 None better. I positively guarantee my queens to please. No foul brood.

FLAX BOARD 



Klax Board is composed entirely of flax fibre, thoroughly degummed and 

 pressed into desired thicknesses by heavy machinery. It is a blanket of un- 

 bleached linen. It is rat and vermin proof, and will not decay. 



One-half inch thick Flax Board has the efficiency of thirty thicknesses of 

 building paper. It is the best insulating material known. It will keep the in- 

 side of your hives cool in hot weather and warm in cold weather, and will not 

 condense moisture anywhere 



We furnish it cut to any size. Prices and weights as follows;
