 America, having bred them for 18 years We find 

 them the .g'^/z/Zi?.?/ bees known. Very hardy and pro- 

 lific, good workers on red clover; great comb-builders, 

 and their sealed combs are of a snowy whiteness. 



Italians. 



Gentle, prolific, swarm very little, hustlers to work, 

 and a red-clover strain.

^ ^ ^ Doolittle Says: 



Be very choice of this Breeder; if ever a Queen was worth $100, she is." Then we have Breeders from 

 our strain that gave the big yields in '94. and which some of the largest bee-keepers in Cuba say 

 can't be beat. They swarm but little and are honey-getters. We are breeding for honey-gatherers 

 more than color. We cull our cells and queens, and warrant queens purely mated. Prices: Select 

 untested, 81.00; select, $1.25, tested, $1.50; select, $2.00; breeders, 8:3.00, $4 00, and $6 00. Circulars free.

THE DEMAND FOR 



MOORE'S STRAIN OF ITALIANS 



becomes greater each year. The fol- 

 lowing report shows the reason why: 



EXCEL IN STORING CAPACITY. 



B. vS. Taylor, a large honey-producer of Perris, Cal., 

 who sent me an order for 75 queens at one time, says : 

 "I have a large apiary mostly of your stock, and I have 

 never, in my 30 years' experience, seen so quiet and 

 gentle bees to handle, and in storing capacity they ex- 

 cel anything I have ever had." 



Untested queens, $1 00 each; six, $5 00; dozen, $9.00. 

 Select untested queens, $1.25 each; six, 86 00; dozen, $11. 



Safe arrival and satisfaction guaranteed. 

 Descriptive circularfree. 

 I am now filling orders by return mail, and shall 

 probably be able to do so till the close ot the season.
