TESTIMONIAL. 



Humboldt, Neb., Aug. 5th, 1900. 

 Mr If. G. Quirin. Dear Sir: — The colony contain- 

 ing the queen you sent me has already stored over 400 

 lbs. of honey (mostly comb) for this season, and will 

 yet store quite a considerable before the season closes. 

 It would take SlOO to buy this queen. I have another 

 one from you which I think will turn out equally as 

 well. Bees from your queens certainly do work on 

 red clover. I can tell, as they are the only bees of 

 their kind in my locality. Hereafter when I want 

 more queens I shall know where to get them. 



Yours truly, J. I,. Gandy. 



At present we have two very valuable breeders 

 which will be used for the coming season. One is a 

 breeder from Root's S200.00 red clover qiieen. Large 

 orders will be shipped from the South during April. 

 We are now booking orders for April. May, and June 

 delivery at the following prices : ^^ii, 



Warranted Stock, Sl.OO each ; 6, $5. CO. 

 Tested Queens, SI.50 each ; 6, $8. GO. 

 Select Tested, $2. GO each ; 6, $1G.5G. 



Whv no't' let us book your order for one or half 

 TT llj' IIUU a dozen of these Superior Queens? 



We guarantee safe delivery. You take no risk. Re- 

 member queen-bees is our specialty in summer time. 

 For a short time we will allow 20 per cent discount 

 on Folding Cartons, and printed stationery. Parker- 

 town is a money-order office, so please do not send 

 stamps if you can help it.

 bees as there are in the United States ; and with 

 a direct criss of their breeders you should be 

 able to produce queens whose bees show a reach 

 of 25-100 of an"inch."
