Queens 



My specialty is queen-rearing 

 I rear two strains only— I.,oiig- 

 tongue Red-clover Three-handed 

 and the Golden Five -banders 

 that work red 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 best satisfaction I insure all to be purely mated. 

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

 $1 ) each. My former address was Caryville, Tenn., 

 but my queen trade has doubled for several years and 

 I have moved to Texas. Remit by postal money order 

 to Daniel Wurth, Karnes City, Karnes Co., Texas.
