MOTHERWORT 
(Leonurus cardiaca) 
Motherwort blooms over a long period beginning in 
summer and sometimes continuing to late in the fall. It 
is an abundant source of nectar and the bees are at- 
tracted to it in large numbers. This perennial, native of 
Asia, has become naturalized in many American locali- 
ties. It is easily raised from seed and once established 
should remain with little attention for many years. 
Grows two to four feet tall. One of the best of honey 
plants to naturalize in waste places for bee pasture.

UTILIZE WASTE LAND 
Much of our waste land can be made to pro- 
vide good bee pasture. Probably within easy 
reach of your bees are some unused areas such as 
sparse timber, borders, fence rows or gullies. 
Among the easiest of good honey plants to estab- 
lish on unused areas and which will grow over a 
wide range of conditions are CATNIP, MOTH- 
ERWORT, HOREHOUND and CHAPMAN 
HONEY PLANT. If scattering clumps can be 
established on unused land they should gradually 
spread around and add to the bee-pasture for a 
long while to come. One method of planting on 
waste land: in the spring scrape the ground bare 
in spots about two feet across and drop a few 
seeds of one or several plants in a place. GOL- 
DEN HONEY PLANT and SIMPSON HONEY 
PLANT, which often grow wild in the middle 
west in sheltered locations, such as sparse timber 
and timber edges, have been successfully estab- 
lished by this method. Many of the plants listed 
in this catalogue will grow wild in situations 
suited to them.
