 of their Value. 



Qtiery 8.— What honey- producing plants 

 would you recommend bee-keepers to endeav- 

 or to spread ? Please name them in the order 

 of their value, as you believe.— Pa. 



Prof. A. J. Cook — Sweet clover. 



B, Taylor — Alsike clover first; sweet 

 clover next. 



Mrs. J. N. Heater— White clover, mel- 

 ilot (or sweet) clover, alfalfa clover. 



J. M. Hambaugh — In the East, sweet 

 clover, linden trees, and Alsike clover. 



Chas. Dadant & Sou — White clover, 

 alfalfa, Aisike clover, melilot (sweet 

 clover). 



R. L. Taylor — Such as are profitable 

 for other purposes. Alsike aud crimson 

 clovers, and alfalfa. 



Jas. A. Stone — Alfalfa, if suited to 

 your climate ; sweet clover, Alsike clo- 

 ver, and white clover. 



H. D. Cutting — A wild "honey-pro- 

 ducing plant " in one section may be of 

 no account in another. 



W. R. Graham — Sweet clover. The 

 season has more to do with the produc- 

 ing of honey than the flowers. 



Eugene Secor — 1. Linden (basswood). 

 2. While and Alsike clover. 8. Buck- 

 wheat. 4. Sweet clover (melilotus alba). 



Dr. J. P. H. Brown — Soil and climate 

 call for different honey-flora. Study the- 

 best in your location, then plant accord- 

 ingly. 



Allen Pringle — Basswood, Alsike clo- 

 ver, buckwheat, crimson clover, white 

 clover, sweet clover, raspberry, mother- 

 wort, etc. 



Dr. C. C. Miller — Depends upon place 

 and perhaps circumstances. In this lo- 

 cality, perhaps sweet clover, crimson, 

 and Alsike. 



G. M. Doolittle— I do not think it pays 

 bee-keepers to plant anything that is of 

 no value save for honey. Fruit trees, 

 the clovers, basswood, and buckwheat 

 are the things to " tie to." 



W. G. Larrabee— 1. White clover. 2. 

 Basswood. 3. Alsike clover. 4. Buck- 

 wheat. 5. Sweet clover. 6. Raspberry. 

 Perhaps alfalfa would come in among 

 the first, if I knew more about it. 



Rev. M. Mahin — Crimson and Alsike 

 clovers. I know of no others that can 

 be cultivated with advantage in this 

 region. Rape might, but I do not know. 

 White clover does not need to be spread. 

 It spreads itself. 



E. France— In this latitude sweet clo- 

 ver, Alsike tlover, catnip, etc. But I 

 never could sow anything that did any 

 good. Our State has put sweet clover 

 on the foul-weed list. The farmers 

 about here fight it, and the stock feed it 

 to death. 



G. W. Demaree— After trying to help 

 my honey-resources by scattering seeds 

 of divers varieties as honey-plants, I 

 now have mighty little faith in it. Al- 

 sike clover would be a great source of 

 honey-supply to me if the plant was a 

 success as a forage crop here, but it has
