Imported Italian mothers only are used, and for in- 

 dustry, gentleness, and beauty their bees are unsur- 

 passecj. We have in our yards bushels of drones from 

 imported mothers and their daughters, and a mismat- 

 ed queen is rare. No defective queens sent out. Re- 

 member that we are in the far South, and can send 

 queens by return mail. Safe delivery. Money-order 

 office, Decatur.

Rare Chance 



to get Italian Bees, 



3, 4, and 5 Band., 



Owing to starting two new out-apiaries this 

 spring, and bees working unusually hard and breed- 

 ing up very fast, we are in shape from now until 

 Sept. 1.5th (after which we pack our bees for winter) 

 to sell lower than we have ever offered, either three- 

 frame nuclei, or full colonies and tested queens. We 

 do not want to break the trade price, so ask you to 

 write for private figures that will surprise you.

Dear Sir: — Have used the Conqueror 15 years. I was always pleased with 

 its workings, but thinking I would need a new one this summer I write for 

 a circular. I do not think the 4-inch Smoke Engine too large.
