I Queens from Dr. C. C. 

 I Miller's Best 

 I Breeders 



We have made arrangements with Dr. C. 

 C. Miller to keep ns supplied with some of 

 his best breeders, and are rearing queens 

 from these superior mothers that we guar- 

 antee to be as good as can be reared. 

 These queens are not ,iust individuals that 

 have made a good yield: we all have some 

 colonies that made a good showing, hut all 

 do not have a strain that holds the world's 

 record as his does. Think of it — a whole 

 yard of 72 colonies averaging 266 sections 

 weighing 244 pounds. You are getting at 

 a low price the results of fifty years of care- 

 ful breeding of one of the most successful 

 beekeeper.s in the world. Safe arrival and 

 entire satisfaction guaranteed on all goods
