CALIFORNIA ITALIAN QUEENS 



The old reliable three-band stock that delivers the goods. This stock is descendant from the A. I. 

 Root Co.'s best breeders. Then the J. P. Moore long tongue, red clover strain was added. Next some 

 of Doolittle's famous stock was secured, one breeder in particular, one which was selected by Mr. Doo- 

 little himself and caged with nis own hands a short time before his death, proved extra remarkable. 

 This season the Jay Smith strain has been secured, and these are proving equal, if not superior, to 

 anything I have ever seen. In order to keep running to maximum capacity till fall, I am offering
