produced recent years in Florida. It is almost too fancy a honey to use in baking, but is wonderfully adapted for icings, ice cream and for direct sweetening in other desserts where mild flavor is desired.

MANGROVE HONEY

From the salt-marshes of south Florida come large quantities of another of our ‘best’ honeys. Black mangrove (Avic. nitida) produces a delicious flavored honey almost as light colored as gallberry, light in body but unusually sweet, due to large content of dextrose.

Holds an enviable place with many devotees and gaining popularity fast.

OTHER COMMERCIAL FLORIDA HONEYS

Are Wild Sunflower from the Everglades region, a delicious fall honey of amber or light amber color and good body; Partridge Pea, which is a darker, stronger product, excellent for cooking and baking and Goldenrod, a popular fall honey.

Besides these nine, Florida produces over a score of others, but rarely distinct or in pure state enough to be seen commercially.

Sub-tropical honeys are rich in minerals and vitamins!
