QUEENS 



Buy them of H- G. Quirin, the largest 

 queen-breeder in the North. 



The A. I. Root & Co. tells us our 

 stock is extra fine. Editor York, of the 

 A. B- J. says that he has good reports 

 from our stock from time to time, while 

 J. L. Gandy, of Humboldt, Nebra., se- 

 cured over 400 pounds honey (mostly 

 comb) from single colonies containing 

 our queens. We have files of testimon- 

 ials similar to the above. 



Our breeders originated from the 

 highest priced long-tongued red clover 

 queens in the U. S. 



• Fine queens, promptness and square 

 dealing, has built up our present busi- 

 ness, which was established in 1888.

Buffalo, Aug. 8. — It is too early in 

 the season to ship new honey to Buf- 

 falo. Demand is too small as yet. There 

 is too much small fruit in market and 

 will be for some time. A very few ar- 

 rivals of fancy new in pound combs are 

 selling at 15 to 16 cents. Dark and 

 poor proportionally lower from 14 to 

 8 to 8 and 10 as to quality.
