Solid GOU1D 



Around the queen centers our future success in 

 apiculture. A poor queen, like a poor hoi-se, will 

 die on our hands when most needed. Color in 

 either case is immaterial, being simply a matter of 

 choice— my choice is the G. M. Doolittle strain of 

 Italians which is not only the prettiest, but is also 

 far in advance of all other strains, imported Ital- 

 ians not excepted. 



I am the owner of the best qvieens ever produced 

 by Mr. Doolittle; and shall govern myself accord- 

 ing to Natui'e's best way of rearing queens. 



Listen to what Mr. Dnolittle says: "During the 

 |)ast sixteen years, these bees have been l)red with 

 great pains regarding their honey-gathering (juaU- 

 ties, my average production of comb honey from 

 each colony for that time having been about 80 lbs. 

 each year, while single colonies have given us as 

 high as 298 to 3u9 pounds." 



My capacity is about 30(i nuclei, while my rates 

 are as follows: Virgin queen, 40 cts.; untested, $1.00; 

 tested, .f2.00; select tested, $3.00; .select tested breed- 

 ing queen, $4.00. 



Special Offer. A select te.sted breeding queen 

 will lie given the one ordering the greatest number 

 of queens during the mtmth of Mar., Apr., May, (jr 

 .Tune. Orders may be booked now, and the. pay 

 sent wlien the queens are ready,
