Moore's Strain of Italians 



put to a practical test by Mr. L,. O. Thompson, a large 

 honey-producer, of Wey bridge, Vt., and here is what 

 he has to say in a letter received from him last fall: — 

 " They are excellent lioneyBatherer.s, nice to handle, stick- 

 ing to their combs when handling: them, not g:iven to bunching 

 Tip and roaming. This has been the wor.-t season ever known 

 In Vermont; and when 1 looked the bees over for winter, your 

 bees had THREE TIMES as much honey as the blacks and 

 other strains. Your bees are not given to swarming, and that 

 is one reason why I like them I think they are as hardy as 

 any bees I ever had. They seem to stand our severe winters 

 splendidly. We went into winter quarters with 551) colonies." 



Just think of it ! Three times as tnuch honey as 

 other strains ! I,ittle did 1 think, 21 years ago, that I 

 should be able to secure such results. 



Warranted queens, 75c each ; 6, S4 00 ; 12, S7.00. Se- 

 lect warranted, SI. 00 each ; 6, 85.00 ; 12, 89.00. Safe ar-

I am filling orders by return mail, and shall proba- 

 bly be able to do so till the close of the season.

Marquette, on Lake Superior, 



is one of the most charming summer resorts reached 

 via the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul Railway. 



Its healthful location, beautiful scenery, good hotels, 

 and complete immunity from hay fever, make a sum-

 the standpoint of health, rest, and comfort.

 sweets from the flowers to raise the thousands 

 of new bees for the coming honey crops. We 

 are busy with the orders for Hives, Sections,

 people to handle the bees conveniently and
