honey " is being offered, all the apiarist has to do is to 



show on his labels why it is called " Extracted " honey, 



and in what manner it is removed from the combs ; as 



seen by a copy of my own label. The word " liquid " is 



certainly out of place, as our commodity is not always in 



that form, while the honey is liquid in our beautiful 



sections. 



Bottled Honey. 



In glass the wholesale demand is generally for lib. 

 jars. The most popular kind is the jelly glass, and being 

 so largely used the manufacturers are of course enabled 

 to place them at a lower figure than any other kind. They 

 are neat, elegant, and with a nice label, most attractive, 

 costing los. 6d. per gross ; with corks, 12s. 66. ; so that 

 including carriage, bottling, &c., the total cost is a little 

 over id. each (Fig. 43). Half and quarter-pounds can also 

 be retailed at home, but are useless to the trade. 



The bottles illustrated are especially suited for honey. 

 Fig. 45 makes a good exhibition bottle ; 43, the Greek 

 design jelly glass ; 42, a bottle very much appreciated 

 by customers generally. These are manufactured by 

 " Breffits," 83, Upper Thames Street, London. 



For bottling, the honey must be particularly clear ; and 

 whatever shade of colour it may have, it should be bright 

 and in all cases as before stated of such a consistency 

 that it "piles " up well when drawn off. 



Fill all bottles as evenly as possible and cork up at 

 once, driving the latter home with a mallet, while holding 

 the bottle in the left hand clear of any bench or shelf 

 Having filled your bottles, of course those with corks 

 need some finish, and for capping the whole, nothing is 

 more simple and inexpensive than 



Sealing Wax ; 

 but this article must be made at home. Procure common
