Warranted Queens. 



L. H. Robey, Dear Sir: — Enclosed find one dollar and 

 twenty cents ($1 20) for which you will please send me 

 two ("i) warranted queens. The queens you sent me 

 last year have proved to be excellent. I introduced one 

 into a three- frame nucleus on Aug. 22, 1902, and on Aug. 

 25, 1903, I took 228 lbs. of comb honey, leaving 10 Hoff- 

 man frames in the brood-chamber for the coming 

 winter; that is very good for a nucleus. Be sure to 

 give my street number, 525 Dakota St., for the tjueens 

 j'ou sent me las' year were carried to another Wm. 

 Zimmerman, and I did not get them until the next 

 day. Wm Zimmerman.

 tinued, will please drop us a card at once; otherwise 

 we shall assume that he wishes his journal continued,

 this plan may have his journal stopped after the time

E.'^RLY-GRDER DISCOUNTS. 



Applying to the new prices in effect this date, we 

 offer the following discounts for early orders. There 

 is a great gain to those who are forehanded, and order 

 their next season's requirements early in the fall or 

 winter over the one who waits till the eleventh hour 

 in the spring before placing his order. He can get his 

 hives nailed and painted, and filled with fixtures; dur- 

 ing the leisure time in winter, prepare supers, sec- 

 tions, and even shipping-cases, in readiness for the 

 busy months of spring. He has the goods on hand 

 when needed, and can take full advantage of the 

 honey-flow when it comes, W^e also allow a discount 

 that will more than pay the interest on his money in- 

 vested in the supplies a few months before they are 

 actually needed. Many passed an unfavorable expe- 

 rience through the past season in being disappointed 

 in getting goods promptly when most needed in the 

 spring. Manufacturers were crowded beyond their 

 capacity to supply the goods needed with promptness, 

 in spite of unusual preparation. For these and other 

 reasons which might be stated vs e urge every one, as 

 far as possible, to place orders early, and profit by the 

 following discounts 



On orders accompanied by remittance received dur- 

 ing .September, deduct 7 per cent; during October, de- 

 duct 6 per cent; November, 5 per cent; December, 4 

 per cent; Januarj-, 3 per cent; February, 2 per cent. 

 After February, no discount. This applies to all gen- 

 eral orders for next season's use at regular prices, 

 with the following exceptions: 



Glass and tin honey-packages of all kinds; scales, 

 books, burlap, rubber stamps, labels, wheelbarrows, 

 lawn-mowers, bushel boxes, bees and queens, and all 

 goods listed in special catalogs and circulars other 

 than our general catalog of bee-keepers' supplies. 

 The discount is intended to apply mainly to hives, 

 frames, foundation, sections, sectioii-holders, separat- 

 ors, fences, shipping-cases, extractors, smokers, and 

 other bee-keepers' requisites too numerous to men- 

 tion, listed in our catalog before page 26, including 

 pages 28 35, and 36.
