"SHE-SUITS-QUEENS." See advertisement on 

 inner back cover of the January issue. The gen- 

 erous discount is for the purpose of getting my or- 

 ders booked before the season opens. It is a great 

 advantage to a queen-breeder to know weeks ahead 

 just how many queens he must get ready. If he 

 does not know, he either will have hundreds on hand 

 with no sale at times, or will have orders for hun- 

 dreds and no queens to fill the orders. The dis- 

 count will positively be discontinued at the opening 

 of the season. Get your orders in early that you 

 may be sure of your dates. Allen Latham, Norwich- 

 town, Conn.
