By special arrangenien's with THE A I. ROO 1" 

 CO. to furnish them queens, I have secured their 

 assistance in procunngthe finest breedingqueens 

 that a thorough knoAfledge of the bets of the 

 count' y and nionev can procure. Among them 

 is a sel/'c/ daugk/er of their $200 queen that they re- 

 fuse to quote vie prices on. Thi-qucen .showsevery 

 superior quality ol her mother. Htr bees show 

 an actual reach of 21-100 of an inch; are large, 

 gentle, and beautiful to 'ook noon. 



MR E. R ROOT SA YS : " Yo 1 have as fine 

 bees as there art- in the United .States ; and with 

 a direct cross of their breeders jou should be 

 able to produce queens whose bees show a reach 

 of 2.5-lOU of an inch."

QUEIRMB? 



Improved Golden and Leather-colored 

 Italians are what H. G. Quirin Rears. 



We have one of Root's best long-tongued REU- 

 CLOVER BREEDERS from their S200 queen, and a 

 Goldeti breeder from Doolittle, who savs if there is a 

 BREEDER of Golden bees in the United States worth 

 $100 thisooe is worth that sum. The aboi^e breeders 

 have been added to our already improved strain of 

 queens for the coming season. 



J. L,. Gandy, of Humboldt, Neb., wrote us on Aug. 

 5th, 1900, saying that the col my having one of our 

 queens had already stored over 400 pounds of honey 

 (mostly comb). He states that he is certain that our 

 bees work on RED CI,OVER as they were the only 

 kind in this loolity and apiiry. 



A. I. Root's folks say thit our quef>ns are extra fine. 

 While the editor of the Ameiican Bee Journal tells us 

 that he has good reports from our queens from time 

 to time. We have files upon files of unsolicited testi- 

 motiials. After considering above evidence need you 

 wonder why our orders have increased each year? 



Give us a trial order and be pleased. We h ive years 

 of e.xperience in mailing atid rearing queens. Sife 

 delivery will be guaranteed Instructions for intro- 

 duciog with each lot of queens.
