 commends them to the lover of bright color.

 pure matmg is guaranteed. The fastest trains stop 

 hei-e, and hence when you order (lueens they are not 

 away from the colony long enough to impair their 

 usefulness. The Ban.at bees are my specialty. They 

 are the best and gentlest bees in the world. They work 

 when others are idle and make snow-white comb. 

 Queen-breeders should secure their breeding-queens 

 from this pure stock, imported from Austria. Order 

 now. Laying Banat queen, $2.00; laying golden Italian 

 queen, 75 cts.; test'Pd queens, one year old, double these 

 prices; breeders from $5.00 to $15.00.
