He combines the humorous and pathetic
in his nature and displays them with
marked effect in his delivery.

NEW HAVEN. Jan. 21.-In few days Capt.

sports than ever before the season does not

Indeed. it is generally accepted as foregone
conclusion that Yale cannot win this year, and
It Is believed that. II she succeeds in advancing

settle on details in such a short time. They
pledged to the stewards. however. that in case

by Cornell regarding the proposition. which
has been under discussion. to invite the Uni

ing to represent the class Of 1902. DR. Peet
regards the material for both boats as being as
good as he has ever handled or even seen. He
likes the men, the gymnasium. the spirit shown
in the rowing. and above all, the fact that his
crews will row at Poughkcepsie. This is the

marked by all who see them. The
difference is not only seen in the large
crops of bright oranges but the in
creased growth of bearing wood and
foliage that is shown in the Thomp-
son groves. One of Mr.. Thompson's
groves is the center third of a grove
that had been divided in settling an
estate.
Groves on both sides were fortified
with Other brands, but the center
with Simon Pure No. 1."-Result--
the groves on sides scarcely any fruit,
while the center has a good crop and
trees in healthy, vigorous condition.
One thing that is all the more re-
markable about the crops on these
groves is the fact that this is considered
an "off year" and but little fruit any
where yet these trees are loaded with
nearly double their last years crops.
Other groves in the neighborhood
have small crops, little new growth
and are generally of less healthy APP
pearance.
The Reasoner Bros, proprietors Of
the celebrated Royal Palm Nurseries
have used this Simon Pure Fertilizer
for the past four years, everything
there shows good results. In fact the
large experience of Reasoner Bros, in
the cultivation of fruit and ornament
al trees, and their success with all
kind of plants which engage their at
tention makes the subject of proper
fertilizing one of vast Importance, and
they arc 50 wei, satisfied with the ST.
mon Pure that they will continue its
use from year to year.
We are informed that in Volusia
county, about DeLand, where Mr..
Painter lives and has large interests
that ninety-five per cent of the grow
ers use Simon Pure Fertilizer. This
in itself shows the appreciation which
the fruit growers of Volusa county
have for this celebrated brand, and
from what we saw at Oneco in Mr..
Thompson's grove and the Royal
Palm Nurseries, we would have no
hesitation in recommending its use,
particularly, where growth of trees
and heavy fruitage is desired.
