BUY THE BEST 



Why buy inferior queens when the best can be bought at the same price? You 

 have heard of Dr. C. C. Miller's famous honey-gathering stock. How would YOU like 

 to have a strain of bees like his? You CAN have. LISTEN, and we will tell you how. 



We have made arrangements with Dr. Miller to furnish us breeders from his stock 

 that has produced 266 sections weighing 244 pounds. These breeders are FINE. They 

 are pure three-banded Italians, very gentle, and produce fine large daughters. Few 

 people ever have a chance at the best in the world — so grasp this chance while you 

 have it. 



To iii'iuirers: — / am rmriny no queens for sale, hut am keeping The Stover ApHaries supplied 

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

WARDELL STRAIN OF ITALIANS 



Descendents from the Famous Root $200 Queen 



I was head queen breeder for The A. I. Root Co. for a number of -years, and during that 

 time I originated the famous S200 ROOT BREEDER whose stock has gone the world 

 around. These bees for GENTLENESS. GENERAL VIGOR, and HONEY-GATHERINC 

 qualities have ESTABLISHED A REPUTATION. I have been for years developing and 

 perfecting this same strain. While my prices may be higher than some others, my queens 

 are cheap in comparison with their value.
