5F YOU NEED QUEENS 



We can fill your orders by return mail. To 

 use the words of our customers, with the 

 "largest and finest queens you evtr saw." 

 The-se queens are not only fine looking, but 

 are very prolific, and their bees are the best of 

 honty-gatherers ; that means strong cc.lonies 

 and full supers. Now, to prove that this is not 

 all talk, send for our price li.st of Italian 

 queens, and give us a trial order. 

 The choicest of tested queens. SI. 00 each. 



^ Untested, 75 cts. each ; S8.00 per doz. 



♦ Safe arrival and satisfaction guaranteed on 

 every order.
