dollars and now becomes a miracle

specialties that Is being promoted-to
the ultimate sorrow Of the public--is
a shrub called THE Wonder Berry
Dependable authorities say unquali-
fiedly that the real wonder is that
anybody should buy the thing. as it
comes pretty near being worthless.
That is true Of most Of the Burbank
creations. Their great merit is all in
the advertising. Mr. Burbank has
done some good work, but he is
probably the most over-rated man in

the same verdict. The Wonder Ber-
