Quoins 



My specialty is queen-rearing 

 I rear two strains onlj- — Long- 

 tongue Red-clover Three-banded 

 and the Golden Five - banders 

 that work ted clover as well as 

 the three-banders. These two 

 strains are the best bees in this 

 country, all things considered. 

 I furnish more dealers with 

 queens than any other breeder 

 in this country. Why? Because 

 the queens give their customers 

 the be.st satisfaction I insure all to lie purely mated. 

 Untested, 75c each; tested, in April, 81 25-after April, 

 $10) each. My former address was Caryville, Tenn., 

 but my queen trade has doubled for several years and 

 I have moved to Texas. Remit bv postal money order
