 me two more queens by return mail. I prefer your 

 bees to any that I have seen." Other beemen say 

 equally good things of them. See ad. for Feb. I'^t as 

 to my breeders. I can serve you promptly with Doo-

 you need early queens it will pay you to write me.

ERMUDA 



With cable communication and equable win- 

 ter temperature of 70 degrees, is reached in 

 48 hours from New York by the elegant 

 steamers of the Quebec Steamship Compa- 

 ny, sailing every ten days up to January, 

 and then every five days. The situation of 

 these islands — south of the Gulf Stream — 

 renders 



FROST UNKNOWN, 



and the porous coral formation prevents ma- 

 laria. The Quebec Steamship Company 

 also despatches highest class passenger 

 steamers every ten days for ST. THOMAS, 

 SANTA CRUZ, ST. KITTS, ANTIGUA, 

 GUADALOUPE, DOMINICA, MARTIN- 

 IQUE, ST. LUCIA, BARBADOS, DEM- 

 ERARA, and the principal WEST INDIA 

 ISLANDS, affording a charming tropical 

 trip at a cost of about $4 a day. For de- 

 scriptive pamphlets, dates of sailing and 

 passages, apply to
