demons' strain of three-bamled Italians has 

 no equal. Mr. M. R. Juckett, Poultney. Vt., 

 writes : *' I have queens from seven different 

 breeders, and yours are the only ones which 

 have produeed honey in the sections." 



Mr. N. L. Stevens, president of New York Bee- 

 Keepers' Society, Moravia, N. Y., who purchased 

 of me in 1907, 46 of my cheapest untested Tiueens, 

 writes Jan. 22, i909: *' The cjueens I purchased of 

 you in 1907 proved very satisfactory. I bought 

 over 300 <iueens that season from 10 different 

 breeders, an<l your liees averaged the best of 

 any of them the past season, anrl only one strain 

 was a close competitor. Your bees built up very 

 rapidly, and were good honey-patherers," 



Why pay a high price lor the common kind 

 when others reporr such results? If you doo't 

 try a few of my queens we shall both lose money.

Celluloid ftueen-Buttons 



ThLSC are very iirctty things for bee-keep- 

 ers or honry-si-'lliTs t<i wear on their co.it- 

 lanels. They often serve to introduce the 

 subiect of honey, wliicli might frequently 

 lead to a sale. 



Note. — One bec-keeiier writes: "I have 

 every reason to believe that it would be a 

 very k'ood idea for every bee- 

 ''^1 JA .s\. I<'''lier to wear one [of these 

 _p \3gy ^t\ bultoris], as it will cause rieo- 

 -(M pie to ask questions about 

 -^ tile busy bee. and many a 

 _.,,„.,_ , convi-rsation thus started 

 ^% /Wm\ ^/ v/\nd up with the sale of 

 ■S> »^ .^/ more or less honey; at any 

 rate it would give the bee- 

 keerier a superior opportu- 

 nity toenliirhten many a person in regard to 

 honey and bees." 



The picture shown above is a reproduc- 

 tion of a motto queen-button that we offer 

 to beekeepers. It has a pin on the under- 

 si<l(.' to f.isten it.
