50,000 Copies "Honey as a Health-Food" 

 To Help Increase the Demand for Honey 



We have had printed an edition of over 50,000 copies of the 16-page pamphlet on 

 " Honey as a Health-Food." It is envelope size, and just the thing to create a local demand 

 for honey. 



The first part of it contains a short article on " Honey as Food," written by Dr. C. C, 

 Miller. It tells where to keep honey, how to liquefy it, etc. The last is devoted to "Honey 

 Cooking Recipes " and "Remedies Using Honey." It should be widely circulated by those 

 selling honey. The more the people are educated on the value and uses of honey as a food, 

 the more honey they will buy. 



Prices, prepaid-Sample copy for a 2-cent stamp : 50 copies for 90 cents ; 100 copies for 

 $1.50; 250 copies for $3.00 ; 500 for $5.00 ; or 1000 for $9.00. Your business card printed free at the 

 bottom of front pane on all orders for 100 or more copies.

Sweet Clover Seed ! 



Sweet Clover is rapidly becoming one of 

 the most useful tliint'S tliat can be yrown on 

 the farm. Its value as a honey-plant is well 

 known to bee-keepers, but its worth as a 

 forat.'e-|)latit and also as an enriclier of the 

 soil are not so widely known. However. 

 .Sweet (-'lover is coniiiik' to the front very 

 fast these clays. Some years a^o it was con- 

 sidered as a weed by those who knew no 

 better. The former attitude of the enlik'ht- 

 ened farmer today is chancing to a i;reat re- 

 spect for and appreciation of .Sweet Clover. 



l>oth as a food for stock and as a valuable 

 fertilizer for iioor and worn out soils. 



There are two kinds of Sweet Clover. One 

 is the Wiiite variety which trrows sometimes 

 as tall as fi to 7 feet. 'l"he other is the Yellow, 

 which yrows i>erhaps as high as 2 to ^ feet. 

 The latter blooms from 3 to 4 weeks ahead 

 of the White, which (the VVhilei begins 

 bloomini: in the latitude of Chicago about 

 July 1st, and contimics in profuse bloom 

 until frost kills it off. It is one of the best 

 nectar-yielders known, and the honey pro- 

 duced from it is second to none. 



One beauty about White .Sweet Clover is 

 that it will crow on altnost any kind of land. 

 Tlu' rougher antl apparently most worthless 



the better. The seed can be scattered in 

 waste-places, when it will grow of itself, 

 without cullivalion. It is a biennial ; that is, 

 dying out after the second year if not re- 

 seeded. It is one of the easiest plants to get 

 rid of. if desired, by simply mowing it before 

 the seed is matured. Of course, bee keep- 

 ers want it to go to seed, for then the bees 

 will get all the nectar that is in the blos- 

 soms. 



The seed can be sown any time from now 

 until next April or May. From 18 to 20 

 pounds per acre of the unhulled seed is 

 about the right quantity to sow. The seed 

 is not yet as plentiful as it might be. for the 

 reason that a good mau\' who could gather it 

 don't know its value, or that there is a de- 

 mand for it sufficient to pay for the work of 

 harvesting, threshing, etc. We. however, 

 have been able to secure a Quantity of the 

 unhulled White Sweet Clover Seed, which 

 unhulled is considered the best for sowing, 

 by those who have had the longest experi- 

 ence with it. We can ship promptly at the 

 following prices: 



Postpaid. I pound for 30 cents, or 2 pounds 

 for 50 cents. By express or freight, f. 0. b. 

 Chicago— 5 pounds for Si.oo; 10 pounds for 

 Si. 75; 25 pounds for Sa.cio; 50 pounds for $-.50; 

 or 100 pounds for $12.00. 



If wanted by freight, it will be necessary to 

 add 50 cents more for cartage to the above 

 prices on each order. 



If seed is desired of the Yellow Sweet 

 Clover, add 5 cents per pound to the above 

 prices.
