One would scarcely suppose that there is so muc^i difference in honey, and so jj||e&V * number of varieties. T,h*re are almost as many varieties as there are differ ent flowers that produce honey, and the difference in flayer is very perceptible. Since the^in trod ac tion of the extractor, it rs possible to keep each variety to quite an extent, and hence the opportunity it affords to see and taste the honey from the different flow ers. These varieties of honey also differ materially in color. There are scarcely any two varieties of the same shade, and there are all shades from white, or light, down to dark, or nearly black. White clover blossoms, or alfafa clover, perhaps, produces the lightest grade of honey, and this also ranks the highest in price, and these plants mentioned perhaps furnish tne greatest bulk of the honey in the United States. The second best honey producer in this conn- try, both in grade and quantity, is the American linden or bass wood.—Epitomist. Lost.
