HONEY LABELS The necessity of having a neat and attractive label with the name and address of the producer on every package of honey put upon the market is well understood by the enter- prising beekeeper. The guarantee of purity by the producer put upon every package he offers for sale is the best protection lie can get from the stories of adulteration that injure the sale of his product. For glass packages a small label is generally preferred, while for tin, one that laps around the package is considered best. In ordering, always be careful to write distinctly. Be sure to bring the lower part of the capital J sufficiently below the line to distinguish it from the capital I. Always send a printed address if possible. It is found that no gummed label will adhere as well as pasted ones; that they can not be made to have the fresh and clear appearance of ungummed work; that they will curl up in a dry atmosphere, and stick together in a moist one; and that they cannot be trim- med with the degree of accuracy that every one has a right to expect. For small labels, where only one is used occasionally, we prefer the gummed. We desire to furnish work in every respect satisfactory to our customers, and therefore recom- mend ungummed labels, especially when they are to be printed in colors. NOTE: Label No. 4 in this catalog has been discontinued. Therefore do not order this label.

Rranulation has been found to be the only ready test of pure honey. I therefore do not ship extracted honey before it is thoroughly granulated by cold weather: I war- rant every pound of honey put up and shipped by me to be absolutely pure honey as collected from the blossoms by the bees. To restore to the liquid form and retain its original honey flavor, set the can in warm water and remove cover, but do not heat honey to boiling point. Let cool before using.

Wording changed READ TMIS Extracted honey is altogether different from strained honey. Strained honey is prepared bv mash ing the comb conlaming it. mixed with bee bread and sometimes with dead bees and brood Thishonev is heated until the wax separates from it, and then strained. In this process of heating the bee bread (pollen) dissolves with the honey and makes it dark and strong in taste. This honey can not eranulate on account of havi7tg beert boiled. s ^ Extracted honey is prepared by placing the combs, after having unmapped the tops of the cells in a machine which throws the honey out. By this process the honey alone is extracted without any mixture of pollen, or any brood, or bees. The combs, being in racks or frames, can be returned to the bee^s unhurt, to be filled again. ' This honey not having been heated, retains all its perfume, and granulates when exposed for some time to air and cold, i j ■ c Some people imagine that granulated honey is impure. In this they are mistaken The adulter ators of honey do not use sugar, which is costly, but gluco.se, made of corn-starch- the same stuff that is use to adulterate mapl-- syrup and golden syrup, and which costs less than five cents per pound This glucose remains always liquid. It is very unhealthful, containing lime and sulphate of lime Granulation of honey it, therefore, a test of purity, although some pure honey remains liauid As long as honey is granulated it can not spoil. h • » Honey should be kept in a warm dry place to keep from spoiling.
