QUEEN 



Golden Italian & 

 Leather Colored 



w arra:uc(i to give satisfaction, those are the kind reared by Qulrin"the=Queen=Breeder. We guarantee 

 every queen .'icnt out to plea.'^e yon. or it may be returned inside of 60 days and another will be sent 

 "gratis." Our business was establi^lied in 1888, our stock orif^inated from the best and highest-priced 

 Long-tongued Rcd=clover Breeders in the L'. S. We send out fine queens, and send them promptly 

 We gnarante ; 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., 

 .'iays that he secured over -ItX) pounds of honej- (mostly comb), from single colonies containing our queens! 



A FEW TESTiaONIALS. 



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

 ington, Ky., writes: The b^-es sent me l.ist July 

 did splenuidly. Each coloi^y has at least 75 lbs. 

 of honey — pretty good for two-frame nuclei. 



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

 me 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 tlie same kind. 



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



excels the strain of isir. , which is said to 



on;st:ipall 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. 



Queen-rearing is our specialty; we giveit our undivided attention, and rear as manv queens (perhaps 

 moret as any breeder in the North. No order is too large for us, as we keep 300 to 500 on hand ready 

 to mail. Send all orders to

Strong Testimony in Favor of 



Moore's Strain of Italians 



Prof. Frank Benton, of Washington, D. C. whose 

 name is familiar to all progressive apiarists, saj's : 



"I have several times, in the course of correspon- 

 dence, and in conversing with beekeepers, had occa- 

 sion to answer the question : ' Where can the best Ital- 

 ians be got ? ' It is, perhaps, not an easy thing to saj% 

 with certainty, but at least I have felt I might be able 

 to tell where GOOD ones could be obtained. A num- 

 ber have been referred to you, for. although I have 

 not tested your stock personally, I thought I knew 

 pretty well, from general reputation, its character. A 

 bee-keeper near here— Geo. A. L,anphear, of Vienna, 

 Va.— who got some queens of you on \\\y recommen- 

 dation is so well pleased with them— in fact, gives 

 your bees such a good recommendation to me for 

 gentleness and working qualities, particularlv their 

 working on red clover, that I thought I would 'like to 

 try some myself." 



I was not aware that Prof. Benton was recommend- 

 ing my stock until I received the above letter. Such 

 testimony as this certainly has great weight, and 

 shows why my business has' grown so fast.

My 2:il00 breeder was awarded a $i'),(X) prize by The 

 A. I. Root Co. for producing bees showing the longest 

 tongue-reach on record. Competition was open to the 

 whole world. 



I am now filling orders by return mail, and shall 

 probably be able to do so till 'the close of the season.

Queens 



Mj' specialty is queen-rearing 

 I rear two strains only — I^ong- 

 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 

 countrj;, all things considered. 

 I furnish more dealers with 

 queens than any other breeder 

 in this countrj'. 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, 

 $1.00 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 mohe\' order 

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

 lent. My apiary stocked with j-our Leather (\\xee\\s are 

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

 May, and in September I took 285 lbs. of h'ney, 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 I^eather queens.— yoj<?//! Farnsworth, Idaho Falls,
