We incline to the view that, while
there is nothing in the berry line that
beats the strawberry for its season,
it would find hard shedding when it
came into direct competition with the
raspberry, blackberry, tomato and
muskmelon-. When a fellow has had
four or five weeks run Of any fruit or
vegetable he's thankful that there is
something else coming on which will
give variety. And this is true even
