and nothing but Italians; an improved superior strain is wiiat Quiriri' 

 the"Queen-Bre©der fui-nishes. 20 years' experience. A letter before us from a 

 Pacific-coast bee-keeper tells us that by the use of our queens he has become one of the most 

 extensive honey-producers of his State, and that he expects to put in 1000 young queens in 

 '07, and he says the bulk of them will come from Quirin'the*Qu@en'Breeder. 

 We are a honey-producer; our stock is bred for business. Try our stock and be convinced. 

 The editor, in observing some of our stock, made the remark that such bees are in great 

 demand. Circular and list of testimonials free.
