Morning appeal. [volume] (Carson City, Nev.) 1877-1906, 1877-11-22

"All the year round is melancholy doom
for your tender strawberry But such is its
fate in these ends of the earth. Instead of
having it's welcome season, like new potatoes,
asparagus and muskmellons, it is made to do
duty like bread and molasses, sour kraut and
potatoes. 1t is worse treated by the gardeners
of these Pacific Slopes than some inanimate
things; for even peg-tops have their seasons
and base ball and gum chewing are among
the periodicals. We saw some shivering straw
berriesat Ivancovich's yesterday. They looked
as if their noses were COLOR, rather, they
looked like noses whose hectic redness was
the result of exposure, inflammation and the
congested state. Somehow one shivers from
the application and results of forcing pro-
cess which associates the strawberry from the
springtime association. 1t should come in
with the gentle airs of April and go out with
the advent of Sirius. There is such thing
as degradation arising from too constant using.
Now the potato, most valued of esculents, is
SO much of the character of an indispensable
as to grow in value by the very terms of its
universal presence at table. 1t is "home
folks" as much as biscuits and butter. But
the strawberry's delicacy of structure and
favor associate it with the violet, the crocus
and the swarming bee. 1t is the unsavory
thing thus to commonize it and drag it into
an unnatural association with the cabbage and
the parsnip, the carrot and the onion.
j. R. Courtney of Esmeralda county,
came in yesterday from Columbus, with
load of freight. He is one of the most ster-
ling citizens of the county, He takes back
this morning thirty double desks for the

fore the new ones were procured, and have

We are told that Gellatt's stage was stopped
yesterday near the fume, and Gellatt asked
for his watch. 1t was only lever, and he
told them that was what they ought to do with
it. They did Give us a first class stage rob-
berry, Gellatt, that is too thin.
John McTarnahan is off for his ranch in
Walker River Valley very soon. Must be
stormy, that same John. He will make things
lively on that Walker, and like as not, found
a new city thereabout, after the manner of
Romulus and Remus.
