[ITALIAN QUEENS I 



Will book orders now. Untested 

 Queens ready to mail April 1. 



As I am located in the southern part of the 

 state where we have an early spring, I can rear 

 Queens of High Quality much earlier than 

 most other breeders, and as I am a honey pro- 

 ducer as well as a queen-breeder, I believe I 

 am in a position to know the value of good 

 queens. I have never had a case of foul brood 

 in any of my colonies. If you want queens 

 that are exceptionally vigorous and prolific, 

 that produce bees that are gentle and the best 

 of honey-gatherers, let me book your order. Will 

 guarantee safe arrival in the United States and 

 Canada. Send for free circular and price list. 



Untested, $1.00; 6, $5.00; 12, $ 9.00
