J. M. Fuller ''Some" Gardner.

While ]. M. Fuller of this city may
not have exactly the very largest
vegetables, he has, nevertheless,
this summer raised lot of vegetables
that would do credit to the best
professional gardner in the u. S.
Mr.. Fuller has a fine lot of varities
aud all matured in nice shape. AS
proof of his superiority as a gardner,
Mr.. Fuller brought to the writer, a
few days ago, a very we'll developed
ripe tomato that scaled the weights
at 10 ounces; and Mr.. Fuller states
that the tomato was not the largest
one in the patch, either.
This is but another lie nailed"
as to the soil around Bemidji being
unfit for agricultural purpose; we
raise the best vegetables in the state,
right in the city limits of Bemidji.
