WIRE CLOTH FOR BEE-KEEPERS, 



m Gl^K^TItY l^KDaCKD Pl^ICKS. 



By taking a very large stock of wire cloth from 

 the factory, we have been enabled to give the fol- 

 lowing greatly reduced prices: 



DARK-BLUE WIRE CLOTH, ESPECIALLY 

 FOR QUEEN-CAGES. 

 This has 12 meshes to the inch, and is considered 

 better for queen-cages than any other shade, be- 

 cause the e,ye detects bees and queens inside quick- 

 er. We have it in three different widths— 34, 30, and 

 36 in.; price is 3c. per sq. ft.; 2Sc. for 10 S(i. ft., or 

 f 3.50 tor a roll containing 100 sq. ft. 



WIRE CLOTH PAINTED GREEN. 



We iieviM- iiavc had any objection to this l<ind of 

 wire cloth, e.\ce])t that bees are not as readily- seen 

 through it as in the other. We have it in roils 34, 36, 

 28, and 30 inches wide, for 2'.ic. per sq. ft. in whole 

 rolls. 



Those whose names appear below agree to furnish 

 Italian (lueens for $1.00 each, under the following: 



t'onditions: No guarantee is to be iissimieil of imrity,
