Golden Italian Queens 



Mr. Beekeeper, do you want the best queens that money can buy ? If so 

 try this strain of Goldens that for fifteen years has been a leader. All queens 

 reared from superior Golden mothers and mated with select Golden drones; 

 are large, vigorous and prolific; the bees gentle and hustlers, and are noted 

 throughout the United States as a disease-resisting strain. Mated from 

 strong nuclei, three to five full Langstroth frames. Safe arrival (U. S. and 

 Can.) purity of mating and satisfaction guaranteed. Write for descriptive 

 circular.

My father bought queens from you over thirty years ago. They were good ones. 



S. D. House. Caniilus, N. Y., June 12, 1912. 

 I have some fifty of your queens that you sold to F. Farr last season, and for beauty, hard- 

 iness and good honey gathering qualities, they are second to none among our 1,200 colonies. 



M. A. Gill, Longmont, Colo., July 7th, 1903. 

 Six years ago I got six queens from you ; they were the finest I ever saw. The six colonies 

 averaged 185 pounds of comb honey. 



James I. Davis, Lincoln, Neb., May 24, 1909. 

 I have one of your queens first year making me seven finished cases ; second year, five cases, 

 and this year, two cases at time of supercedure, July 10.
