BRED FOR QUALITY 



''The queens I ordered from you in 

 April are wonders. I liave never had more 

 prolific queens, and I have purchased 

 queens from over twelve breeders. She is 

 ]>rolific, brood as compact and even as a 

 brick wall. And her progeny are large, uni- 

 formly marked, medium-colored three bands. 



''Of tlie twelve breeders I have received 

 queens from, only three have stood the test 

 besides yours. Why? Simply because most 

 breeders breed for color. Your queens speak 

 for themselves. "^ — W. A. Holmberg, Denair,
