AMERICAN HONEY PLANTS 



sell here at from \'/j to 2 cents per finger or pod. Estimating fruit at 

 25 fingers per bunch and the bunches at 25 cents each — which, you see, 

 is a low estimate for both, the result will be a barrel of nectar, or $170 

 worth of fruit per acre. How does this showing compare with other 

 cultivated plants as combined honey and money crop?"
