w. A. Maertz, Amigo. Wis.
Some time ago this paper run an
article on the Wonderberry and in
the article a number of the leading
horticulture magazines Of the coun-
try were quoted as to their views on
the New Burbank berry and it's
edible qualities. Since that time We
have tried the fruit several ways
and we can now state that it is not
as bad as it has been pictured. OF
course the fruit is better after it has
been cooked and the addition of
little havoring, such as lemon peal
ing on orange or citron pealing will
help out great deal. Ell. Fl. Burns
farmer living on the Esta brook
farm east of the city who is engaged
quite extensively in the raising of
the fruit has tried it in every con-
ceivable manner and be is now con-
vinced that many of the leading
magazines have been misled as to
the new berry which they have
classed as being of the ''nightshade"
variety. Mr.. Burns says that the
trouble has been that the fruit has
been eaten before it has become ripe
which accoun ted for the fl at taste.
He says that the berry will make the
very best kind of pies, preserves. or
canned, and that the more matured
they are the better that they will
taste.
