SUPERIOR QUEENS BY RETURN MAIL 



QUEENS from the famous Red Clover stock, originated by me. Handsome three- 

 banded Italians. If there is honey to be had they will gather it. Something 

 better than the ordinary, at the same price you would pay for common stock. No 

 poor or indifferent queens are sent out at any price. 1 have devoted myself to queen- 

 rearing for so long, that I know every requirement of the business, and you may be 

 sure that my stock is the best in every particular. My bees are gentle as well as 

 handsome. Queens sent out now will begin to lay immediately, and will stock up 

 your hives with vigorous young bees for winter. Now is the time to buy and have 

 something extra fine to begin next season. My bees are exceptionally hardy, and 

 will winter well if given ordinary attention. Untested, $1; select untested, $1.25. 

 While present stock lasts will make the following discounts for quantities : 5 per 

 cent for 6, 10 per cent for 12, 20 per cent for 24, 25 per cent for 50. 



A FEW COMME^^fslSoM CUSTOMERS: 



Friend Worrfc//.— The queen re- 

 ceived. She is a beauty; her es-

 Fraternally yours,

Mr. F. J. Wardell, Uhrichsville, 



Ohio. 



Dear S/'r— I have been wanting 

 to tell you somethinir for some 

 lime. Vou remember I (rot a queen 

 bee of you late last fall. Well, 

 when I Kot her she had not much 

 chance to show her blood; but I 



tell you, sir, that she is a dandy, 

 and I would not take any money 

 for her. I placed her in a ten- 

 frame hive, and she was the first 

 one to show up; the prettiest little 

 yellow Italians you ever saw. 



Box 222. Yours truly, 



Jacob Heck.

Dear S/r.-— Enclosed you will

 for which send me at your earliest 

 convenience a select untested 

 queen. I received a queen from

 Wardell brand. 



Very respectfully,
