GOLDEN CLEOME 
(Cleome lutea) 
Golden Cleome has too long been overlooked as an 
ornamental. Though native to a dry region (the south- 
west) it will also thrive in more humid climates and if 
given cultivation and plenty of room will reach a height 
of six or seven feet and bloom from July until frost with 
a constantly increasing number of flower clusters. It is 
ideal for background. A single plant with plenty of 
room may resemble a young tree with much yellow 
bloom all late summer and fall. The plant is annual and 
self sows freely. One of the finest of honey plants, very 
attractive to bees and other insects.

been widely cultivated in European gardens as a honey plant, also 
grown to some extent for forage and used for silage. It reaches 
a heigth of about two feet with blueish or pink flowers. A famous 
bee plant.

Borage has long been famous as a bee plant and has been much 
planted in European honey plant gardens. It is an annual native 
to Europe and North Africa. 
Although the honey is dark and not of the best quality, the 
bees visit the flowers so freely that it should be included in every 
extensive collection of honey plants. It is a hardy plant, bloom- 
ing for a long period. 
Seed, per packet 20c, postpaid. 
MIGNONETTE 
(Reseda odorata) 
Mignonette has long been a favorite with those who have bee 
gardens. The bloom is very fragrant. Some very extravagant 
claims have been made as to the amount of honey to be secured 
from this source. While there is no proof that such yields can be 
secured the flowers are very attractive to the bees and it seems 
probable that if enough of it were available good crops might be 
harvested. Try it in your garden.
