I have as good stock as there is in the United 

 States, so says The A. I. Root Co. Besides hav- 

 ing selected choice queens from my own stock 

 from time to time during the entire season, I 

 have bought select queens from a number of 

 breeders of high repute. 



In addition to these I have a dozen imported 

 queens due direct from Italy any day. 

 To this, add 



AN EXTRA SELECT TESTED

 $1. 50; s*lect tested queen, 82.50 to 85.00. Root's
