Quality and Price 



are the two things that influence you in 

 the purchase of supplies; and no firm in this 

 country makes more perfect goods than those 

 made by the G. B. L,ewis Co , while the price is 

 no higher than for other makes. In addition to 

 this, parties living in 



J^ichigan 



can save in freight charges by getting these 

 goods of the Michigan agent, 



U. C. WOODJVIflrl, 



Grand Rapids, Mich. 



Send for circular — then order supplies early 

 and get the discount allowed on early orders. 



We are headquarters for the 



Albino J©ees, 



the best in the world. If you are looking for 

 bees that gather the most honej-. and are the 

 gentlest of all bees, buy the .-Vlbinos. I can also 

 furnish Italians, but orders stand 50 to 1 in favor 

 of the Albino. Select tested Albino queens, be- 

 fore June ist, for breeding, 54.00; tested; $2.50; 

 untested, 51.00. Italians, 5i-00. 



I have located an apiary near Rocky Ridge, 

 Md., and most of my queens will be shipped 

 from Rocky Ridge. Other t-upplies will be ship- 

 ped from Hagerstown, Md. Address me at 

 Rocky Ridge, Md., for queens.

VICTOR'S 



Strain of Italians Awarded the Diploma as Being 

 the Best Bees at the Pan American 



See what Mr. Orel L. Hershiser, Supt. of the Apiarian Dept. says of them. 



BuFFAi.0, N. Y. August 30th, 1901. 



My dear Victor: — Queen and nucleus arrived safely yesterday; made entrance to 

 nucleus and allowed them to fly yesterday P. M. Transferred them to Dovetailed hive 

 this morning without smoke, and handled them, patting them on the back, and I 

 never saw such quiet and docile bees. If their working qualities are as superior as 

 their handling, I am prepared to ?,z.y you have the best bees I ever met\ which would 

 include some 25 or 30 different breeders and all the well known races. 



Yours truly, OREL L. HERSHISER. 



Mr. \V. Z. Hutchinson, President of the National Bee-Keepers' Association, and 

 judge of the bee-e.xhibit at the Pan American, says. 



Friend Victor: — Yours of the 30th ult came duly to hand. Yes; your bees were 

 awarded a diploma, which was the highest award made to an individual exhibitor. 

 I don't know as I can make any particular statement in regard to your bees, except 

 that they pleased me the best of any that were there. 



As ever yours, W. Z. HUTCHINSON. 



I am still booking orders for queens of this superior strain, at catalogue prices, 

 for spring deliver^'. First come, first served. Send for price lists. 



W. 0. Victor, (4Stj Wliarton, Texas.
