Names of responsible parties will be inserted in 

 any of the following departments, at a uniform 

 price of 20 cents each insertion, or f 3.00 per year. 



$1.00 Queens. 



Names inserted in this department the first time with- 

 out charge. After, 20c each insertion, or $2.00 per year. 



Those whose names appear below agree to furnish 

 Italian queens for $1.00 each, under the following- 

 conditions : No guarantee is to be assumed of purity, 

 or anything of the kind, only that the queen be rear- 

 ed from a choice, pure mother, and had commenced 

 to lay when they were shipped. They also agree to 

 return the mone.y at any time when customers be- 

 come impatient of such delay as may be unavoidable. 



Bear in mind, that he who sends the best queens, 

 put up most neatly and most securely, will probably 

 receive the most orders. Special rates for warrant- 

 ed and tested queens, furnished on application to 

 any of the parties. Names with *, use an imported 

 queen-mother. If the queen arrives dead, notify us 

 and we will send you anothei'. Probably none will 

 be sent for ^1.00 before July Ist, or after Nov. If 

 wanted sooner, or later, see rates in price list.
