800 honey-gathering colonies from which to select the very best breeders. No one 

 has better bees than I. Can make prompt delivery by return mail. I have not yet 

 disappointed a customer. 



A new customer from Missouri where you 

 have to show them, writes: "The dozen 

 queens arrived promptly. They are the most 

 beautiful I ever saw." — (Name on request.) 

 Another one from the same state writes: 

 "Your 100 2-lb. packages averaged 90 lbs. 

 surplus honey per colony, 10 lbs. more per 

 colony than the other 2-lb. packages purchased 

 elsewhere." — H. H. Thale, Durham, Mo. 



Now listen to this, from Ontario, Canada : 

 "Bees and queens purchased of you last sea- 

 son all wintered without a single loss. Save 

 me 50 untested queens for May delivery." — • 

 (Name on request.) 



My customers say my queens stand the north- 

 ern winters. They are bred up for this, 

 combined with the highest honey-gathering 

 qualities and prolificness. 



Pure mating, safe arrival and satisfaction guaranteed. 



It is left with customer to say what is satisfaction. 

 Prices for balance of season: 1 Untested Queen, $1.00; for C, $5.50;

 end of his long active life. One day in his 

 eighty-second year, he wrote a letter to a 

 friend and two days later, in the arms of 

 his daughter, dropped quietly off in the last 

 sleep — "the immortal incommunicable 

 dream."
