Black and Hybrid Queens For Sale. 



For the benefit of friends who have black or hybrid queens 

 which they want to dispose of, we will insert notices free of 

 charge, as below. We do this becnuse there is hardly value 

 enough to these queens to pay for buying them up and keep- 

 ing them in stock; and yet It is oftentimes quite an accommo- 

 dation to those who can not afford higher-priced ones. 



I ha\ e about 12 choice hybrid queens for sale. 

 Price 30 cts. each, or 4 for $1.00. 



Geo. H. Denman, Pittsford, Mich. 



Five young hybrid queens for sale at 15 cts. each. 

 All good layers. Who wants them?
