1092 GLEANINGS IN BEE^^CULTURE. Sept. 1 



HIGHLAND FARM QUEENS 



are the result of years of careful selection and judicious breeding from the best honey- 

 gathering strains of superior long-tongue red-clover Italians in America and Italy. 

 Highland Farm methods will produce perfectly developed, long-lived, and prolific 

 queens. If you want bees that will winter well, build up rapidly in the spring, and 

 roll in the honey. Highland Farm queens will produce them. We are now sending 

 queens of this celebrated strain by return mail at the following prices:
