ARE YOU LOOKING 

 FOR GREAT RESULTS 



Than g»t Red-clover Queens from 



F.J. WARDELL, 



Uhrichsville, 



Ohio 



You have heard of this famous strain, 

 probably. Well, 1 originated the long- 

 tongued red-clover bees, and have kept the 

 strain pure without any contamination. 

 Tiiey are handsome three-banded Italians, 

 ami show their worth as soon as received. 

 If there is honey to be had they will gather 

 it. My customers generally write like this:

 J. F. Wardbll, Uhrichsville, O. 



Dear Sir: — The queens I bought from you last 

 season were received promptly, and in good condi- 

 tion. They did wonderfully well in the short time 

 they had to work before cool weather, and I am 

 looking for great results from them the coming 

 •easoo of 1909. Sincerely yours, 



Mrs. W. S. Wingate.

demons' strain of th'ee-banded Italians has-no equal. Mr. 

 M. R. juckett. Poultney, Vt., writes: " I have queens from seven 

 different breeders, and yours are the only ones which have pro- 

 duced honey in the sections." 



Mr. N. L. Stevens, president of New York State Bee-keepers' 

 Association, Moravia, N.Y., who purchased of me. in 1907, 40 of 

 my cheapest untested queens, writes, Jan. 22, 1908: " The queens 

 I purchased of you in 1907 proved very satisfactory. I tjought 

 over .100 queens that season from 10 different breeders, and your 

 beef averaged the best of any of them the past season and only 

 one strain was a close competitor. Your bees built up very 

 rapidly, and were good honey-gatherers." 



Why pay a high price for the common kind when others report 

 such results i If you don't try a few of my queens we shall both 

 loce money.
