Imperial Strain of Red 

 Clover Otieens. 



This is a happy New 

 Year to hundreds of my 

 customers who purchased 

 my Red Clover Qieen.s 

 the past season. Twenty- 

 two years is the length of 

 my experience in shipping 

 queens. See what this 

 prominent Bee-Keeper 

 saj'S.

 Mr. A. D. D. Wood: 

 Dear Sir, — I think you un- 

 derstand sending queens 

 by mail, for they come as 

 queens should:" looking 

 small, lively and not full 

 OK EGGS. They bred clear 

 up into October — a.l I could ask of' queens. I 

 will tell yon how they turn out, in 1902. Everv- 

 thing looks promising with them now. 



Yours very truly, GEO. B. HOWE. 

 Testimonials from prominent bee-men will 

 appear from time to time. I have hundreds of 

 queens whose workers actually work on rk;d 

 CLOVER FIRST .^ND SECOND CROP. See what 

 this practical farmer says: 



My RED CLOVER yields from 25 to 50 per cent. 

 more seed since your Red Clover bees were 

 put into my neighborhood. 

 Yours verv tiiilj'. 



SAMUEIv TUCKER. Dew;tt, :\Iich. 

 ;My clover workers were storing white honey, 

 while some hj-brids that were still lelt in the 

 colonies where new qvieens were just put in, 

 were storing buckwheat hotiey; this alone proves 

 to the up-to date bee-keeper that the extra cost 

 of requeening will pay many times the purchase 

 price of Red Clover Queens. 



All queens bred from i.mported mothers, 

 whose progeny have been tested as to length of 

 tongue and honej- gathering. They are as gen- 

 tle as flies, yet not as dark as in former years. 

 Oueens are of a bronze color - workers rich 



YELLOW. 



All queens are guaranteed to reach their des- 

 tination in good condition, in the United States, 

 Canada and adjjceut Islands where queens can 

 be sent by mail. 



Send your order now, and pay when queens 

 are ready to ship; will commence delivering 

 about June loth. 



The price will be $1.00 each, in June, for un- 

 untested; $2.00 for tested: $10.00 per doz., untest- 

 ed, S2J.0O per doz. tested. After July ist, 75c 

 lor untested. Si. 50 for tested.
