WHY NOT BUY THE VERY BEST QUEENS? 



when you can get them for no more than others are asTcins for queens that do not have as good a 

 record? We have made arrangements with Dr. C. C. Miller to furnish us breeders from his best 

 stock, which means the best stock in the world, as his stock has producd more honey than any other 

 strain in the world, or 266 sections weighing 244 pounds (how is that for filling the se tiiins full?). 

 In extracted honey this would mean about 488 pounds. Just think of it — an average of nearly 500 

 lX)unds per colony. The breeders Dr. Miller sent us are a-s fine as can be, besides t! " record they 

 have, bein.g pure three-banded Italians, very gentle, and produce fine large daughters. Tliese are not 

 queens from a mother that has produced one good crop, but it has been bred in them for generations 

 until their honey-gathering is a fixed quality. Editor Root says in Gleanings, page 788, " Those 

 queens (Dr. Miller's) ought to be worth $10.00 to $25.00 each." Others have sent him $10.00 to 

 $25.00 for a single queen. Few people ever have a chance at the best in the world; so, grasp the 

 opportunity while it is offered you.
