 j the few changes we make will be to the mutual ad- 

 I vantage of our customers and ourselves. The de- 

 I mand for our queens has become such that we will 

 I discontinue the sale of bees in packages, and will 

 I devote all our time and attention to rearing and 

 I developing our strain of Italians that have proved 

 I so satisfactorv to our customers in the past. We 

 I will sell luit ONE GRADE OF QUEENS, and that 

 I THE VERY BEST that we are capable of produc- 

 I ing. Our original stock was procured from Mr. 

 I Doolittle and by constantly breeding for desirable 

 I qualities, and by rearing all queens under the most 

 j favorable conditions, queens of high standard are 

 I the result. 



I WE ARE NOW BOOKING ORDERS for 1921 

 I delivery, and those wishing to get queens at any 

 I specific date should place orders early, as we fill 



i I orders in rotation. Our shipping season is from
