GLEANINGS IN BEE CULTURE. 



HILTON'S Strain of Bees 



and What They Did 



Drar Fritnd Bilton: — The two three-frame nuclei I 

 received of you May 21 were received in fine condition, 

 and the red-clover queens proved themselves worthy of 

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

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

 tion. 1 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, 

 Rhioelander, 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.? For 

 an order of $10.00 before Jan. 1 I will give 

 Gleanings one year; $20.00, two years; 

 $30.00, three years; or you may have 

 Gleanings from now to the end of 1909 

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

 for $2.00. SEND FOR MY 40-PAGE 

 CATALOG. CASH FOR BEESWAX, 

 or will exchange goods for it.

 Fine well-bred queens are his specialty, and in all the queens 

 mailed during the past 18 years there is not a displeased customer 

 that I know of. On the other hand, letters of praise come from 

 every source. Mr. Wm. Hughes, of Washington, D. C, writes 

 that he has been handling queens for the past twenty years, and 

 he has never found any that equal or please him so well as the 

 two dozen he bought of me last season. I can and do mail 

 queens every month in the year, California and Cuba taking over 

 100 in the past month of December. I will mail queens from 

 now on at the one price of $1.00 each or 6 for $5.00. Breeding 

 queens, each. $5.00. Write for prices on quantity lots. Address
