 year made 200 pounds of lioney, and several made

M. C. Berry & Co,, Hayneville, Ala. — Book my 

 order for 10 1-lb. packages of your bees with queen.s. 

 The ten packages bought of you last spring, altho 

 delayed in transit, and therefore taking five days to 

 reach me, arrived in fine condition — not a cupful of 

 dead bees in lot. They did well, more than paying 

 for themselves the first season, and also went into 

 winter quarters in fine condition. I have tried 

 queens from several different places, and like vours 

 best of all. C. O. Board.
