CHOICEST QUEENS 



He has rievelopeii n systeni of queen-rearing that contains all the best poin's of other methods with none of *he defect?:, in. 

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

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

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

 duce queens of a higher development than c^n be reared by the ordinary methods in vogue, and also to an improved method 

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

 culls, and the highest grade of queens in the untested and tested classes, ihese queens will be reared from a superior 

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