THE PERSISTENCY 



which we exercise in the careful selection from year 

 to year of only the choicest breeding queens has 

 brought the Robey strain of Italians up to the highest 

 standard of excellence as regards their docility, pro- 

 lificness, and honey-gathering qualities. 



This particular strain is the progeny of selections 

 from choice stock of Root's red-clover queens, and 

 Moore's crossed with the very best of our own rearing. 



WARRANTED QUEENS: 



Each, 75 cents; six, Sl-25; dozen, $8.00.
