284 THE BEE-KEEPERS' REVIEW 



Of 



Willow Herb 

 Honey 



This year we are able to offer our customers a 

 honey that is somewhat of a noveUy — that gathered 

 from the great WiHow Herb. 



This plant is a species of fireweed, resembling, 

 somewhat, the garden phlox, that springs up in the 

 wake of forest fires in a few localities in the extreme 

 northern part of the United States. 



In two or three years it is usually crowded out by 

 other plants, but, while it holds sway, it furnishes an 

 abundant yield of the whitest, sweetest honey we have 

 ever tasted. The flavor is mild, but has a delightful 

 suggestion of piqviant spiciness. 



We are securing a bountiful crop of this hone}* in 

 Northern Michigan. As usual, we are leaving it on 

 the hives until it is all sealed over and thoroughly 

 ripened — thick, rich and delicious. 



We are putting it up in new, 6o-pound, square 

 tin cans, and offering it at ten cents a pound — :|>6.oo 

 for a can. 



We will mail a sample of this honey for ten cents, 

 and the ten cents may apply on any order sent in.
