Considering how great part the
ministers Of all our denominations
have played in the national life for
at least ten centuries, says the London
Sunday Strand, 1t is simply astound.
ing to find how few are the statues
that have been raised to them In pub
lie places during the past 500 years or
so. Whilst famous men In other ranks
OF life have had statues galore erected
to their memories In nearly every
town in the kingdom, there are today
scarcely a score Of statues, all told
of ministers, and In nenriy each case
such statues have been put up within
the last 20 years.

At this season Of the year there are
always a number OF inquiries with re-
gard to ported strawberry plantS The
idea is that extra strong plants can be
grown by plunglng pots into the
ground and setting the young plants
into these while still attached to the
mother plants. These ported musings
are then transplanted to permanent
beds in August or September and are
expected to yield crop the following
year. Practically one year Is thus
saved in the production Of q straw
berry crop. The value Of this method
can be pretty accurately set forth in
dozen words. II IL interesting play for
amateur gardeners. but has no stand
ing IN commercial strawberry culture.
1t is never undertaken on a CONNER
ciaI scale. But in small gardens. where
the fun Of growing things is equal to
the market price Of the produce, tall
planted potted strawberry plants may
be cordially recommended. These
facts account for the annual appear
ance Of the ported plant fever in the
amateur horticultural journals The
scheme is suited perfectly 70 those
who have not yet progressed beyond
the reading Of such magazines. On
fortunately. however. these amateur
horticultural periodicals very seldom
warn their credulOus readers that the
idea Is OF no commercial value, and 90
from year to year along with a small
crop Of strawberries. there dourishes a
large crop Of needless disappointment
