QUEENS 



Warranted to give satisfaction, those are the kind reared by Quirin=the=Queen=Breeder. We guarantee 

 every queen sent out to please you, or it may be returned inside of 60 days and another will be sent 

 "gratis." Our business was established in 1888, our stock originated from the best and highest-priced 

 Long=^tongued Red=clover Breeders in the U. S. We send out fine queens, and send them promptly. 

 We guarantee safe delivery to any State, continental island, or European Country. 



, The A. I. Root Co. tells us that our stock is extra fine, while the editor of the American Bee Journal 

 says that he has good reports from our stock, from time to time. Dr. J. I,. Gandy, of Humboldt, Nebr., 

 says that he secured over 100 pounds of honey (mostly comb), from single colonies containing our queens. 



A FEW TESTinONIALS. 



P. F. Meritt, of No. 13 Breckenridge St., I,ex- 

 ington, Ky., writes: The bees sent me last July 

 did splendidly. Each colony has at least 75 lbs. 

 of honey — pretty good for two-frame nuclei. 



Mr. J. Roorda, of Demotte, Ind., writes: Send 

 tne six more queens, the 48 sent me last spring 

 are hustlers. 



Mr. Wm. Smiley, of Glasgow, Pa , writes: 

 Your bees beat all the rest, now send me a breed- 

 er of the same kind. 



A. Norton, Monterey, Calif., writes: Your stock 



excels the strain of Mr. , which is said to 



outstrip all others. Your stock excels in profit- 

 able results as well as in beauty. 



Price of Queens Before July First. 



Add the price of whatever queen is wanted to that 

 of nuclei. Our nuclei build up fast, and if not pur- 

 chased too late will make some surplus. 



Oneer-rearing is our specialty; w^e give it our undivided attention, and rear as many queens (perhaps 

 more) ns any breeder in the North. No order is too large for us, as we keep 3(X) to 500 on hand ready 

 to mail. Send all orders to

Queen 



My specialty is queen-rearing 

 I rear two strains only — I,ong- 

 f tongue Red-clover Three-banded 

 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 anj' 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, |1 25— after April, 

 $1 0) 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.

Laws' Holy Land Queens. 



IV. H. Laws: — Your queens have proved to be excel- 

 lent. My apiary stocked with your Leather queens are 

 a sight to behold during a honey-flow, and the Coldens 

 are beyond description in the line of beauty. Yours 

 are the best for comb honey I ever saw. I want more 

 this spring — E. A. Ribble, Ronton, Tex., Feb. 79, 190J. 



IV. H. Laws: — The 75 queens (I,eather) from you are 

 dandies. I introduced one into a weak nucleus in 

 May, and in September I took 285 lbs. of honey, leav- 

 ing 48 lbs for winter. My crop of honey last season 

 was 48,(X)0 lbs. I write you for prices on 50 nuclei and 

 150 L,eather queens.— yo.f^/A Farnswortk, Idaho Falls,
