ilellilotus alba— and is a great favorite 

 with the bees ; neither does it grow halt so 

 tall, nor so ranlj ; the stalks are finer, and 

 the bloom more abundant. 



From my experience in saving the seed 

 of these clovers. I think it heats easily. 

 While at a seaside resort I noticed a few 

 plants of this clover growing on the edge of 

 a salt marsh. I made a little cotton sack, 

 and every day I gathered the seed as it 

 ripened. When at my rooms I kept it in a 

 valise; none of the seed grew. If I had 

 dried the seed in the sun it might. I made 

 the same mistake while gathering the seed 

 of the white sweet clover in Iowa, while 

 there on a visit. Any one who fails to 

 grow this clover should transplant a few 

 plants, and if they grow, it will be estab- 

 iisht for all time. It appears to thrive best 

 when beaten well into the soil, and wagon- 

 wheels during a muddy time plant the seed 

 along highways for miles. Some of the 

 railroads have ascertained the fact that it 

 is a good plant to keep their cuts from 

 washing; and it would be good for the 

 South to plant it on their gullied lands.

Rolling in the Honey. 



Bees in Tulare County are doing well. I 

 have 48 new swarms so far, making 98 col- 

 onies in all. They are rolling in the honey 

 now from alfalfa bloom. I believe this will 

 be a good honey-year in this county.

The Novelty Pocket-Knif e 



(A heavier and stronger Uiiile than the one we offered hL'retofore.)

(This Cut is the Full Size of the Knife.) 



Your Name on the Knife. — When ordering^, be sure to say just what name and address you 

 wish put on the Knife. 



The Novelty Knife is indeed a novelty. The novelty lies in the handle. It is made beautifully 

 ■of indestructible celluloid, which is as transparent as class. Underneath the celluloid, on one side 

 of the handle is placed the name and residence of the Subscriber. 



The Material entering- into this celebrated knife is of the very best quality; the blades are 

 hand-forg-ed out of the very finest Eng-lish razor-steel, and we warrant every blade. The bolsters 

 are made of German silver, and will never rust or corrode. The rivets are hardened German silver 

 wire; the linings are plate brass; the back springs of Sheffield spring-steel, and the finish of the 

 Tiandle as described above. It will last a lifetime, with proper usage. 



Why Own the Novelty Knife? Incasea^ood knife is lost, the chances are the owner will 

 never recover it; but if the Novelty is lost, having- name and address of owner, the finder will re- 

 turn it; otherwise to try to destr«jy the name and address, would destroy the knife. If traveling, 

 and you meet with a serious accident, and are so fortunate as to have one of the Noveltit'-s, 3'our 

 Pocket-Knife will serve as an identifier; and in case of death, 3'our relatives will at once be ap- 

 prised of the accident. 



How appropriate this knife is for a present I What more lasting- memento could a mother 

 g-ive to a son, a wife to a husband, a sister to a brother, or a lady to a gentleman, the knife having 

 the name of the recipient on one side? 



The accompanying cut gives a faint idea, but cannot fully convey an exact representation of 

 this beautiful knife, as the '* Novelty " must be seen to be appreciated. 



How to Get this Valuable Knife.— We send it postpaid for Si. 25, or give it as a Premium to the 

 one sending us three new subscribers to the Bee Journal (with $3.1X11, and we will also send to 

 each new name a copy of the Premium Edition of the book. Bees and Honey. We will club the 

 Novelty Knife and the Bee Journal for one year, both for $1.90.
