INVESTMENTS 

 SOUTHERN LANDS. 



Such ittTestments are not speculative. The 

 South is not a new country. Market and ship- 

 ping facilities are adequate and first-class. The 

 climate is mild and favorable. Notwithstand- 

 ing- these and other advantages, Southern lands 

 are selling for prices far below their real value, 

 and at present prices net large returns on the 

 investment. For a free set of circulars, Nos.

Dear Sirs:— I thought I would write 

 you a few lines in regard to the Red 

 (.'lover Queen I got from you. They 

 haven't swarmed yet this summer, but I 

 have taken 48 sections from them and 

 there is •l\ more all ready to come off. 



.lust think. 72 nice sections of as nice 

 honey as ever was made, and onlv July 

 18th. It seems asthoughthey will surely 

 an 48 more. 



I don't know whether their tongues 

 are any longer than any of the others, 

 or whether they gathered it from Red 

 Clover, but surely such bees are worth 

 money.

Dear Sir —We have yours of July 18th 

 and would be glad to have you advise us 

 by return mail with reference to the 

 capping of the honey. Some parties say

 white, and we would be glad to have you 

 advise us how your honey is in this re- 

 spect, and oblige, Yours truly.
