this new species bears the most de-

Is the wonderberry poisonous?

y
One Greeley woman informed the
Tribune this morning that it was
not, and offered to send one of the
best pies ever baked to the Tribune
office to prove her assertion. She
takes issue with the Frisco man
who declares the wonderberry is a
great fake, a member of the night
shade family, and of deadly pois-
onous variety. She further says
that tomatoes, huckleberries and to-
bacco are also members of the night
shade family and far more poison
Gus than the wonderberry.
In seasons when fruit Is short,
said this woman. 'the wonderberry
will be found an excellent substi-
tute for many of the pie varieties
of fruit. We have found the berry
most succulent and luscious pie
product and are not afraid of any
California professor who wants to
knock Luther Burbank"
In addition to the statement mad
by this Greeley woman, communi-
cation was received from Mrs. Anna
Swan Cunningham. a former woman
resident of Greeley. This commun-
ication is as follows:
