Completely Destroys 

 the Weed Growth 



More than that, the BAEKEE breaks 

 the hardest crust into a level, porous, 

 moisture-retaining mulch — all in the 

 same operation. 



A ten-year-old boy can run it — do more 

 and better work than ten men with hoes. 

 Saves time and labor, the two big ex- 

 pense items.

Nuclei For 

 Spring Delivery 



A great many progressive beekeepers \ 

 \ of today buy nuclei to make up winter \ 

 I losses, or in the form of pound packages; 

 I to strengthen weak colonies. We know ; 

 ; this is a good investment, and for a good \ 

 \ many years have raised bees in the \ 

 \ South, sending them north to catch the = 

 ; honey flow in July and August. It is our I 

 ; policy, in furnishing our customers with j 

 \ bees from our southern apiaries, to fur- ; 

 \ nish bees that give satisfaction to you, as \ 

 \ they have to us for the past ten years. \ 

 \ We are very particular as to the strain I 

 ; of bees we keep, and the rearing of our ; 

 ; queens is in the hands of an expert. 



We maintain that the queen is the life ; 

 I of the colony, and they are reared under i 

 ; the most favorable conditions, that of \ 

 \ natural swarming, and they are fine large \ 

 \ ones with energy to spare, and as good ; 

 ; as money can buy. However, we do not \ 

 \ sell queens, but we see that a good queen 1 

 ; goes with every nucleus we sell. We guar- \ 

 \ antee you safety against disease, as our \ 

 \ bees are inspected constantly, and our \ 

 \ apiaries closely watched to see that no = 

 ; disease appears. Our prices as follows: I
