J. E. HAND will begin the season of 1909 with improved facilities for rearing the 



CHOICEST QUEENS 



He has develope'l a syslem of queen-rearing th at contains all the best points of other methods with none of the defects, in- 

 eluding some valuable improvements of his own — in short, a system through which the highest queen development is 

 reached by correct and scientific principles, which means that he is now in position to oiTer to the bee-keeping public a 

 higher grade of queens than is usually offered in the common utility classes, owing to scientific methods which pro- 

 fhice queens of ,i higher development than can be reared by the ordinary method? in vogue, and also to an improved method 

 ot classifying queens which strikes the word select from our list, and gives a square deal to all. No selects means no 

 culls, and the Iiighest grade of queens in the untested and tested classes. These queens will be reared from a superior 

 strain of hardy Northern-bred red clover Italians, "the very best," and will be safely delivered to any address in the 

 United States. Cuba. Canada or Mexico, atihe following prices; Untested, $1.25: 3. j:?.00. Warranted. $1.50r 3, $4.00.
