LONG-TONGUED QUEENS! 



YARD NO. 1. 



By special arrangements with THE A. I. ROOT 

 CO. to furnish them queens, I have secured their 

 assistance in procuring the finest breeding queens 

 that a thorough knowledge of the bees of the 

 country and money can procure. Among them 

 is a seleci daughter of their $200 queen that they re- 

 fuse to quote me prices on. This queen shows every 

 superior quality of her mother. Her bees show 

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

 gentle, and beautiful to look UDon. 



MR. E. R. ROOT SA VS : "You have as fine 

 bees as there are in the United States ; and with 

 a direct cross of their breeders you should be 

 able to produce queens whose bees show a reach 

 of 25-1 00 of an inch." 



4ES="Send for descriptive price list. 



From recent measurements I find I can war- 

 want all tested and select untested queens to 

 produce bees whose reach is 19-100 with an av- 

 erage reach of 18 100 ; Select tested queens to 

 produce bees whose reach is 20-100, with an av- 

 erage of 19 100. 



Prices: Untested, 81.00; 6, $5.00. Select un- 

 tested, 81.25 ; 6, S6 00. Tested, $1.50; 6, 88.00. Se- 

 lect tested, 82.00 : 6, $11.00

Improved Golden and Leather-colored 

 Italians are what H. G. Quirin Rears. 



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

 CLOVER BREEDERS from their 8200 queen, and a 

 Golden breeder from Doolittle, who says if there is a 

 BREEDER of Golden bees in the United States worth 

 SlOO, this one is worth that sum. The above 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 colony having one of our 

 queens had already stored over -100 pounds of honey 

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

 bees work on RED CL,OVER. as they were the only 

 kind in this locality and apiary. 



A. I. Root's folks .say that our queens are extra fine. 

 While the editor of the American Bee Journal tells us 

 that he has good reports from our queens from time 

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

 monials. After considering above evidence need you 

 wonder why our orders have increased each year? 



Give us a trial order and be pleased. We have years 

 of experience in mailing and rearing queens. Safe 

 delivery will be guaranteed. Instructions for iutro- 

 duciDg with each lot of queens.
