QUEENS OF SUPREME QUALITY. 



.Tun think of it. r)n!y ^1 for one of my 

 liright three-banded northern-bred Italian 

 queens, after 19 years of select breeding. I 

 have produced a strain of bees that get the 

 honey and stand the northern winters. Last 

 year every order was filled by return mail. 

 Exiject to do the same this year. This is 

 the kind of letters I receive daily: 



"Dear Mr. Major: How early in spring 

 could you fill an order for one dozen Ital- 

 ian queens ? My experience and observa- 

 tion with your strain of Italians have 

 shown them to be extremely gentle, supe- 

 rior as workers and unexcelled in the 

 beautifully white and even capping of the 

 honey. Yours very truly, 



''Orel L. Hershiser."' 



Mr. Hershiser is one of our state inspectors 

 and has been a beekeeper almost all his life; 

 also inventor of the Hershiser wax-press. 

 Does he know good bees when he sees 

 them? Does a duck swim? I guarantee pure 

 mating, safe arrival, free from disease and 

 health certificate furnished with each ship- 

 ment.
