opment OF the best qualities Of both
berries.
Strawberries were first grown in
Colorado near Denver about forty
years ago. A we'll known Denver
grower estimates that it costs ap-
proximately s14O per crate to pro-
duce a marketable quality of straw
berry in this state. 1t is computed
that the expense OF growing an acre
of strawberries is $3.50. A 400 crate
crop sold at 81 crate means $500,
leaving a profit of $3.50 per acre.
In the northern part of the state
the rawberries mostly planted are
Wardeld Capt. Jack, Jessie and Be-
derwood for early ripening. while ia

lite. Aroma and Candy are in demand
for thslater markets.
The pistulate varieties Will stand
more freezing at blooming time than
the perfect bloomers. Mr.. Smith stat
ed that only the most vigorous plants
should be used in setting out new
beds. He believes that multching is
necessary to insure successful win
tering and a good crop of strawber-
ries.
The next lecture was by Prof. Pad

there was no such thing as a purely

and was divided between the illus

1t Is a matter OF regret that his COM

The stitch is easy to learn; the only
trouble arises from the fact that II is

To save both, comfortable way is to
take heavy piece of silk black velvet

will show the threads, making it easy

When preparing the work, II one finds

material gently with It. This keeps the
threads from breaking, and makes the
