grow at once, put out new runners, and give you a 

 nice crop of beautiful fruit next season. Of course, 

 the ground must be rich, and you must keep the weeds 

 away. The sooner you get them, the more chance 

 they will have to grow this fall. 



They are now ready to send out at 3 cts. each, or 25 

 ■cts. for 10, by express; or 5 cts. each, 40 cts. for 10, by 

 mail. The following is our list of standard varieties :

SEi.THE?0\UTS\ 



I have had fifteen years of experience in producing 

 honey and rearing queens ; and I am breeding queens 

 from a queen procured last spring from J. F. Mcln- 

 tyre, of Sespe, California. He describes this stock on 

 page 12 of Gleanings for Jan. 1st, as filling the supers 

 when other colonies were actually starving. The 

 drones in my yard are from excellent stock — such as 

 that of J. P. Moore, of Kentucky. I rear queens by 

 the Doolittle method, send them by return mail, and 

 guarantee safe arrival, purity of mating, and satisfac- 

 tion, at 50 cts. each, in any quantity. Money refund- 

 ed if queens are not satisfactory. Send for circular.
