ROSE LAWN QUEENS 



ABHASIANS : In order to distinguish our superior 

 Caucasians of the genuine imported Abhasian stock 

 from the common dark Caucasian, we have termed 

 them ■■ ABHASIANS." These are the YELLOW 

 CAUCASIANS and possess all the valuable character- 

 istics of the race in addition to their color, which 

 commends them to the lover of bright color. 



Untested queens. $1.50; tested, $2.00. 



BAN ATS : The backward season renders it impos- 

 sible to ship these before July. Choice untested 

 queens from imported stock, at $2.00. 



ABHASIANS OR BAN ATS imported direct to cus- 

 tomer, $6.00.
