A scheme is afoot for holding an I'M
perial exhibition Of wumen's work IN
London III 1907 OF 1893. 1t is receiving
very influential support, and there is
every reason TO believe that the queen
will consent to become patroness, and
most of the ladies of the British royal
family and court will serve on the ex-
ecutiYe committee. For the purposes Of
this exhibition the United States will
be considered as part OF the British
empire, and it is expected that the
American women's exhibits will be

of Aberdeen. of course, is one OF the
the lenders OF this interesting move

LADY THOMSON =
- So strawberry

This fine Strawberry originated in
Wayne county, North Carolina, with
Mr.. Thomson, whose name it bears,
and has more goood points than any
berry now grown, being early, very
large, a perfect bloomer, and a good
grower and shIpper-has perfect
shape, good color and fine flavor. 1t
yielded 10000 quarts per acre in 1873,
and has proven its adaptability TO
adverse as we'll as favorable surround
ings. In unusually dry seasons while
other berries have succumbed to the
drought and many plants died, the
Lady Thomson has held up and
yielded full crop of large, fine ber-
ries. In North Carolina they are
ready for market early in April, sew
eral days in advance of Hotfnan's and
have been shipped with profit from
80 to 40 days, when market was
broken and other berries were worth
less. Plants can be set from Septem-
Der LIST to April 1st.
The following testimonials from
well known commission merchants
furnish ample proof of their super
iority over every other berry
