From Root and H. D. Murry's Famous Stock 



THREE-BANDED ITALIANS THE BEST. They arc hustlers, gentle to handle, 

 eap their honey white, are very resistant to European foul brood. Some call them 

 Long-tongue Red-clover Queens. Satisfaction and safe arrival guaranteed. We are 

 applying for a patent on a bee-shipping Cage that will allow the queen to lay while on 

 the road, which means several days to you. We use pure SUGAR SYRUP, no honey 

 or candy. Now we will ship in these cages during May and June without any extra 

 charge whatever; 10 per cent discount on all orders received with remittance tor May 

 and June. No foul brood in any of our yards. Reference, The Guaranty State Bank,
