Two men living in the eastern suburb,
went to St. Vincent on Tuesday. They
came back with a jug. Their boat was

fight. The woman of the house, sister
OF one, wife of the other man attempted

bages but no strawberries followed the
numerous blossoms. Of course it was
matter of lack of fertilization, and we
should have planted the right varieties,
Not knowing the right varieties we took
