QUEENS! 



Real queens. We have them for you. 

 We are large producers of comb honey, 

 operating from 500 to 1000 colonies of 

 bees all the time. If j'ou haven't a first- 

 class queen you can not expect crops of 

 honey. Would you not prefer to pur- 

 chase your queens from a breeder that 

 rears queens to make honey crops with, 

 rather than from one who is rearing 

 them exclusively for the market, re- 

 gardless of whether they produce honey 

 or not? We are in position to know 

 whether our breed of three-band and 

 golden Italians are honej'-producers. 

 We have had honey-houses at several 

 points to exhibit our honey, alwaj's tak- 

 ing fii'st prize. Walter S. Ponder, of 

 Indianapolis,, in 1907, found three un- 

 capped cells out of 68 24-lb. cases of 

 fancy white honey. From others we 

 have had letters equally good. Untest- 

 ed, 85 cts. ; select untesfed, $1.00. War- 

 ranted, $1.10; tested, $1.50.
