Our folks say that your queens are extra fine. 



The A. I. Root Co., Medina, Ohio 



We have good reports from your stock from time to 

 time. George W. York & Co., Chicago, 111. 



On every hand I hear good words of Quirin's queens. 

 B. S. K. Bennett, Los Angeles, Cal. 



Your queens did finely. It was one I purchased last 

 year that gave me over 600 pounds of honey. 



J. L. Gandy, Humboldt, Neb. 



The breeder! is surely a very fine one: her daughters 

 do grandly. Campbell & West, Hartstown, Pa. 



I had a queen of you last year which produced bees 

 that beat anything ever seen in this part of the coun- 

 try. E. L. Messenger, New Haven, Conn. 



The nuclei you sent J. A. Adams did just splendidly. 

 Each colony stored at least 75 pounds of honey. 



F. P. Merritt. 13 Breckenridge St., Lexington, Ky. 



A few years ago I bought a queen from you which 

 proved to be the best I had for years. H. C. Shirley, 

 Cashier of Liberty Bank, Liberty, S. C. 



I have had the pleasure of seeing the results of your 

 queens at Mr. George W. Stanley's apiary, at Scuflle- 

 town, Ky., and that is why I am ordering this half- 

 dozen. C. W. Brenner, Newburg, Ind. 



I bought a queen from a neighbor last year who said 

 he got her from you. She made me 193 sections of 

 honey after July 4th — the best my other queens did was 

 64 sections. C. E. Woodington, St. Anne, 111. 



With great respect I write to you in regard to your 

 dealing and queens. If you want any references you 

 can refer to me, as I can't recommend you too highly. 

 Your queens are the best I ever saw. I have one hive of 

 bees among my 45 colonies containing a queen from 

 you that $50.00 will not buy. 



Morris Coon, Route 2, Locke, N. Y. 



The two-frame nucleus you sent me was put in a hive 

 May 25th. In July I brushed a swarm; had a swarm in 

 August, and took off 75 boxes of honey. I consider this 

 a wonderful record. I had four nuclei from different 

 parts of the country, and yours was far superior to any 

 of them. They are very gentle, easy to handle, hustlers 

 to'rwork. All bees and queens needed by me will here- 

 after come from Quirin-the- queen- breeder, Bellevue, O. 

 S. A Peck. Box 124, Northumberland, Pa. 



Safe delivery and satisfaction guaranteed 

 of all queens. Any queen not satisfactory 

 may be returned any time inside of sixty 

 days and another will be sent gratis.
