NOTICE! 



This Is the last time this ad appears for this season, so hurry 

 in your orders. Will send queens by return mail so long as they 

 last. Remember Quirin=the = queen-breeder for another season. 



A FEW TESTinONIALS. 



p. F. Meritt. of No. i:^ Breckenridge St., I,ex- 

 ingtoii, Kv.. writes: The bee.s sent me last July 

 did splendidly. Kach colony has at least 75 lbs. 

 of honey — prettj- good for two-frame nuclei. 



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

 me six more queens, the 48 sent nie last spring 

 are hustlers. 



Mr. Win. 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 Sir. . which is said to 



outstrip all others. Your stock e.xcels in profit- 

 able results as well as in beautv. 



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 give it our undivided attention, and rear as taany queens (perhaps 

 morel as any breeder in ihe North. No order is too large for us, as we keep 300 to SOO on hand ready 

 to mail. Send all orders to 



Quirin=the=Queen=Breeder, ''^'^S^" 



Victor's Superior 

 Italians 



goby return mail again. Owing to several 

 large queen contracts, a contract for a solid 

 carload of bees that went to Colorado, 85 

 three-frame nuclei to same State, numerous 

 smaller orders for bees, and a good queen 

 trade, it has been necessary for me to cut 

 out my ad. for the past three months to keep 

 from being swamped with orders. I am 

 glad to notify m}' patrons that I am at last 

 able to fill orders promptly with as fine 

 queens as ever headed a colony, regardless 

 of their source, at the following reasonable 

 prices : 



1 Untested queen, 75c; six, $4.00. 

 1 Select untested queen, 90c ; six, SS.OO. 

 1 Tested queen, $1.00 ; six, $6.00. 

 1 Select tested queen. Si. 50 ; six, $8.50. 

 Breeders, S3 00 to S7.00 — these are as 

 good as the best.
