STRONG TESTIMONY^ 



in Favor of 



Moore's Strain of Italians 



Frank Benton, of Washington, D. C, whose name is 

 familiar to all progressive apiarists, writes me, Feb'y 

 20, 1900, as follows : 



'• I have several times, in the course of corvespondence, and 

 in conversintr with bee keepers, had occasion to ansvifer tho 

 question • 'Where can the best Italian^' be sot !' It is, per 

 hapk not an easy thing to say, with certainty, but at least I 

 have felt I might be able to tell where GOOD ones could be 

 obtained. A number have referred to you, for, although 1 

 have not tested your stock personally, I thought 1 knew pret- 

 ty well from general reputation, its character. \ bee-keeper 

 near here— Mr. Geo. A. Lamphear, of Vienna, Va.— who got 

 some queens of you on ray recommendation, is so well pleased 

 with them— in fact, gives your bees such a good recommenda- 

 tion to me for gentleness and working qualities, paiticnlarly 

 their working on red clover, that I thought I would like to 

 try some myself." 



I was not aware that Mr. Benton was recommend- 

 ing my stock until I received the above letter. Such 

 testimony as this certainly has great weight. Don't 

 you think so? Mv stock is the result of 21 years of 

 careful breeding,'by selecting the be.«t honey-gather- 

 ing stock each season from which to rear queens and 

 crossing them as far as possible with drones not akin.
