We are now making a specialty of rearing flue 

 Italian queens. All queens are bred from the purest 

 and best oi' mothers, and the cells built in full colo- 

 nies. We have one of A. I. Root's very best, select- 

 ed, tested, imported queens, also quite a number of 

 very superior home-bred queens from the apiary of 

 "Cyula Linswik." Besides this we have our own 

 original stock which was built up from Dadant Im- 

 ported stock and from queens obtained from several 

 of our best breeders. We arc not trying to see how 

 cheaply we can rear queens, but how yood ones we 

 can furnish. No queens will be sent out that would 

 I not be used in the home apiary. Single queen, $1.00; 

 si.v for $5.IHI; twclxcor more, 75 cts. each. Tested 

 queens, $2.00 eacli. Kii II colonies, $5.00 each. Make 

 money orders pa^ able at Flint. Address
