THE s1OO STRAWBERRY

No picture can possibly convey an
idea of the actual beauty and large
ness of the berry vines and heavy set
of the green berries on each hill, that
are now ripening and producing
crop for Charles M. Hammond, on the
old ship yard along the Mispillion Riv-
er in the town of Milford. The variety
of special mention, is the Hundred
Dollar Strawberry" a new one that
has created a great interest among
berry growers of Delaware. A quart
of the berries from these vines was
left at the Chronicle Office last Mon
day morning, which proves every
claim as to aroma, taste, size and abb
sence of seed, with brilliant coloring.
In the quart-which was just as it
was picked from the vines-cOntained
just thiry berries, with cup heaped un-
til no more would lay on the mound.
Each berry was solid, delicious in
taste and certainly all that could be
desired in strawberries. Mr.. Hammond
will have about one hundred crates of
this variety and the vines stand eight
and ten inches in height over very
wide beds, which are rugged looking
and of a dark green color. He has
other varieties, none of which are of
so promising character. His Candy va
riety-a very late ripening berry
will produce a very heavy crop, but
nothing like that of the new variety.

DANDEL1ON WINE IS UNDER BAN

Referring to the ruling by Federal
Prohibition Commissioner Roy A.
Haynes, Washington, that dandelion
wine comes within the provisions of
the Volstead act and can not be made,
transported or sold, Robert A. Elliott,
Federal Director of Prohibition for
Delaware, recalled that a man was
recently prosecuted in the Sussex
county court at Georgetown; for MAX
in and selling such wine.
"The defendant was found guilty,
said Director Elliott, "and was SEN
fenced to two years in the WorkhOuse.
Because of his age and the fact that
he was the sole support of wife the
sentence was suspended. The entire
question turns upon the alcoholic con-
tent of such beverages. If dandelion
wine contains more than One-half of
one per cent alcoholic IL certainly
comes within the provisions of the
Volstead act"
Director Elliott declined to indicate
what action he would take towards
the sale of dandelions or dandelion
wine in the public markets, or say
whether he would raid any stocks of
the beverages in homes throughout
the state.

Why Not Plant Something
Permanent For DecOra-
tiOn Day ?
By F. F. Rockwell, Horticultural
Editor of "Farm and Fireside"

Every year, in memory of those be-
loved who have passed beyond, we
place flowers upon their graves.
But who has not, on the quiet of a
memorial day morning, bearing his
gift of flowers, paused to look at some
rose or shrub or plant, growing per-
4 haps by an unknown grave, that was
in itself a glorious sight-a "memOr-
ial" which, even though INTENDED,
blossomed forth year after year as a
permanent emblem of the sentiment
that had placed it there?
And yet how often we ourselves
have kept on, year after year, merely
placing flowers that would be wither-
ed in a few hours after we left them
and became an unsightly spot for
weeks thereafter.
This Year, Plant Something That
Will Last
Why not think of that, this year, so
that when you order your flowers for
Decoration Day, you get something
that is growing-sOmething that will
continue to grow and bloom for days.
even weeks, after you leave it? And
that will bloom again at this time next
year, even if for any reason, you your
self should not be able to come back.
Right now is the time to select what
to plant, because you can tell what
will be in full bloom at just this time
of year. 1t may be lilacs, or Bridal
Wreath" (Spirea prunifolia) or Thorn
(Crataegus) or one of the very hardy
roses-according to the climate where
you live. A visit to your nearest nur-
seryman or florist will give you all the
information you want on this point.
And whatever you select may be
counted upon to bloom, year after
year, within a few days of the same
date. The blossoming time of shrubs
varies somewhat, of course, with the
.earliness or Iateness of the season, but
as a rule they flower at the same
time, almost to a day, spring after
spring.
Many Beautiful Hardy Flowers Are
Suitable for Cemetery Planting
In addition to the above, there are
many beautiful hardy perennials that
are suitable for cemetery planting.
These, of course, do not grow so large
as the shrubs, and under some con-
ditions may be preferred for that rea-
son.
Like the shrubs, however, they will
continue to bloom year after year.
Just few of the many available sorts
are Vinca minor, iris, phlOz subulata,
forget-me-not (MyOsOtis palustris)
paeonies, columbine, evergreen candy
tuft, and the lovely hardy viOlets.
If memorial day" means something
to you, give this matter more than
passing thought. 1t is as easy to plant
things that will last or have them
planted for you-as it is to secure a
few cut flowers that will be withered
almost before you leave them.
This year leave a green and living
plant that will become more beautiful
as the years pass, as the emblem of
your thoughts and feelings for mem
orial day."
