II A GREAT NEW BOOK ||

ll BEEKEEPERS 11 



The American beekeeper has long been in need of a thorough knowledge 

 of the honey plants of this country. 



To know the sources of honey supply and the location of such sources, is 

 indispensable to beekeeping success. 



The American beekeeper is at last going to be supplied with this knowledge 

 by the highest American authority on the subject of honey plants, Mr. John H. 

 Lovell, scientist, author, and beekeeper. 



The Honey Plants of North America, North 

 of Mexico, and Guide to the Best Loca- 

 tions for Beekeeping in the United States 



Is the subject of the book which Mr. Lovell has been preparing by a life-long 

 study and now about to be printed by us as his publishers and collaborators. 



This new book will prove the most important contribution made to Ameri- 

 can beekeeping lore in years — literally filling "a long-felt want.'' 



No brief description can possibly tell of the beekeeping ground covered by 

 the author. Among the many subjects treated, wnll be found chapters on 

 "The Influence of Environment on the Secretion of Nectar," "Plants Valua- 

 ble for Pollen Only, " " Honeydew, " " Plants of Little Value to Bee Culture. ' ' 



One entire 2)art of the book will be given over to a discussion of ' ' Nectar — 

 Its Secretion, Protection and Distribution. ' ' Another part will give the fullest 

 and most finely illustrated description of North American honey plants ever 

 printed. 



Still another part (and perhaps the most important) will deal with the 

 honey plants of different sections of the country and furnish a guide to the best 

 locations for beekeeping. 



All this big and valuable work for beekeepers has been done with Mr. 

 Lovell 's widely known scientific accuracy; but technical terms have been 

 avoided, and the language used is that of the common beekeeper. 



We congratulate the beekeepers of America upon the prospect of having 

 the new aid and encouragement that this great new book will give to our 

 beekeeping. 



We are already at work upon its publication, and trust that it will be off 

 the press early in 1920.
