My first peep out on the dawn of a new year. 



Highest Quality Prompt Service Satisfaction 



The Reliable Three- Banded Italian Queens 



We are now booking orders for 1921. Queens will be ready after May 15th, one- 

 fourth down, balance just before shipping date. Place your orders early, as we 

 fill orders in rotation. 



WHY ORDER FARMER QUEENS? 



They are bred by as skillful and experienced queen-breeders as can be found in 

 the United States. There are very few places where queens are reared under as 

 favorable conditions as in our queen-rearing yards. We devote our time to rear- 

 ing as good queens as possibly can be, and we positively guarantee that no better 

 can be reared; we spare neither labor nor money in developing our strain of 

 Italians. It is our intention to improve our original stock each year and to be 

 more skillful queen-breeders. Our first original stock was procured from the 

 highest quality obtainable, which we have proved to the highest point and is 

 now not surpassed by any. Our own eyes inspect every queen that leaves our 

 yards; no culls sent out. Place your orders, and after you have given our queens 

 a fair test and you are not satisfied in every way that they are as good as any 

 you have ever used, just return them and we will send you queens to take their 

 places or return your money. They are very resistant to diseases, the very best 

 for honey-gathering. You take no risk in buying our queens; safe arrival in 

 U. S. A. and Canada; satisfaction is left entirely to purchaser; prompt service 

 given to all orders; every queen guaranteed to be purely mated.
