STRAWBERRY HAS A RIVAL.
j. c. Wagner Produces New Fruit BY
Grating With Raspberry.

Denver, Aug. 25.-J. C. Wagner,
who lives in one Of Denver's thriving
suburbs. has produced new berry by
grating the Juconda berry plant with
the Marlboro raspberry. II is said
to be a finer fruit than the strawberry
or raspberry. Mr.. Wagner is work
ing on lines similar to those pur-
sued by Luther Burbank OF Califor-
mia.
Mr. Wagner believes the plans will
yield so heavily that they will prove
the most profitable small fruit that
can be grown. The plants do not
appear above the ground until May,
so are never damaged by sprirg frost.
They grow to height of two feet.
Unlike the raspberry. they do not
form canes, but each fall they die,
coming from the roots in the winter
Little, II any winter care is neces-
sary. The leaves are distinctive, re-
sembling neither strawberry nor
raspberry.
The new fruit tastes somewhat like
both raspberry and strawberry, re-
sembles a red raspberry in shape, and
is the size of a strawberry, but with
out the tartness of either raspberry
or strawberry.
Mr.. Wagner started with six plants
and now has 10000 on his place,
many OF which are bearing fruit.
while others are in bloom. II frost
comes no earlier than usual he will
be picking the berries until late in
September.

such is what the coy Hawaii theatre

famous biblical picture Gain and

strongly to persons religiously in

tonight and is we'll worth coming into
town to see. Manager Noyes is pre-
pairing an especially fine program of
