ALFALFA 

 HONEY 



This is the famous white extracted hooey 

 gathered in the great Alfalfa regions of the 

 Central West. It is a splendid honey, and 

 nearly everybody who cares to eat honey at all 

 can't get enough of the Alfalfa extracted. 



IE' 



BASSWOOD 

 HONEY =»='=»==«==«==«°=»=~*-*' 



This is the well-known light-colored honey 

 gathered from the rich, nectar-laden basswood 

 blossoms in Wisconsin. It has a stronger 

 flavor than Alfalfa, and is greatly preferred by 

 those who like a distinct flavor in their honey. 



PRICES OF EITHER ALFALFA OR BASSWOOD HONEY : 



A sample of either, by mail, Scents; samples of both, 15 cents — to pay for package and postagp_. 

 By freight— One 60-poiind can, 7^ cents a pound ; 'I cans, 7U cents per pound ; -i or more cans, 7 

 cents per pound. Cash must accompany each order. If ordering two or more cans yon can have half

Absolutely Pure Bees' Honey 



the finest of their kinds produced in this country. 



We would suggest that those beekeepers who did not produce any honey for their home demand this 

 year, ju.-t order some of the above, and sell it. And others, who want to earn some money, can get 

 this honey and work up a demand for it almost anywhere. The pamphlet, " Honey as Food," will be 

 a great help in creating customers for honey. See prices on another page.

Bees Are Doing Well. 



Blackhart and buckwheat have come 

 icto bloom again, and they are yielding 

 honey in abundance. Bees have been 

 swarming some in this locality. I can 

 extract ;;about l.UOO pounds a week. 

 We did not get any clover honey. I 

 think it was too wet in the spring and 

 too dry in the summer, but clover never 

 bloomed better than it did the past sum- 

 mer. I have extracted about 2,100 

 pounds already, and am going to ex- 

 tract to-morrow. I use the 7 two-frame 

 Novice honey-extractor, and with some 

 help can extract 1,000 pounds in a day. 

 I do not do much with my bees in the 

 summer, as I have so much other work 

 to do, but I always have them watcht in 

 swarming-tlme. The one who hived the 

 swarms helps nie extract the honey.

Poorest Year of All. 



This Is the poorest year I have had 

 yet. Bees were never as strong in num- 

 bers before, and plenty of blossoms, but 

 little honey. I hope they will have some 

 soon. There is a good show now, but It 

 was so wet in the spring, and then so 

 dry, but lots of rain lately. I have had 

 but few swarms, only 7 out of 20 very 

 strong colonies. Last year 1 had only 5 

 swarms from 20 colonies. I have taken
