After many years' experience as head queen- 

 breeder for The A. I. Root Co., I am now breed- 

 ing bees at the above address. My stock is equal 

 to any now advertised, and my long experience 

 enables me to judge very accurately the value of 

 any strain. Mine is the celebrated red-clover 

 stock, which has given so much satisfaction to 

 thousands of buyers for a number of years past. 

 If you desire something very select for breeding 

 purposes, write to me, stating your wants, and 

 the same will be supplied. I have no cheap or
