 essary — it is simply the most complete st 

 and practical bee-book publisht to-day.

 the whole bee-world to require any introduction.

 stantial cloth binding, we propose to give away

ALFALFA 

 HONEY...,.., 



This is the famous White 

 Extracted Honey gathered in 

 the great Alfalfa regions of 

 the Central West. It is a 

 splendid honey, and nearly 

 everybod.v who cares to eat 

 honey at all can't get enough 

 of the Alfalfa extracted. 



BASSWOOD 

 HONEY....... 



Thi! 



the well - ko 



light-colored honey gathered 

 from the rich, nectar-laden 

 basswood blossoms iu Wis- 

 consin. It has a stronger 

 flavor than Alfalfa, and is 

 preferred by those who like a 

 distinct flavor in their honey. 



We have a good stock of the fine WHITE ALFALFA and 

 WHITE BASSWOOD EXTRACTED HONEY that we can ship by 

 return freight. Most bee-keepers must have sold all their last year's 

 crop long before now, and will be ready to get more with which to 

 supply their customers. All who have had any acquaintance with 

 tlie above-named honeys know how good they are. Why not order 

 at once, and keep your trade supplied? 



Prices of Either Alfalfa or Basswood Honey : 



iFor the purpose of selling again.; 

 A sample of either, by mail, 8 cents ; samples of both, IS cents — 

 to pay for package and postage. By freight — one 60-pound can, 9yi 

 cents per pound ; two cans, 9 cents per pound; four or more cans, 

 8,'2 cents per pound. Cash must accompany each order. If ordering 

 two or more cans you can have half of each kind of honey, if you so 

 desire. The cans are bost. This is all 



Absolutely Pure Bees' Honeyp 



The fiuest of their kinds produced iu this country. 



Read Dr. Miller's Testimony on Alfalfa Honey : 



I've iust sampled the honey you s 

 I'm something of a heretic, to sell seve 

 duction and then buy honey of you for 

 be to the honey of his own region, there 

 kind of hot drink, where one prefers the 



t, and it'! 

 1 thousand pi

 But however loyal one 

 lenying the fact that fo 

 wholesome honey to suga 



I feel that 

 nn pro- 

 ught to 



se in anv 



xcellent quality of alfalfa honey I have received from you is better suited than the 

 honevs of more markt flavor, according to my taste. C. C. Miller. 



McHenry Co., 111. 



Order the Above Honey and then Sell It. 



We would suggest that those bee-keepers who did not produce 



enough honey for their home demand this year, just order some of 



the above, and sell it. And others, who want to earn some money, 



can get this honey and work up a demand for it almost anywhere.
