QUEENS 



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 off 

 brood diseases. 



In the spring of 1899 we sent fifty nuclei to 

 J. D. Nixon, Lafargre, 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. 



Add price of whatever grade of queen is 

 wanted with nuclei and colonies; nuclei and 

 colonies, if shipped before June 1st, add K, or 

 2591), extra to above price. No order too large 

 and none too small. Will keep 500 to 1000 

 queens oji hand ready to mail. Safe delivery 

 and pure mating guaranteed. Over 20 years a 

 breeder. Testimonials and circular free.

is again offering his splendid stock of 

 favoiite Italians the coming season. 

 Queens from this strain can not be sur- 

 passed, and are the kind that get bees 

 that make supers hard to lift. 



Twenty - one years a commercial 

 queen - breeder, and an advertiser in 

 this journal, he knows what a good 

 queen is, and can prove it to you. 



I wish you could see some of the splendid 

 letters coming to my desk now almost daily. 

 Laws queens are in every State in the Union, 

 and the careful breeding of these queens has 

 put many dollars in the pockets of his custo- 

 mers, as I have abundant evidence to show. 

 I am now supplying some queens in April, 

 and shall have plenty in May, and my prices 

 are low. In keeping with quality of my stock. 



I have about 75 strictly first-class breed- 

 ing-queens that are worth many times the
