A Remarkable Strawberry.

If person is mistaken and his
mistake is clearly pointed out to him
what should he do? If he is an honest
man he should acknowledge his mis-
take and make the correction AS public
as he had made his mistake. Recent
~ [ said in the columns of this paper
that [ did not believe a cross between
the strawberry and the raspberry
could be made. Was mistaken? In
part was. My friend, S. Goodell, of
6O38 Rainier Avenue, Seattle, called
me up by telephone and informed me
that he had actually made this cross.
| questioned him about the matter
and he informed me that he had dust
ed the pollen of the strawberry on the
bloom of the raspberry and then plant
ed the seed from the treated flower
and it grew and produced a plant
somewhat resembling raspberry
bush, but he added that this new
creation will not bear at all. He says
that Luther Burbank has made the
same cross with the same result.
would suggest that this plant be. called
"the mule plant. Notice, these
experts have produced hybrid plant,
but no hybrid fruit, for like the mule,
it is absolutely sterile.
| consider Mr.. Goodell perfectly
reliable man and do not question,
for a moment, his statement. He is
in reality the "Luther Burbank of
Seattle" but he is so modest that he
seems to have put his light under a
bushel. During the A-YP Fair at
Seattle in 1909, H. e. Van Deman.
The ranch. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1902-1914, 1911-04-15

the Judge of fruits, called my atten-
ton to a new strawberry that had
been brought in by Mr.. Goodell. l
agreed with Van Deman in acknowedg
ing that this was one of the finest
Strawberries we had ever seen. In
talking with Mr.. Goodell we found
that he had originated this superb
berry by system of crossing different
species of the genus fragaria. [ wrote
quite an account of this new straw
berry and published it in The Ranch
at that time. That article seems to
have been widely read, for just few
days ago | received a letter from A.
L. Ask, Salem, Oregon, saying that he
had read that article and wanted to
get some plants, but had forgotten
Mr.. Goodell's address.
My article OH the unlikelyhood of
cross between the raspberry and the
strawberry was read by Mr.. E. FL.
Favor, the Associate Editor of the
Fruit Grower, Of st. Joseph, Mo-,
and be wrote me very nice letter in
which he calls my attention to the
fact that inquiries are coming to
their paper about so-called cross of
this kind. | wish to thank Mr.. Favor
for his admirable letter, and for the
information he gives relative to this
so called cross. He very kindly sent
me proof of what will appear in the
April issue of the Fruit Grower about
this matter and it is given to our
readers as follows:
STRAWBERRY-R RASPBERRY.
Question: | am enclosing herewith
a clipping from the Lincoln, ILL.,,
Times Courier describing a new fruit
called the Yankee Prince raspberry
strawberry, that is being grown in
Logan county of this state. What do
you think of it?-J. q. d. Waukegan,
The ranch. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1902-1914, 1911-04-15

Answer: "The clipping which you
send concerning the strawberry rasp-
berry, applies to a plant that is of
small commercial impo1 lance; in fact
of no commercial Importance. The
fruit is insipid and of almost no
value on the market.
"This plant is known to ornamental
nurserymen as Rubus rosaefollus, and
there are a number of forms with
double flowers, which are used for
ornamental planting. In warm
climates, this plant is evergreen, but
in the North it freezes down to the
ground each winter and makes shoots
during the summer up to height of
four feet, producing blossoms and
fruit at the same time.
"The fruit has little resemblance
to strawberry, but one has to stretch
his Imagination quite severely to see
any strawberry to it, for it belongs to
the red raspberry type of the genus
Rubus. 1t is very doubtful, indeed,
if the variety mentioned in the clip
ping which you sent is a cross between
strawberries and raspberries for it is
undoubtedly this ornamental shrub
which newspaper reporters like to
describe as wonderful new creation"
l have no doubt but this so-called
cross is what is receiving so much at
tentiOn just now as the wonderful
raspberry strawberry. Let our readers
take notice that it is Every doubt
full" about this being such a cross at
all. [ confess | did not know that it
had been claimed that the rubus
rosaefolius, called by Gray, the Brier
Rose from China, was cross between
the raspberry (rubus) and the straw
berry (fragaria). 1t is wonderful to
what extent newspaper reporters can
stretch their imaginations in describ-
ing a new fruit. The conclusion we
may draw from this whole matter is
that the only cross that can be made
between the raspberry and the straw
berry is "mule plant" and the one
that bears fruit is not such a cross at
all, but is the we'll known Brier Rose
of China and the fruit has no value.

The Orders
Arc Coming

From every direction the late or
ders are coming in. We believe we
are safe in saying we have much
more than the usual number OF Gus
toners who sent us "open orders"
to ship at our regular prices their
chosen varieties of trees.
We are proud of the confidence OF
our customers. We value the bust
ness we get it is true, but we value
the good will of every customer
more than we do the money he
spends with us.
If YOU need trees write us. If we
haven't the varieties, we'll tell you
so, and you'll not be disappointed
after a long wait. We're not in
fallible-we occasionally make mis-
takes, but with our careful system
of records we general know where
we are at.
Our nursery business is founded
on system. It's taken long time
to perfect it and we are constantly
improving, but you can rest assuaed
your very interest is safe-guarded.
Clean, hardy, well-rooted, thor
oughly matured trees. That's our
kind. They're cheaper than others
which you may buy at less price.

SCHOOL OF COURTESY

The Illinois Central Railroad will
establish school of courtesy
throughout every branch of their
system. That viii be real service
to the road, for polite employees
make an enterprise popular. 1t is
very discouraging for a patron OF
a road to ask a question of an en-
ploye and get rude, mumbling, or
ploye and get a rude, mumbling, or
quently the case.
1t makes no difference how high
or low a mans employment is, it
is as much his duty to be courte-
Gus as it is to be honest. No one
has any more right to treat a man
rudely than he has to hit him. And
especially has a traveller on rail-
road or trolley right to gentle
treatment, for he is forced to go
that way and very often is COM
PEELED to ask for information.
1t is the sign of low brow and
of bad breeding to answer a polite
question in a grabbed and crusty
manner. But that is often done.

PISTOL MISSES HELLO
FOR THE GRAND JURY
New York Magistrate Refuses to
Dismiss Attempted Murder
Charge Held Against Them

New York, July lion charge
of attempted murder, Lillian Graham
and Ethel Conrad were today held for
the grand jury by Magistrate Freschi
in the Tombs police court. He fixed
bail at $4,000 each. In his opinion,
Freschi stated that the story of the
shooting told by W. E. D. Stokes, mill
lionaire hotel proprietor and clubman
had not been contradicated, and that
he could do nothing but bind the
girls over He declared also that the
theft Of the Stokes letters from the
fat occupied by the two girls wnuld
ha carefully investigated.
The defense scored heavily today
just before the police co1rt examina-
ton was concluded. A. H. Gleason,
attorney for Stokes, was on the stand,
and he had related circumstantial
story of the alleged finding of the let
aers written by Stokes to Lillian Ora
ham by Private Detective Cummings,
The detective, he had said picked up
the letters from behind a trunk and
handed them to him. After exam
lining them Gleason told him to "slip
them in his pocket" That night
they were turned over to him, and he
had copies made, after which the let
ters were sent to the district attor-
ney's Office.
Isn't it a fact that Immediately
after the shooting Stokes sent for you
and told you that there were some
very valuable papers in that fiat, and
that he wanted you to go there and
get them before the girls could Sc
cure their release and hide them? de-
manded counsel for the pair.
Gleason finally admitted that he
had such a conversation with Stokes,
but insisted that he had not plant
ed the letters in the apartment for
Cummings to find.

FACING DEATH
k|SSEL ANSWERS

Washington, July IA voice
from the dead was heard at the ses-
sion of the Hardwick committee in
vestigating the Sugar Trust, when it
met today to resume it's hearings.
An affidavit made by Gustav e.
Kissel, a New York banker, while on
his deathbed, was introduced by 7. S.
Fuller, counsel for the American Su-
gar Refining Company, at the request
of William F. Guthridge, KisseTs at
torney. In this statement, which has
not hitherto been made public, Kis-
sci positively denied that he had ever
been connected with the American
Sugar Refining Company and had
never been employed by that con-
Germ.
Mr.. Kissel was indicted along with
officers of the American Sugar Re-
fining Company for conspiracy in re-
straint of trade, growing out of the
absorption of the Pennsylvania Sugar
Refining Company by the American
Company in 1903.
''The charge made in the indict-
men that I entered in to an unlawful
conspiracy with the directors of the
American Company, or anybody else,
in any way or form, is untrue" said
the dying Kissel, under oath.
1.-THE allegations that l deceived
Adollph Zeal at any time or in any
way, and that I wrongfully and un-
lawfully endeavored to injure him
financially, to hinder him paying his
debts, and to prevent the Pennsyl-
vania Sugar Refining Company from
engaging in business, are without
foundation or support, and directly in
conflict with the truth"
Robert M. Parker, traffic manager
of the American Sugar Refining Com
pany, took the stand, following the
reading of the Kissel affidavit.
Milton D. Purdy, former Assistant
Attorney General, it was announced,
will arrive here from Minneapolis
next Thursday. An attempt will be
made through Mr.. Purdy to test the
accuracy of the testimony of Presi-
dent Earl, of the Philadelphia Trust
Company, who told the committee
that he appealed to the Department
of Justice to have the AmericanSugar
Refining Company prosecuted. and
that the department. refused his re-
quest.
