THE BEEKEEPERS' REVIEW 471 



QUEENS OF QUALITY 



The Editor of The Beekeepers' Review and his sons have 1100 colonies of bees worked for 

 extracted honey. With all those bees working with equal advantage, all having the same care 

 and attention, they have an opportunity unexcelled to ascertain without a reasonable doubt, 

 colonies desirable as breeders from a honey producer's standpoint. Likely, never in the history 

 of beekeeping, were there a better opportunity to test out the honey getting strain of bees than 

 this. Think of it, 1100 colonies with equal show, and a dozen of those colonies storing 250 to 

 275 pounds of surplus honey this last poor (with us) season, while the average of the entire 

 1100 being not more than 40 pounds per colony. We have sent two of our very best breeding 

 queens (their colonies producing 275 pounds surplus each, during the season of '.:)l^) to John M. 

 Davis, and two to Ben G. Davis, both of Spring Hill, Tenn. and they will breed queens for the 

 Review during the season of 1916, from those four superior honey gathering breeding queens. 

 Those young queens will be mated with their thoroughbred drones. Our stock is of the three 

 banded strain of Italian, also that of John M. Davis, while Ben G. Davis breeds that disease 

 resisting strain of Goldens, that is becoming so popular. 



By this time you are likely thinking that your strain of bees may be improved some by the 

 addition of this superior strain of Review queens and how you can secure one or more of those 

 superior honey gathering queens as a breeder : We will tell you : They will be sold to none 

 except Review subscribers. If you are a paid-in-advance subscriber to the Review for 1916, 

 we will mail you one of the daughters of those favorite queens in June for a dollar. If not a 

 subscriber to the Review for 1916, send $1.75 for a year's subscription to the Review and one of 

 those famous young queens. Those queens are well worth two dollars each, compared to the 

 price usually charged for ordinary queens, but we are not trying to make money out of this 

 proposition, only we are anxious to have every reader continue during 1916 a subscriber of the 

 Review and we are taking this way to accomplish the object. A few of the very fii-st orders for 

 queens that we receive can be mailed in May, but the majority will not be mailed until June. 

 Orders filled in rotation. Have your oi'der booked early and avoid disappointment.

 ROUND SCREW CAP HONEY JARS 



We have just made arrangements with the Federal Glass Co., Columbus, Ohio so we can 

 furnish National members and subscribers with a first class screw cap honey jar. The jars, 

 and especially the screw caps are well made. The jars are of clear white Flint glass and the 

 caps are Lacquerd, not the cheap tin caps usually sold on such jars. As our "without profit" 

 selling price is so low, one is inclined to think the good? may not be up to standard, but we 

 assure our member-subscriber that there is none better to be had at any price than the jars 

 listed below. 



The following sizes are approximately the amount each will hold of ordinary honey, and 

 may vary an ounce one way or the other. 



15 oz. Tall Honey Jar, 2 doz. in a paper re-shipping case per gross $3.25 



ly^ lbs. Tall Honey Jar, 2 doz. in a paper re-shipping case, per gross 3.50

 bear this in mind when ordering and address all orders to

Beekeeping 



Dr. E. F. Phillips' new book Beekeeping; edited by L. H. Bailey is the latest out. It con- 

 tains 457 pages divided into 24 chapters with Appendix and is illustrated with 190 engravings. 

 While the author says the book is not intended as a text book, still it covers nearly the whole 

 ground of beekeeping, ard much of it from a scifitific standpoint. The fact that it is the pro- 

 duction of our Dr. Phillips of the Department of Agriculture, Washington, D. C. is guarantee 

 enough that the book is authentic, so one need not hesitate about reading it with the expecta- 

 tion of being well paid for the time spent in doing so. It is published by The MacMillan Co., 

 New York, price $2.00, postage extra. It can be had through the Review office at the above 

 price. 



We have made arrangements with the publishers so we can club "Beekeeping" with the 

 Review a year, both for only $2.25 but to get this very clo'^e price postage must be included on 

 two pounds from New York City. Your postmaster can tell you the parcel post rate to New 

 York on 2 lbs. Address with remittance.
