My three-banded Italians captured first prize again at Dallas State Fair 

 and the Cotton Palace Fair at Waco. This speaks for itself — none better. 



For my stock I secured the best stock obtainable, and when you pay more 

 than my prices you are paying that much extra. I sell nothing only good queens. 

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

FLAX BOARD 



The cost of F"lax Board is small. It undoubtedly will pay foi itself many 

 times every season. You. of course, know that you must protect your bees 

 against the cold in spring if you want to rear brood for the early honey crop- You 

 also know that most of the heat escapes at the top of your hive while the cold 

 comes in at the bottom. With the use of Flax Board, however, you can entirely 

 overcome this. 



We will gladly send you a small sample free if you will write for it
