PERFECT QUEENS 



My queens took first prize at the State Fair, in Nov., 

 1902. I have piles of testimonials fiom leading bee- 

 men to the good qualities of the qneen^I sent out last 

 season. Under datf of July 3, UKi'i F. A. Lockhart, of 

 Caldwell. N. Y., writes: " i he doz queens arrived all 

 alive, and are a FINK LOT; '"and again later on, "We 

 like your stock, it is O. K " 



I am adding e.xteusively to my queen rearing plant, 

 breeding in separate apiaries Golden and Leather- 

 colored Italians (hotli strains are red-clover workers), 

 Carniolanr. and llolv-lands. ot ch )icest strains. My 

 Golden stock is from one of Doolittle's choicest breed- 

 ers All my queens are raised under the best possible 

 conditions, from extra-good honey-gathertrs. Queens 

 ordered now will be ma led when desired. Untested, 

 fl.(H). or Jil.OO per dozen; tested, tH.2o; a few choice 

 breeders at $2 50 each.
