Horatio Martin has our thanks for his
treat OF rich and delicious strawberries
from his own patch. They were deci-

this season. May he live to have an
abundance next year and not forget Us.
VIM. Ackerman, Jr., favored us with
about a quart specimen of his cultivation
of strawberries, which We pronounce in
flavor unsurpassed by any others we have
sampled this season. We are ready for
other specimens.
Douglas & Bickel have the contract of
