is, as usual, again on hand with his SUPERIOR IMPROVED strain of ITALIAN BEES 

 and queens. The editor of Gleanings, in observing the handling of our bees last fall, re- 

 marked that "such stock is in great demand." Years ago we used to be obliged to buy- 

 bees each spring to keep us agoing; but now we sell perhaps a carload each season; get 

 tons of honey, and raise thousands of queens. We have bred our bees for business; they 

 have no superior either side of the ocean. For a dozen testimonials see our full-page adv't 

 in the Dec. 15th number of Gleanings, or ask for circulars.

 dozen. Tested, $1.00. or 111.00 a dozen. Select tested, 

 fl.50. Breeders. $3 00 to 85.00 each. I guarantee safe

I am offering to the honey- producers this year some 

 of the best Italian stock in Southern California. These 

 bees are not only extraordinary honey-gatherers, but 

 are also gentle, and build very little brace or burr 

 comb. They will bring in sage honey long after other 

 stock has stopped working on sage and gone to work 

 on sumac. They are, in fact, a good bee, and one which 

 I unreservedly guarantee. I sell only one grade — select 

 untested— as I do not sell any queen which is not select.
