ROSE LAWN QUEENS 



ABH ASIANS : 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.

"Better than an Island" Queens 



There are no other bees within five miles, and so 

 pure mating is guaranteed. The fastest trains stop 

 here, and hence when you order queens they are not 

 away from the colony long enough to impair their 

 usefulness. The Banat 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. ; tested queens, one year old, double these 

 prices; breeders from $5.00 to $15.00.

3-BANDED ITALIAN BEES. 



The best all-round bees on earth. My stock is 

 composed of selections from my own strain of 

 3-banded Italians that were awarded diploma at 

 the Pan-American Exposition, and The A. I. 

 Root Co. clover stock. 



Tested queens, $1.50; select tested queens, $2.00; 

 fair breeding queens, $3.00; extra select breeders, 

 $5.00 — ready to go promptly. Untested 1907 

 queens, $1.00; select untested queens, $1.25— ready 

 early in March. Yours for a prosperous 1907.
