NOW READY. 



LONG-TONGUED QUEENS! 



YARD NO. I. 



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 select daughter of their $200 qtieen 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 upon. 



MR. E. R. ROOT S A YS : " 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 25-100 of an inch."
