 depredations of insect pests and fungus diseases is no 

 longer an experiment but a necessity.

 of Spraying Outfits and full treatise on spraying the

Some Points. 



We have been extensively producing honey for the 

 last ten vears, hence know the value of good queens. 

 During all this time we have made a close study of 

 queen-rearing, and now run over.5(X) nuclei, hence we 

 know how to rear good QUEENS. During the last 

 two years we have spared neither time, money, or 

 skill in procuring and breeding up our strains of 

 bees. We have bought queens from almost all who 

 have claimed to have superior stock. We hav« taken 

 them, te.-ted them, and crossed them to each other 

 and to our already fine .stock of bees, and we now 

 have the finest strains in the United States. WE 

 GUARANTEE ALL QUEENS to be large, prolific, 

 and well developed, to give entire satisfaction, and to 

 arrive at your postoffice in good shape. 



We have wintered over 800 fine queens, and our 

 prices will be : Tested, 81.25 ; select tested, 82.C0 ; 

 breeders, 83.00 to $5.00 each; untested queens, March 

 15, $1.00; after June 1st, 75c. Discounts in quantities, 

 and valuable preminms given away to customers. 

 Send a postal for large circular; tells all about our 

 q<ieens, methods, etc.; gives valuable information to 

 every one.
