THE ROOT QUEEN-REARING OUTFIT. 



In this outfit are embraced the best points of the best 

 systems in use. It will give satisfaction to the ama 

 teur as we'l as the expert. The cell-cups are made of 

 wood, wax-coated. No melted wax is used in their 

 manipulation, as they are attached to the cell-stick by 

 means of a small nail-point. 



The nursery cage combines the features ot nursery 

 and introducing cages. By their use a queen can be re 

 leased on the candy plan or caged in the hive as desired. 



In connection with the outfit goes a booklet on queen- 

 rearing— one which ought to put the veriest amateur on 

 the high road to success. Outfit comprises three cell-
