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 $200 ROOT BREEDER whose stock has gone the world 

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

 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.
