A TRIFLE OFF IN COLOR 



AND A 



SHADE LOWER IN PRICE 



Late last fall we added another apiary to our series of out-yards 

 in Northern Michigan. It was a magnificent raspberry location, 

 and we supposed that region entirely free from other honey- 

 producing plants; but when we came to harvest the crop this fall 

 we found that the honey was not strictly water-white. The color 

 could not be detected in a small quantity like a spoonful, or even 

 a saucerful, but by filling a glass fruit-jar or pitcher, and holding 

 it up to the light, a very slight reddish or pinkish tinge can be 

 noticed. 



Probably 99 in every 100 pounds of this honey are pure rasp- 

 berry. We certainly can detect no difference in the taste or 

 flavor between this honey and the strictly pure raspberry, and we 

 presume not one customer in a dozen would notice the slight 

 color, unless he had the two kinds side by side and some one 

 called his attention to it, but we don't propose to send out any 

 honey as strictly pure raspberry unless it is such. We have put 



up the honey in 60-pound jacketed tin cans, and ofler it at $5.50 

 per can — 75 cents less than we get for the same amount of the 

 water-white, strictly pure raspberry. If you don't care for the 

 slight trace of color you can save 75 cents in buying a 60-pound 

 can. 



If you would prefer to see a sample before ordering, send ten 

 cents and we will mail you one with pleasure, and the ten cents 

 may apply on the first order you send. Ask for a sample of the 

 " slightly-colored " raspberry honey. 



We can still furnish the strictly pure water-white'raspberry 

 honey at $6.25 for a 60-pound can, or $12.00 for 120 pounds. 



All of our honey is thoroughly ripened, thick, rich, and truly 

 delicious — a cent or two extra on the pound does not cut much 

 figure when it comes to the eating.
