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 ROUT BREEDER whose stock has gone ihe 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.

 Our township is dry. I should like to see the United 

 States go dry, and not allow any whisky to enter its

KIND WORD FROM ABC AND X Y Z SCHOLAR. 



My hees are doing fine. I bought 20 colonies in 

 April and divided them. I now have 35 and they 

 are as lively a bunch as you ever saw. I never 

 had bees before, nor even saw the inside of a hive 

 with bees in it, but that "X Y Z " book " got me 

 by " all right so far. 1 really believe I have it al- 

 most committed to memory.
