The 

 New ANNUAL 

 Sweet Clover 



Hubam is a fast grow- \?!.^. 

 ing white sweet clover— \^ 

 grows 5 to 8 feet the same season. An ex- 

 cellent hay, big yielding and nutritious. 

 In crop rotation, Hubam saves a year, as 

 it is an annual; it means thousands of 

 extra dollars in the pockets of growers. 

 Hubam has been acclaimed the most im- 

 portant crop development in years. 



Plant Northern-Grown Hubam 



Isbell has adopted this southern 

 clover to northern conditions — 

 has made it hardy, yet big-yield- 

 ing. Make sure of big crops by procur- 

 ing Michigan grown Bell Brand Hubam

SPECIAL NOTICE. 



When the advertisement of aluminum honey- 

 combs first appeared in Gleanings, March, 1921, 

 the following reservation was printed in the ad- 

 vertisement : 



"The Editors of Gleanings in Bee Culture, 

 altho not endorsing aluminum combs, will 

 thoroly test these crmbs made in Texas, and 

 will announce their conclusions as to the 

 merits of them, in their climate and latitude, 

 upon the completion of their tests in several 

 apiaries.' ' 



The Texas Honey Producers' Association eent 

 us last spring a set of aluminum honeycombs made_ 

 in Texas sufficient for one extracting super. These 

 were used by us in the extracting sujier accord- 

 ing to directions, and the bees filled them with 

 honey, altho they showed a preference for the 

 wax combs. We feel that in fairness t ) the alumi- 

 num combs and also to the beekeepers that we 

 should reserve full judgment until we can make 

 further tests, and especially reserve judgment as 

 to their use in the brood-chamber. 



Managing Editor, Gleanings in Bee Culture.
