FOR GETTING NEW SUBSCRIBERS. 



Red Clover Queens 



FOR 1902 FREE! 



Long-Tong-ue Variety — Warranted Purely Mated 



We have arranged with the queen-breeder who furnished Long-Tongue Red Clover Queen 

 for us during the season of 1901, to fill our orders this season. Although fully 95 percent of 

 the untested queens he sent out were purely mated, this season all that he mails for us will be 

 ■warranted purely mated. 



We want every one of our present subscriijers to have one or more of these money-maker 

 CJueens. We have received most excellent reports from the queens we supplied last season. 

 And this year our queen-breeder says he expects to be able to send out even better Queens, if 

 that is possible. He is one of the very oldest and best queen-breeders. His bees average quite 

 a good deal the longest tongues of any yet measured. The Breeder he will use is direct from 

 Italy, having imported her himself. Her worker-bees are large, of beautiful color, very gentle, 

 scarcely requiring veil or smoke. 



Orders for these tine, " long-reach " Warranted Queens will be filled in rotation — "first 

 come first served " — beginning as early in June as possible. It is expected that orders can be 

 filled quite promptly (even better than the past season), as a much larger number of queen-rear- 

 ing nuclei will be run. (But never remove the old queen from the colony until you have re- 

 ceived the new one, no matter from whom you order a queen). 



All Queens will be guaranteed to arrive in good condition, and will be clipped, unless other- 

 wise ordered. 



A Warranted Queen for Sending us only TWO NEW 

 YEARLY SUBSCRIBERS, 



In order that every one of our subscribers who wants one of these Warranted Queens this 

 season can easily earn it, we will book your order as follows: 



Xo. 1. — For sending us the names and addresses of two new .subscribers to the Amer- 

 ican Bee .Journal and $2.00, we will mail you one of these queens free. 



No. 2. — Or, for sending us one mm subscription at $1.00, and 30 cents more ($1.30), we will 

 mail you a queen, and the Bee -Journal for one year to the new subscriber. 



No. 3. — Or, send ua $1.60 and we will send to you the Bee .Journal lor one year, and also 

 a queen. 



This indeed is an opportunity to get a superior Queen, and at the same time help swell the 

 list of readers of the old American Bee Journal. 



We are now ready to book the Queen orders, and also to enroll the new subscriptions. Re- 

 member, the sooner you get in your order the earlier you will get your Queen. We hope that 

 every one of our present readers will decide to have at least one of tliese Queens. Address, 



GEORGE W. YORK & CO.,
