ANYTHING is good enough until something 

 comes along that is better. Even a good imitation 

 gains admiration until compared with the genuine. 

 Likewise with queens. The market is flooded with 

 many strains. Extravagant claims run riotous. 

 However, quality is quickly detected by the expert. 

 Compare Victor's Italian queens with other strains, 

 and their superiority is noted immediately. Price :

ONE HUNDRED — When my brother, W. Z. 

 Hiitch'Tison. was living, we used to buy queens 

 of J. P. Moore by the hundred each year to re- 

 queen our colonies. The last few years I have 

 raised the queens we needed, breeding from the 

 best in over 300 colonies of this strain. I know 

 that I have improved the strain I started with. 

 They are gentle, hardy, and good workers. We 

 have 100 tested queens of this strain, one year or 

 less old, for sale. In order to close them all out 

 this month I will sell them for $1.50 each, or $16.80 

 per doz. They are right in their prime, first class in 

 every respect. They should do good work another 

 year yet. Safe arrival and satisfaction guaranteed. 

 Elmer Hutchinson & Son, Lake City, Mich.
