TEXAS QUEENS 



From the I,one Star Apiaries.

 bought out the queen-

 and increasing their 

 number of nuclei, they are better prepared than ever 

 to cater to the trade of the bee-keeping public. One of 

 Root's Long-tongue Breeders; Imported Stock direct 

 from Italy; Goldens from leading queen-breeders. 

 Fine breeders of each of the above have been added

Try a Few of My Queens. 



For the first time this season I have a few queens 

 ahead of orders. These orders came from all custo- 

 mers who had tried a few queens— some of them doz- 

 ens or hundreds — and liked them. A few from new 

 ones. But as I was pushed with orders I advertised 

 very moderately. Now I have a big lot of nuclei and 

 queens, and can send queens promMly as follows : 

 Warranted queens, 7oc; six for 84.00; one choice select 

 warranted, ^1.00; six for S5.00. Send for free folder.
