soonest, according to our judgment, we ever
| saw, and cannot fail to please the one lucky
| enough to win 1t. Those desiring to enter
the list for the prize should hold consulta-
ton so as not to send all the berries on the
| same day. Consignments must be plainly
marked to the ''river editor of the APPEAL, -
| as we have associates to whom red-rfpe,
| juicy berry of the watermelon persuasion pos
| sesses an overwhelming fascination.
