It would be well-nigh impossible to give a 

 complete list of all the flowers that are more 

 or less important, but in addition to the list 

 already given we append the following, by 

 permission of the editor of " Gleanings in Bee 

 Culture," and the beekeeper will do well to 

 study it carefully and familiarize himself 

 with the plants that are present in his 

 immediate vicinity. He will be astonished 

 at the varieties to which his bees have 

 access.
