HEADQUARTERS FOR THE ALBINO. 



For beauty, for kindness, and for large vields of honey, the Albino bee is ahead. Last season we in- 

 creased one colony to 6, from which we took .500 lbs. of comb honey, and all had abundant stores f or wan- 

 tering. We have a heavier stock of bees than ever before, and shall be able to furnish queens in large 

 numbers. We have also added to our buildings, and increased our facilities for Hives, Comb I oundation, 

 and Apiarian Supplies generally. Send for Price List. Please write your address plainly. ,, , ^ ., . 



We have traded for some hybrid and black bees, which have fine queens, which we will sell, hybrids at 

 $1.00, blacks 50 cents. Address
