WHY WAIT YEARS FOR SEED TO PRO- 
DUCE? PLANT DEEP ROOTED PERMA- 
NENT TREES, SHRUBS, AND PEREN- 
NIALS. 
A RECENTLY FOUND CASH NECTAR 
CROP in the form of Red Raspberries grown 
commercially around St. Paul, Minneapolis. 
and Hopkins, Minnesota, proves to be an extra 
valuable source of nectar between the fruit 
tree bloom and the main white Dutch clover 
flow. According to Dr. M. H. Hydack’s arti- 
cle in March, 1947 issue of the Minnesota State 
Horticulturist, his chart shows that the weight 
of his scale hives to increase 40 pounds from 
the 6th to 15th of June from Raspberries in 
this area, averages 1939-1945. Being just 
prior to the main White Dutch Clover and 
Basswood flow, this not only adds to the sur- 
plus; but decidedly increases the build-up of 
field bees so that they can more advantage- 
ously take care of all of the main flow and has 
a tendency to reduce idleness and the conse- 
quent swarming. The varieties used mostly in 
commercial planting is the large red Latham 
Raspberry for the heavier soils and the large 
red Chief Raspberry for lighter soil, and 
should grow in any area where White Dutch 
Clover thrives. No. 1 plants, 25 for $5.00, 
postpaid; by express, $4.50; 100 for $15.00 by 
express.

CHIVES (Allium schoenoprasum). A hardy 
perennial that with some moisture grows in

western inter-mountain region. This peren- 
nial is a hardy onion specie whose small 
slender, hollow leaves, chopped fine, are used 
for flavoring salads, stews, and soups. De- 
velops into clumps of abundant foliage 6 to 
8 in. high and covered with smail round 
heads of tiny lavender flowers that bees sure 
do busy themselves over for quite a while.

the plants are often used for edging flower 
beds. For best results clumps shou'd be 
divided every second and third year. 6 di- 
visions for $1.20, postpaid.
