SEMI- TROPIC CA LIFORNIA . 
HONEY. 
For the first time in the history of the 
Horticultural Society, the honey interest 
of the southern counties was represented 
in the annual ex hi hi lion in such a miiuner 
as its importance and public interest 
demand. The attractive und interesting 
display undor the auspices of the Hee- 
keepers’ Association formed a center 
around which the apiarists literally 
swarmed, intent upon investigating tin- 
claims of improved machinery nud testing 
the contents of the various frames and jars, 
any one sample of which sccun .1 fault less 
ly clear and delicious In the uninitiated. 
One hundred and two varieties of honey 
producing flowers prepared by J. \V. Wil¬ 
son of Pasadena, formed a novel and 
interesting feature of this exhibition. Thu 
decorations of while sage were tasteful alul 
appropriate, und the nectar itself, in jars 
arranged in pyramidal shape, dear as 
crystal, supported by frame after frame ol 
comb honey, snowy and inviting, made a 
picture which can not bo photographed 
except by the artist memory. 
There was little in the display to indi¬ 
cate that the production this year is genei* 
ally estimated at a half-crop, owing to hoi 
winds in May, which stopped the flow ol 
nectar. Prices are fair, and bee-keepers 
generally in good spirits. We present 
elsewhere articles of interest read befim 
the Bee-kin-pel s Association, which was in 
session during the fair. 
In connection with this department., 
Mrs. Benedict displayed samples of excel¬ 
lent honey vinegar, almost colorless, and 
above average ill acidity; several sampler 
of fruit preserved in honey with undenia¬ 
ble success, and three kiuda of honey cake 
which elicited the warmest praise, from 
those who were foilunate enough to 
secure u sample. It is urged, and very 
plausibly, that fruit cuke made with honey 
is richer und retains moisture much longer 
than that made with sugar. 
Altogether, bee-men have a right to be 
proud of the honey display in this pavilion. 
With a product that leads the world's 
market, a life which in too retired to at¬ 
tract any but the thoughtful and intelli¬ 
gent, aud uu employment that is both 
pleasant and profitable, wo know of no 
class more enviable than the apiarists of 
Southern California. 
“ How dare you say ' damn’ before me?" 
severely inquired u clergyman of a loafer. 
“ How did I know yoll wanted to Bay 
‘ darnu ' first?" retorted the bad man.
