Notwithsiaiidinj? the fact that there are probably 

 more trood new varietii'.s^ before us now tlian we 

 shall be able to takeoarc" of in the next ten years, 

 theie are still many jht^oiis who want to try their 

 hand at new varieiio-. Kor the liciictli of such we 

 have \nn v\> sckIs from ovirrlpe I'niit nf the f.)llow- 

 iuff vMiietles: Sharpless. \Vartleld, l^djrar Queen,

 plants, and keep the moss damp until your little 

 plants are up. Price of seeds of above kinds 5 cts. 

 per packet.

 surpassed. We have in our yard bushels of drones 

 from imported mothers and their daughters, and a 

 mismated queen is rare. No defective queens sent 

 out. Remember that we are in the far South, and 

 can send queens by return mail. Safe delivery.
