farms in the state. He has between thirty
and forty acres In fruits. Among other
varieties he has thousands of plants of the

ries These berries are very prolific, each
plant yielding from three to five quarts
annually. Not only are the berries seed
less, but the bushes are almost thornless

heve that more profitable enterprise could
not be engaged in than the production of
these berries on a large scale Mr.. Wellman
