The quality of Murry's queens and bees is 

 shown in the increasing demand for them. 

 Capacity of queen yards doubled last year 

 and again this season. Advance orders up 

 to March 5th nearly as many as total sales 

 last year. Many old customers are doubling 

 their orders for this season. Why ? Because 

 they get a square deal.
