GLEANINGS IN BEE CULTURE. 



61 



it "O'lt-edged stock seed." The California-growu 

 seed which we have been selling for a year pasi is far 

 in advance of most of that on the market ; but still it 

 is not up to what we have just been writing and talk- 

 ing about, .'■eed saved from carefully selected heads or 

 plants. Eugtiie Davis has none to spare, and friend 

 Slack says in closing that what little he has is tiot for 

 sale. We have about li ounces left, sent us by Mr. Da- 

 vis ; and while it lasts we will let those have it, who 

 wish, in five cent packets, putting only a few seeds in 

 each. When you order, just say you want a packet of 

 that " gild-edged stock seed." Vou can, from this lit- 

 tle packet, glow quite a good lot of seed during the 

 coming year. As friend Slack seems to know better 

 than anybody else exnctly what is wanted, I suggest 

 that he go rigtit to work and grow seed enough so he 

 can offer it for sale next fall. 



A VISIT TO FLORIDA. 



Providence permitting, some time during the month 

 of February I shall make a hurried trip to Florida ; 

 and those of ( ur readers who would like to have me 

 make a brief call on them can drop me a postal. I can 

 not prorai-e to see all of you, but I will arrange my 

 trip so as to take in as many as possible. I am plan- 

 ning to start about Feb. 1. — A. I. R.

HONEY QUEENS!! 



I have them, as daily letters te tify. Recent conclu- 

 sions force the belief that the leather-colored strain 

 of three-banders excels in honey-gathering. If you 

 want Goldens my .strain takes the lead ot all others, 

 and I have tried them all; 2.50 colonies for honey, and 

 200 strong nuclei that will winter over. I am prepared 

 to send you a queen any day vou may order. Tested 

 or untested qucrens, SI. CO. L,eather breeders, S2 50. 

 Owing to increased demand straight 5-band breeders 

 are $5.00 each. W. H. LAWS, Beeville, Texas.
