CARNIOLANS

 the best of honey- gatherers, and their combs 

 are of snowy whiteness. We are wintering fifty 

 select imported and two hundred best select tested 

 Carniolan queens for early orders. ^ ^ Also 

 breeders of Golden and Leather Italians. One un- 

 tested queen, $1.00: six for $5.00; twelve for $9.00. 

 Tested, $1.50. Best breeder, $3.00. Best imported, 

 $5.00. Special prices on large orders. No foul brood 

 here. Bees and queens guaranteed to arrive in good 

 condition in U. S. or Canada. Descriptive list free. 



OUR SPECIALTY 



F. A. Lockhart & Co.— Last Friday I was in the 

 New York oflice of The A. I Root Co., and saw a three- 

 frame nucleus of Carniolan bees with queen, which 

 they had just received from you. They were the fin- 

 est Carniolans I ever saw, entirely free from any 

 trace of yellow markings, and I at once bought them, 

 though the Root people were not very anxious to sell 

 them. I am writing you to-day to ask if you can ship 

 me at once a three-frame nucleus of Carniolans with 

 plenty of drone brood. Send by express 1o me at 

 Columbia University. J. H. McGregor.
