have them fertilized by some other plants. We were pleased 

 when we found this Clyde, it is a strong grower so we have to 

 set the plants in rows three feet apart and the berries are very 

 large. They will give us not only what pollen we want to fer- 

 tilize the other berries, but give us a large amount of fruit, per- 

 haps full as much as the old Crescent. 



The Enhance is a fair berry, gives a fair amount of fruit but 

 is not handsome. A ery seedy, not a pretty berry and does not 

 give us as much fruit as some of them. 



Q. What would be your choice for market ? 



A. Remember one thing, what would be my choice and give 

 me the most fruit would perhaps give very little fruit on my 

 neighbor's ground. For us, we would probably get as much 

 fruit from the Crescent, and Greenville with the Clyde for a 

 fertilizing plant as from any other. 



The Parker Earle is a good berry and almost equal in flavor 

 to the field berry. 



The Marshall, grown free from rust, is a berry for quality 

 above anything I have seen. 



Q. What is your best early berry ? 



A. There is not so much difference as a great many people 

 imagine between early and late berries. I have been disap- 

 pointed in setting what were called early berries. The Beder 

 Wood we will get, perhaps four or five days earlier than the 

 Crescent. Then the Crescent a week before the Greenville. 

 The Greenville will give us as late fruit as we shall have. You 

 cannot prolong the strawberry season a great many weeks. 



Prof. Cook — There is one lesson I want to call your attention 

 to. How many little girls finding an unusually large strawberry 

 would do anything to develop it in the future. How important 

 that children should be taught the powers of observation and 

 thought, and how important that we as children of larger growth 

 should cultivate these powers also. It makes a wonderful dift'er- 

 ence in life whether we see things and look for them, or pass 

 them by without notice. Edison's success is due to just that 

 thing. He met a sand bar on the New Jersey coast. He looked 

 at it and examined it and kept on until he not only made a mill- 

 ion of dollars out of it for himself but gave work to those who 

 but for him would have had to go West for employment. We
