Black and Hybrid Queens For Sale, 



For the benefit of friends who have black or hybrid queens 

 which they want to dispose of, we will insert notices free ol 

 charge, as below. We do this because there is hardly value 

 enough to these queens to pay for buying them up and keep- 

 ing tnem in stock; and yet it is oftentimes quite an accommo- 

 dation to those who can not afford higher-priced ones. 



I have about 10 hybrid queens which I aim to su- 

 persede. Send me a queen-cage and I will send you 

 a queen at market price, less price of cage, till they 

 are gone. J. W. Key, Willow City, Tex.

VIRGIN QUEENS. 



The bulk of the traffic in queens in the near fu- 

 ture will probably be in " Virgins." Every per- 

 son sending direct to the office of the Canadian 

 He.e Journal one dollar for one year's subscription 

 (cither renewal or new), in advance, will receive a 

 beautiful virgin queen (value 60 cents), as soon as 

 possible, in the season of 1889. Queens will be sent 

 in the same rotation as each is received. American 

 currency, stamps, and money orders received at 

 par. THE D. A. JONES CO., BEETON, ONTARIO, CAN.
