BIG BARGAIN IN SECTIONS — We have an 

 odd lot .stock A and B grade sections not manu- 

 factured for our regular grade, size 4^/4 x 4% x 1%. 

 They compare quite favorably with Root Quality 

 sections. We recommend both the A and B grades as 

 a bargain. The A grade is strictly fine, and the 

 B grade is quite as good except for color and im- 

 perfection.s. Stock, limited and we urge quick action. 

 A grade in crates of 500 at $7.65 ; B grade at 

 $7.50. Available only in crates of 500. The A. I.

A BARGAIN — I shall select 40 of the best colo- 

 nies in one of our out-yards this year to run for 

 increase. Now I want the queens in these all sold, 

 so I can remove them all at the same time to start 

 cells for increase. They are all less than one year 

 old, right in the prime of their life. Mothers of 

 prime colonies, the pick of the whole yard, and 

 purely mated, descendants of the famous Moore 

 strain of leather-colored Italians. In order to have 

 those queens all sold when I want to remove them 

 I am going to offer them at a bargain. I will sell 

 them for $1.50 each, oasli with order. Orders may 

 be sent now ; first ones to send get the queens. 

 Qiieens will be mailed sometime about the 15fh or 

 20th of June, dependent on the season and weath- 

 er. Safe arrival and satisfaction guaranteed.
