FIRE 5ALE 



OF BEE BOOKS! 



On January 1st there was a severe fire in our build- 

 ing, burning out entirely four floors above us. The 

 water that was thrown on the fire came down through 

 our floor damaging our stock of book.«. printing-office, 

 etc. Some of the books were wet s ightly, but enough 

 so that they could hardly be sent out as perfect.

 ing pages of all are perfect, only the covers being a 

 little soiled. Here they are, with prices postpaid :

Some Points. 



We have been extensively producing honey for the 

 last ten >ears, hence know the value of good queens. 

 During all this time we have made a close study of 

 queen-rearing, and now run over .500 nuclei, hence we 

 know how to rear good QUEENS. During the last 

 two years we have spared neither time, money, nor 

 skill in piocuring 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, tested 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 SCO fine queens, and our 

 prices will Ix. : Tested, SI 25 ; select tested, I2.C0 ; 

 breeders, S3. 00 to S5.00 each; untesttd queens, March 

 15, $1 00; after June 1st, 75c. Discounts in quantities, 

 and valuable preminms given away to customers. 

 Your subsciiption piid one year to the Progressive 

 Bee-keeper upon receipt of your first order for ont-half 

 dozen queens. Send a postal for large circu'ar; tells 

 all about ourqueeus, methods, etc.; gives valuable in- 

 formation to every one.
