Besides the birthnfght balls there another

on his birthday there would be a meeting, with

The Alexandria celebrations were often ad-

Lee was the orator. Some idea of newspaper
methods of that day may be had from the fact
that although the celebration that time was men,
toned in the Gazette of February %, it was not
until February 25 that real account appeared
During the civil war the celebration of the
birthday ceased. Alexandria was ardently south

its own pet anniversary. 1t was not until 1870
that it began a feeble revival of the old festival

not stay there much, but moved about among this

that celebration in an old copy of the Alexandria
Gazette in which his presence is mentioned. The

THE WONDERBEBRY
OR SUNBERRY
Has Proved Great Success-Thou-
sands Say It's the Best Thing
They Ever Grew.

The Wonderberry or Sunberry. the
marvellous garden fruit originated by
Luther Burbank, and introduced by
John Lewis Childs, the well-known
Scotsman of Floral Park, N. Y, has
proved a great success all over the
country Thousands of people say it
is the best thing they ever grew.
Mr.. John Burroughs, the well-known
author, Naturalist and bosom-friend of
Theodore Roosevelt, says it is the
most delicious pie berry he ever tasted,
and a marvellous croppeF.
A Director of the New York Agricul-
tural Experiment Station says it fruits
abundantly even in pure sand. In the
short season of Northwestern Canada
1t is a godsend, and fruits long after
frost has killed most garden truck
D. S. Hall, Wichita, Kan, says thirty
people grew it there last season with
perfect satisfaction.
K. S. Enochs, Hammond, La, says
it yields $3.50 worth of fruit per
acre with him. Mrs. J.. H. Powers,
4732 Kenw God avenue, Chicago, raised
enough berries on a space 4x10 feet
to supply herself and friends.
J. P. Swallow, Kenton, Ohio, says its
equal for all purposes does not exist.
Rev. H. B. Sheldon, Pacific Grove,
Cal, says he likes the berries served
in any and every way.
w. T. Davis, Enon, Va, says it is
true to description in every way, and
fruits in three months from seed.
Judge Morrow, of U. S. Circuit
Court, says the Wonderberry is simply
delicious raw or cooked.
Mr.. Childs exhibited one plant five
months old bearing 1O,375 berries
which measured about eight quarts.
Mrs. Hattie Vincent, Hayden, New
Mexico, says it stands the long, hard
droughts of that climate and fruits
abundantly all summer.
1t is certainly the most satisfactory
garden fruit and the greatest Novelty
ever introduced.
