The Best Stock. 



I have had 18 years' experience in the production of 

 honey, and during that time I have always tried to 

 improve my stock by buying queens from breeders 

 who breed for honey-gathering instead of color; then, 

 by crossing these different strains, and selecting the 

 best, and breeding from them, I have secured a strain 

 of stock that is the equal of any for honey-gathering. 

 I have a queen from the stock of J. F. Mclntj^re that 

 filled supers when other stocks were starving. This 

 year I am breeding from a daughter of Root's famous 

 $200 queen, and from the stock of J. P Moore. War- 

 ranted queens, in any quantity, will be sold at 55 cts. 

 each, and satisfaction will be guaranteed in every 

 case, or money will be refunded.
