Boston. — Our market on comb honey continues 

 very dull; and while the supplies are not large, yet 

 they are fully equal to the demand. Our nominal 

 market is 18: but these prices can be shaded where an 

 actual purchaser is found. S e think the lack of de- 

 mand is caused largely by the difference between 

 price of this year and previous years. Extracted hon- 

 ey sells in better demand at 7^(gj7^.

All is Not Gold that Glitters! [ 



Because queens are simply yellow it doesn't 

 necessarily follow that they' are superior in 

 the essentials that go to make the ideal 

 honey-bee. When you want Italians that are 

 bred up to the point that they po.ssess the de- 

 sirable qualities of the blacks, coupled with 

 the most marked degree of gentleness, beau- 

 ty, and energy- of their own race, order your 

 queens of me. 



Orders booked now for delivery in season. 



Price $1 00 for warranted queens untested.
