 yet disappointed a customer. 



PRICES 



For 1 untested $1.00; for 6, $5 50; for 12 or more, $10.00 per dozen 

 Tested queens $2.00 each 



A new customer from Missouri, where you have to show them, writes: "The dozen 

 queens arrived promptly. They arc the most beautiful I ever saw." (Name on request.) 

 Another one, from the same state, writes; "Your 100 2-lb. packages averaged over 

 90 pounds surplus honey per colony; 10 pounds more per colony than the other 2-lb. 

 packages purchased elsewhere." H. H. THALE, Durham, Mo. 



Now listen to this, from Ontario, Canada: "Bees and queens purchased of you last 

 season all wintered without ,* single loss. Save me 50 untested queens for May de- 

 livery." (Name on request.) 



My customers say my queens stand the northern winters. They are bred up for this 

 purpose, combined with the highest honey-gathering qualities and prolificness. 



Pure mating, safe arrival, and satisfaction guaranteed. It is left with customer 

 to say what is satisfaction.
