Selecting Varieties 
The best varieties are those most suitable 
for your individual bee pasture. Select such 
varieties that bloom near that period of the 
build-up in between your minor nectar flows 
when your bees are inclined to rob each 
year. We maintain that your minor nectar 
flows are more important than the main 
heney fiew in that your minor nectar flows 
are your natural stimulatives for that yearly 
buiid-up of your colonies of a larger field 
force of bees that are more able to get all of 
the imain honey flow which size most colonies 
do not attain. 
In following descriptions, the flowering 
period is indicated by name of month for 
section designated. For each 300-miles fur- 
ther south same variety is planted, figure two 
weeks earlier blooming season. Number after 
variety designates the height in feet when 
full grown. 
After each variety we list “n,”’ “s,” or 
‘w* designating the portion of U. S. where 
recommended. The small letter “n’, when 
first. designates that such variety grows up 
north; “s”’, when first, for south; “w”, when 
first, for the inter-mountain region. The first 
letter where it thrives the best and last the 
least. With proper varieties you should im- 
prove your bee basture and eventually should 
manipulate your bees with less robbing and 
swarming. Show your flowers, trees, and. 
shrubs to your neighbors and encourage them 
to plant likewise. Explaining, with pride, 
that this suppplement planting is for larger 
colonies that will better pollenize their fruit, 
vegetables, agricultural crops and legumes, 
which in turn increase the fertility of the 
soil. Thus you both make your community 
more productive and the more beautiful to 
live in.
