This isn't a true orange blossom honey, as grapefruit and tangerine nectars are intermixed, but in the trade this mixed citrus is classified as orange blossom and the only difference in the honey is a slight color variation.
Honeyman Burkett writes that the Burkett honey is of highest grade, thoroughly filtered to remove all traces of the tiny wax particles which are naturally present in all honeys and which hasten them to sugar. The result is a honey clear and brilliantly beautiful. The tin pail in which it is carried is plain as the back of your hand. Your money goes for quality nectar, not fancy pack.
A final word of advice from Mr. Burkett: “Honey likes hot weather and a hot room. Like bananas, it should never be stored in the refrigerator. If honey should begin to sugar, it can be restored to its original form by heating in water for thirty minutes. But the flavor will suffer.”

Bologna is bologna no matter how thin you slice it. And thank goodness for that, if it comes from Getz's Market in Tyrone, Pennsylvania. We have just finished sampling two links of this sausage done in the old Pennsylvania Dutch way—one link plain, one link garlicky. The firm has been making its bologna since 1907 and always in the same way: first mixing the meat and spices, then smoking them over green hickory logs in the old brick smokehouse. The recipe is a family hand down, an antique of great value. Used in a sandwich or sliced for a snack, here's a bologna that delivers a real flavor thrill. Two pounds are ＄1.98 postpaid. Send check or money order to Getz Marketeers, 1068 Pennsylvania Avenue, Tyrone, Pennsylvania.
Avocados big as two fists and rich as best butter came to us recently from Redland Tropical Grove. This company has an orchard of fifteen different varieties which provides fruit from July into late January. Only the fancy is shipped to mail-order customers.

During the year, the company ships other fruits in season, such as mangoes, which you know, and sapodillas, which you may not know, these an odd, brownskinned plum with grainy texture and a flavor slightly like maple. There is also a line of tropical preserves and jellies. Interested? Ask the firm for a price list.
