Honey Plants

A. I. Root, authority on all subjects pertaining to bee culture, says: Past experience seems to have taught us that not only is it trae that no plant bears honey invariably, bat it is also true that a great many plants may now and then give quite a yield of honey. Doolittle got quite a erop of very nice honey from teasel. Dr. Miller had quite a little honey yield from cuemnbers, where they were raised f or pickle f actories. Spanish needie from the swamps sometimes gives large quantities of very rich ambei honey. Last season Dr. Miller had a yield of very nice honey right along for months, and if I am correct he does not know yet where it carne from. When 1 visited him he asked me if I could see enough white clover, or clover of any kind, to account for the amount of honey that was then coming in. I could not. And yet there was nothing else visible to us in our miles of travel that should furnish it. Rape sometimes gives quite a flow of beautiful honey in localities where the plant is raised largely for seed. Mustard fields also furnish more or less.
