FKOM AN EX-KDITOR. 



Friend Alley :— There are four jour- 

 nals that I cannot do without, and the API 

 is one of them. 



lioijuiey, Out., Ca. J. F. Holterman. 



SHK is a good specimkx. 



Friend Alley: — Late last fall I got 

 one of your queens from your hundred 

 dollar queen. She is the finest queen I 

 ever saw, although I "have in my yard 

 queens from several other breeders. She 

 came too late in the season to show Avhat 

 her bees might be. She was successfully 

 introduced and tucked up Avarm for win- 

 ter. (Jn the first day of February I 

 opened the hive, and you can judge of my 

 surprise when I found brood in all stages 

 and quite a lot of downy little fellows run- 

 ning around, showing that the queen had 

 been laying all through Januarv- 



1 shall want some more of your queens 

 if this one is a specimen of wliat you send 

 out.

THE BICST strain OF ITALIANS IX THE 

 WORLD. 



Henry Alley: — I received of yon the 

 finest Italian queen I ever saw, and I 

 have received queens from the principal 

 dealers in this country. I gave you one 

 dollar for her, and think I sold queens 

 from her four years. 1 sokl many queens 

 to parties who import queens, and they all 

 said my queens protluced the finest queens 

 they ever saw. I still have some of the 

 stock of the original queen. 



1 believe you have the best strain of 

 Italians bees in the United States. When 

 I am asked "where can I get the very best 

 Italian ([ueens," 1 ahvays answer, of Hen- 

 ry Alley, Wenham, Alas-i. The above are 

 facts, not taffy.
