THE Der RIES!

This is a free country. You have
right to your own opinion. But,
from where we sit, down here at
Seabrook Farms-the berry of ber-
ries, any way you look at it, is the
Red Raspberry.
Now, we've been trying our hand
at farming for sixty-odd years. And
it seems like every year you'll find
the Raspberries, red and sweet on
the bushes, just about Rose Time.
The roses and Raspberries, they're
alike, somehow.
Did you ever notice how a Rasp-
berry, fresh off the vine, has the
smell of a rose a'clinging to it?
Looks a little like a rose, too, a
tight bud of a little American Beau
ty. Moreover, a Red Raspberry
acts like a rose. 1t loses its per-
fume, its frmness, and favor in a
matter of hours.
A Red Raspberry is fragile-like,
and must be handled with tender,
loving care. And we do it! We have
our own Special ways of freezing
quicker than quick. They are CAL
culated to bring to your table, on
the frostiest, wintriest, nastiest day,
O box of summertime-complete
with perfume, and the bloom of
the sun on the cheek of rose. To
make sure you get all this with
your Raspberries, be sure to men
ton our name-Seabrook Farms.
And, may we suggest, that this
very night, you spoon these Sea-
brook Farms Quick-Frozen Rasp-
berries between layers of piping
biscuit shortcake, and pour on the
cream. Or, try peach done up as
the lovely Melba ate it. Pile on
vanilla ice cream and our Seabrook
Farms Quick-Frozen Peaches. Sur
mount (there's good word) with
a spoonful, or two, or three of oor
Red Raspberries. There is scarcely
a grocer who cannot oblige with
the berries-meaning our own
Seabrook Farms Quiek-Frozen Red
Raspberries.
