The Popular lecturer of tho day who
sometimes discourses on acres of dia
monds" might well use that term as a text
for a lecture on the enormous fortunes
made in modern times in fruit. berry and
vegetable culture. 1t is a domonstrablc fact
attoStcd by the latest census reports, that
there is more money to be extracted from
the ground on our farm and garden pat
ches than in our mineral belts of gold and
silver. Financial prospectuses that
promise great dividends promise
nothing in comparison with the
dividends from the planting Of single
seed, and this is the sort of speculation
or investment that every owner of a few
acres can make for himself. The total
value of the wheat produced in this coun-
