 climate is mild and favorable. Notwithstand-

 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 i«, 1903. 

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



Dear Sirs:— I thought I would write 

 you a few lines in regard to the Red 

 Clover Queen 1 pot from you. They 

 haven't swarmed yet this summer, but I 

 have taken 40 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 

 i«th. It seems as though they will surely 

 fill 48 more. 



1 don't kno' 

 are any lonjie . . . _ . 



or whether they cathered it from Red 

 Clover, but surely such bees are worth 

 money. 



and would he glad to have you advise u 

 by return mail with reference to the 

 capping of the honey. Some carties say 

 the capping from these bees is not 

 white, and we would be glad to have you 

 advise us how your honey is in this re- 

 spect, and oblige. Yours truly.

Spring Blupf.Wis.. July 31. 1903. 

 The a. I. ROOT CO.. Medina, Ohio. 



Dear Sirs:— Yours of July 24th at hand 

 to-dav. In regard to your question in 

 reference to the cappings of the honey 

 from these beee 1 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. 1 would like very 

 much to have you 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 1 

 have. I could take off the sections with- 

 out smoke or veil without getting stung. 



There are a few traits about them that 

 eeem to me are quite remarkable aside from their honey-gathering; they dou't seem to w; 

 I will write you again in a few weeks and let you know if they fill the 144 sections, 

 they will. Respectfully, 



AGAIN READY FOR PROMPT DELIVERY. 



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

 with good Queens and prompt service.
