THAT PRITCHARD QUEENS AND PRITCH- 

 ARD SERVICE made a hit last season is proven 

 by the many letters of appreciation and repeated 

 orders received. This year we are BETTER PRE- 

 PARED WITH a LARGER OUTFIT AND RE- 

 DUCED PRICE. Three-banded Italians, untested, 

 $1.25 each, 6 for $7.00; select untested, $1.50 

 each, 6 for $8.50; select tested, $3.00 each. Queens

LATHAM'S queens are well-bred Italians. She- 

 Suits-Me Queens will please you. Get in your 

 order early. The discount of 20% will continue 

 till May 1, and will then be positively removed 

 for the season. Prices for untested queens from 

 May 15 to June 15, $2.00 each. 10 or more, $1.75 

 each. After June 15, $1.50 each for 1 to 9 ; $1.30 

 each for 10 to 24; $1.25 each for 25 to 49; $1.20 

 each for 50 to 99; $115 for 100 queens. See full 

 page advertisement on inner back cover of Janu- 

 ary Gleanings. That discount makes my prices 

 low. I offer the discount so that I can know in 

 advance the number of queens that I am to have 

 ready each month. When a queen-breeder knows 

 in advance, he can afford to give better prices, 

 since that knowledge permits him to produce his 

 queens at less cost. Allen Latham, Norwichtown, 

 Conn.
