Strong Testimony in Favor of 



Moore's Strain of Italians 



Prof. Frank Benton, of Washington, D. C, whose 

 name is familiar to all progressive apiarists, says : 



"I have several times, in the course of correspon- 

 dence, and in conversing with bee-keepers, had occa- 

 sion to answer the question : ' Where can the best Ital- 

 ians be got? ' It is, perhaps, not an easy thing to say, 

 with certainty, but at least I have felt I might be able 

 to tell where GOOD ones could be obtained. A num- 

 ber have been referred to you, for, although I have 

 not tested your stock personally, I thought I knew 

 pretty well, from general reputation, its character. A 

 beekeeper near here — Mr. Geo. A. Lanphear, of Vien- 

 na, Va. — who got some queens of j-ou on my recom- 

 mendation is so well pleased with them — in fact, 

 f:ives your bees such a good recommendation to me 

 or gentleness and working qualities, particularly 

 their working on red clover, that I thought I would 

 like to try some myself." 



I was not aware that Prof Benton was recommend- 

 ing my stock until I received the above letter. Such 

 testimony as this certainly has great weight, and 

 shows why my business has grown so fast.
