$200 Red=clover Queen. 



, OFFER No. 35. 



ON SEPTEMBER 1st last we announced that we finally had a red-clover queen fully equal to the one 

 we had years ago. The colony of this queen has given one of the most remarkable showings on 

 red clover of any bees we have ever had. The queen in question is an ioiported one, and therefore of the 

 genuine pure leather-colored Italian stock. We sent out daughters from her all the season. But we did 

 not discover her value until the clover season, second growth, came on, and then her colony so out- 

 distanced all the other 450 that she attracted attention at once. 



It must be understood that these queens are not golden yellow, neither are their bees of the five- 

 banded stock. They are simply leather-colored Italians, whose mother came direct from Italy. 



Since the notice appeared regarding this queen we have hardly been able to supply all of the queens 

 that were wanted from tliis stock. Many daughters of this queen we sent out before we knew her value, 

 and it now transpires that some of the finest bees in the land are from queens we sent out early. V\ e are 

 now booking orders for the coming season, and make the following offer, but no queens will be furnished 

 except to those who subscribe for GLEANINGS, and only one with each year's subscription. All arrear- 

 ages must be paid to the end of this year. Gleanings for 1901 and one untested red-clover queen, f2.00; 

 Gleanings one year and a tested red-clover queen, $4.00; a select tested red-clover qusen and Gleanings 

 one year for .¥(!.00. We will begin mailing these queens in June, 1901. Orders are already being entered, 

 and the same will be filled in rotation. Do not neglect to improve this opportunity and get some choice 

 stock, and send your order early so you may get the queen correspondingly early in the season. Vt'e are 

 using every precaution to winter this qu;3n safjly, but r3S3rv3 tho right in case of her loss this winter to 

 substituts from other select tested stock of this strain which we ar3 holding in reserve, or to give the 

 subscriber the benefit of any of our other clubbing offjrs if desirjd.

Improved Golden, and Leather Colored Italian, 

 is what H. G. Quirin rears. 



We have one of Root's best Red-clover breeders 

 from their $200 queen and a Golden breeder from 

 Doolittle. who says, "If there is a queen in the 

 United States woith §100. this one is."' These 

 breeders have been added to our already improved 

 strain of queens for the coming season. 



J. L. Gandy, of Humboldt, Neb., wrote us on 

 Aug. 15, 1900, saying that the colony having one of 

 our queens had already stored over 400 pounds of 

 honey, mostly comb. He states that he is certain 

 our bees work on RED CLt)VER, as they were the 

 only kind in his locality and apiary. 



A. I. Root's folks say that our queens are extra 

 fine, while the editor of the American Bee Journal 

 tells us that he has sood reiiorts from onr queens 

 from time to time. We have files unon files of un- 

 solicited testimonials. After considering above 

 evidence, need you wonder that our orders have 

 increased each year? 



Give us a trial order and be pleased: we have 

 had years of experience in rearing and mailing 

 queens: safe delivery will be guaranteed; instruc- 

 tions for introducing sent with each lot of queans.
