me $34 cash from 

 honey alone, in one season. If you are in need of 

 queens, or wish to improve your stock, please let 

 me supply you. I guarantee satisfaction. You may 

 order now if you please, and pay when queens ar- 

 rive. In May. Untested, each, $1.00; six, $4 50.
