GLEANINGS IN BEE CULTURE 



Apr. 1 



Golden or 5=banded; 3=band Italians. 



Some Points. 



We have been extensively producing honey for the 

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

 During all this time we have made a close study of 

 queeu-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 procuring and breeding up our strains of 

 bses. We hive bought qut-ens from almo.st all who 

 have claimed to have superior slock. We have taken 

 them, te.-ted them, and cros'ied them to each other 

 and to our already fine slock of btes, and we now 

 have the finest strains in the United States. WE 

 GU.ARANTEE AI^U 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 8f0 fine queens, and our 

 prices will be: Tested, 8125; select tested. 82 00; 

 breeders, SS 00 to S5.00 each; untested queens, March 

 15, $1 00; afier June l>t. 75c. Discounts in quantities, 

 and valuable premiums given away to customers. 

 Your subscription p^id one year to the Progressive 

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

 dozen iiueens. Send a po'-tal for large circu'ar; tells 

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

 formation to every one.
