 - strain that gave the big yields in '94,

Then we have Breeders from 

 our strain that gave tne Dig yieias m y-i, 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 breeching for honey-gatherers

MOORE'S STRAIN OF ITALIANS 



AS RED-CLOVER WORKERS. 



X,. C. Medkiff, Salem, N. J., says: "I bought an un- 

 tested queen of you last year and her bees have filled 

 three comb-honey supers, and did not swarm, while 

 thirteen out of the fifteen other colonies did not get 

 more than half that amount 



I have queens fiom six different breeders, and I 

 class yours 100 per cent above them all. Your bees 

 woiktd very strong on the first crop of red clover I 

 know they were yours, because I floured them with a 

 dredge-box and watched the hive. They also worked 

 strong on the second crop of red clover and lima-bean 

 b1"'sonis."

X5he Best Stock ! 



Twenty years' experience in rearing Italian queen 

 bees, and" producing honey on a large scale has tiughl 

 me the value of the best stock, and what the best 

 queens reared from that 1 est stock ir.ean to the hon- 

 ey producer. I have alwavs trieo to improve my 

 stock by buving queens from breeders who bieed for 

 houeygatheriiig instead of color: then by crossing 

 these different strains and selecting the best and 

 breeding from them I have secured a strain of stock 

 that is the equal of any for honey-gathering. 



Delanson, New York, July 10, 1902. 

 Mk. Robey— Dear Sir: The queen.<Jthat I bought 

 of you two years ago were the finest lot, and the best 

 honey-gatherers of any queens I ever had, and I have 

 had over 1000 iiueens from the principal queen-breed- 

 ers of the United States. E. W. Alexander. 

 Warranted queens in any quantity, 60c. each. Safe de- 

 livery and satisfaction guaranteed or money refunded.
