One thing I know just now is, that with butter at 85 cents per 2-pound roll, honey will sell better than ever. Money has not advanced anywhere near in pro- portion to other commodities. From 35 to 50 cents per jar (and the jar itself is often worth a dime) is about the pre- vailing price at the stores for good honey. I should like to see the dealer sell honey in bulk like he does syrup. I think it would be better for producer. If we could only place a honey on the market that would not granulate, the business would be much benefited. It is all right to say that candied is per se pure. But every grocer is not prepared to handle it in that shape. If all honey were candied tlie grocer would find it easier to sell it in that form than any other. Well, perhaps we might find a way to send all our honey to market in solid form. Fall Flowers in California The flowers of the fall are not over- numerous in 'California; neither are those we have prolific in nectar. At least such have been my observations. I believe no native flower can compare with the eucalyptus from Australia, sev- eral varieties of which bloom during the fall and winter months in California, and as they have been planted quite tensively in some places, they make good bee-forage. Another foreign bee-flower common in California, but perhaps not planted extensively enough to be of any great benefit to the bees, is the pepper-tree (Schinns iiiolli) of Chile. In this por- tion of the State it is in full swing in September. This year it was blooming earlier than usual—I saw some trees in a state of inflorence as early as May, and these same trees are so continuing at this writing (August 28) and I have reason to believe they will do so for a month or more yet. I have always con- sidered it a good honey-secreting tree. Wm. Muth-Rasmussen This is the name of a bee-keepe
