Pure Italian Queens in State of Washington! 



My friends and patrons I wish to thank for their 

 many kind words; my aim is to do still better. Mis- 

 mating will be rare if ever. I keep only pure stock. 

 Have imported queens from some of the most promi- 

 nent breeders, and queens are reared by the natural- 

 swarming process. Prices in May and June: Tested, 

 $1.50; untested, |1 00; after June, 2-5 cts. less for either.
