the Veteran Queen-specialist 



WILL begin the season of 1911 with 

 greatly improved facilities for 

 rearing the choicest queens. . . Our 

 queens are not only large, vigorous, 

 handsome, and prolific, but by reason 

 of a judicious system^ of line breeding 

 they have the power to transmit inher- 

 ent tendencies of a highly desirable na- 

 ture, such as hardiness, gentleness, and 

 industry, as well as uniformity of mark- 

 ing, which makes them especially val- 

 uable as breeders. Every queen is war- 

 ranted to produce uniformly marked 

 bees of superior honey-gathering qual- 

 ities. Don't take chances. Get the 

 real thing. Warranted, SI. 00; six, $5.00; 

 dozen, $9.00. Tested, $1.25. Breeders, 

 $5.00. Half pound of bees, no queen, 

 $1.00. Three (L) frame nucleus, no 

 queen, $3.25. No selection, therefore 

 no culls, and a square deal for all. Val- 

 uable information free for your address.

and bees — an improved superior strain of 

 Italians is what QUIRIN RAISES. All yards 

 winter on summer stands with practically no 

 loss. Our stock is hardy, and will ward oflF 

 brood diseases. 



In the spring of 1899 we sent fifty nuclei to 

 J. 1>. Nixon, Lafarge, Wis., and on July 20th 

 (same year) he wrote us, saying they did just 

 splendid, as at that writing they had already 

 filled their supers, and that he would have to 

 extract them. We have files of testimonials 

 similar to the above.
