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, Lafarge, Wi.s., 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.
