STRONG TESTIMONY 



in Favor of 



Moore'sStrain 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 correspondence, and 

 in conversiiiff with bee keepers, liad occasion to answer thn 

 question ; 'Where can the best Italian''' be grot?' It is, per 

 haps, not an easy thine to say, with certaintA-, but at least I 

 have felt 1 might be able to tell where GOOD ones could be 

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

 have not tested your stoel5 personally, I thought I knew pret- 

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

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

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

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

 tion to me for gentleness and working qualities, particularly 

 their working on red clover, that 1 thought I would like to 

 try some myself." 



I was not aware that Mr. Bentou was recommend- 

 ing my stock until I received the above letter. Such 

 testimony as this certainly has great weight. Don't 

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

 careful breeding, by selecting the best honey-gather- 

 ing stock each season from which to rear queens, and 

 crossing them as far as possible with drones not akin. 



Prices for July : Warranted queens, 75c; 6 for S4.00; 

 12 for 8.750. Select warranted, SI. 00 each; 6 for 85.00 ; 

 12 for 89.00. Strong 3-frame nucleus, with warranted 

 queen, 82.50. Safe arrival and satisfaction guaranteed.
