We have begun mailing our catalog lor 1911. We 

 are late in completing it, as usual, and it will be a 

 number of weeks before we can produce enough to 

 mail on our list of names and supply our dealers lor 

 their use. If you can not wait your turn, send us 

 request on a postal and we will mail you one. 

 There are very lew changes from last year's cata- 

 log: Some new introductory matter of value to be- 

 ginners; a new loose-bottom double-walled hive; a 

 change in shipping-cases back to the nailed cover; a 

 new capping-box and steam-heated uncapping- 

 knlfe. In changed prices we call attention to the 

 following: Comb foundation, 1 ct. per lb. higher; 

 bee-hive paint. 40 cts. a gallon higher. A special 

 charge of 50 cts. for any lot of odd-size foundation. 

 Easterday wire-imbedder is advanced to 25 cts., and 

 the wide putty-knife scraper is reduced to 15 cts.: 

 some slight changes in price of bees and queens: 

 some advance in the price of glass for shipping- 

 cases and hot-bed sash. The variety of shipping- 

 cases has been reduced by omitting the two-row 

 cases. These may still be had, by those who prefer 

 them, while stocks hold out, at regular price.

SWEET - CLOVER SEED. 



Sweet clover is one of the chief sources of honey 

 in Utah, Idaho, and other regions of the West, as 

 well as in many localities in the South and other 

 sections of the country. In recent years farmers 

 are also learning of its great value in enriching the 

 soil by the introduction of nitrogen. We recently 

 printed a booklet of about 50 pages entitled "The 

 Truth about Sweet Clover." This contains the ex- 

 perience of a great many who have grown it to a 

 greater or less extent. We shall be pleased to mail 

 this booklet to those interested, free, on request. 

 We have a good stock of choice fresh seed which 

 we offer at the following prices. As to the compar- 

 ative value of the different varieties, we will say 

 that the white, or Melilotus alba, is most common, 

 and therefore the best known. The yellow is de- 

 sirable because it begins blooming usually from 

 two to four weeks earlier than the white. As to 

 the two varieties of yellow, one of the experiment 

 stations has said there was a distinction without a 

 difference. From the testimony available, the an- 

 nual, or Meiilolus Indica, blooms first; and in Cal- 

 ifornia, where our seed was procured, it is reported 

 as growing from two to six feet high, depending on 

 the character of soil, moisture, and other condi- 

 tions.
