HILTON'S Strain of Bees 



and What They Did 



Dmr Friend Hilton: — The two three-frame nuclei 1 

 received of you May 21 were received in fine condition, 

 and the red-clover queens proved themselves worthy of 

 the name. I never saw finer or gentler bees. They were 

 transferred to ten-frame hives and full sheets of founda- 

 tion. I now have four strong colonies, with plenty of 

 stores for winter, and have taken 195 lbs. of fine ex- 

 tracted honey, mostly clover. I want two more nuclei 

 for next spring delivery, and my neighbor wants another. 

 You may use this letter or any part of it as you choose. 



Gratefully yours, 

 Rhinelander, Wis., Sept. 14, 1908. G. C. Chase. 



In addition to the above I have sold 

 friend Chase about $200 worth of ROOT 

 GOODS, which deserve some credit for 

 the above results — the best of every thing 

 is none too good. ROOT'S GOODS 

 and Gleanings helped. If you are not 

 taking Gleanings, WHY NOT 1 For

 for $1.00; two years for $1.50; three years 

 for $2.00. SEND FOR MY 40-PAGE
