INVESTMENTS 



IN 



SOUTHERN LANDS. 



Such investments 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.

RED CLOVER HONEY=QUEENS. 



Spring Bluff, wis .July is, 1903. 

 The a. I, Root Co., Medina. Ohio. 



Dear Sirs;— I thougbt I would write 

 you a few lines in regard to the Red 

 iMover Queen 1 (jot from you. They 

 haven't ewarmed yet this summer, but I 

 have taken 48 sections from them and 

 there is 24 more all ready to come off. 



Just think. 72 nice sections of as nice 

 honey as ever was made, and only July 

 I8ih. It seems as though they will surely 

 fill 48 more. 



1 don't know whether their tongues 

 are any longer than any of the others, 

 or whether they cathered it from Red 

 Clover, but surely such bees are worth 

 money. 



1 use the 8-frame Jumbo frame.

C. E. Kellogq. Spring Bluff, Wis. 



Dear Sir -We have yours of July 18th 

 and would lie glaa to have you advise us 

 hy return mail with reference to the 

 rapping of the honey. Some parties say 

 pping from these bees is not 



white, and \ 

 adv 



ho 



uld be glad to have you

HPRING BLrPF, Wis.. July 31. 1903. 

 THE A. I. Root Co.. Medina. Ohio. 



DearSirs:— Yours of July 24lh at hand 

 to-day. In regard to your question in 

 reference to the cappingsof the honey 

 from these bees I will say that it is 

 simply perfect, beautiful snow-white 

 and every box perfect. 96 one-pound 

 sections now. I am quite sure they will 

 till two more supers, which will bring 

 the number up to 144. I would like very 

 much to have vou see a few of those sec- 

 tions, and I will be glad to send you a 

 few. 



Now. I haven't told you ALL their 

 good qualities yet. I am sure they are 

 by far the most gentle bees to hand le I 

 have. I could take off the sections with- 

 out smoke or veil without getting stung. 

 There are u few traits about them that 

 seem to me are quite remarkable aside from their honey-ga*hering; they don't seem ^o want to 



I will write you a^ain in a few weehs and let you know if they fill the 144 sec* 

 they will. Respectfully, 



AGAIN READY FOR PROMPT DELIVERY. 



We were snowed under with orders for a few weeks, but here we are again 

 with good Queens and prompt service. 



Red Clover and Honey Oueens. 



With any of the last three we include one frame of bees and brood to insure 

 safe arrival, for which we make no charge. These must be sent by express. 

 Queen circular free.
