Dr. Miller's Strain of Italians 



We have made arrangements with Dr. C. C. Miller to furnish us breeders, and therefore offer 

 vou the finest queens reared from the best stock on earth, as Dr. Miller holds the world's record for 

 an apiary of more than 70 colonies having averaged .266 sections weighing 244 pounds. These are 

 not queens bred from a mother that has produced one good yield, but it has been bred in them for 

 generations until their honey-gathering is a fixed quality. In Gleanings, p. 788, Editor Root says, 

 " Those queens (De. Miller's) ought to be worth $10 to $25 each." 



To inquirers: — I am rearing no queens for sale, i ut am keeping The Stover Apiaries supplied 

 vnth breeders from my best stock; and from thence roii, can obtain the same queens you could get 

 directly from me <^'- (■■ Miller, Marengo, III., March 1, 1916.
