GLEANINGS IN BEE CULTURE 



S39 



HUBAM 



The Great Honey Bearin^Qover 



PRACTICAL experience with Hiibam, the annual white sweet 

 clover discovered by Prof. Hughes, is proving that it sur- 

 passes expectations in the richness of its honey-bearing con- 

 tent. It blooms in three to four months and continues blooming 

 for a longer period than other honey-bearing plants. 



These advantages promise to make Hubam an influence of the 

 first importance in the business of beekeeping. It will establish 

 a new low standard of costs and enlarged production. The use 

 of Hubam is rapidly becoming a necessity for the successful bee- 

 keeper. 



Quick growth and an unusual wealth of honey-making blooms 

 are combined with a legume action that returns large quantities 

 of valuable plant food to the soil. 



We are large-scale growers of Hubam seed with acreages in Texas, 

 Ohio, and North Dakota. To prevent accidental mixing of seeds 

 we grow only Ilubam clover and guarantee the purity of the seed. 



Some seed of the 1921 crop is now available.
