four shot-. There are no squeezed feet in 

 the emperor's palaces; and Mimchu women 

 who are the noblest women in China today, 

 do not compress their feet. — From " The

BIGGLE BERRY BOOE 



is number two of the Biggie Farm Library, 

 published by Wilmer Atkinson Co., Phila- 

 delphia. Il is edited by Judge Jacob Big- 

 gie, a practical berry grower and berry lov- 

 er, who lias arranged in a systematic and 

 attractive way not only what he has to say 

 himself, but also the valuable advice aud 

 experience of many leading berry experts 

 of the country who have contributed to its 

 pages. The book is condensed and practi- 

 cal, as valuable for the villager with his 



1.0x12 handkerchief berry patch as it is for 

 the commercial berry grower with his t wen- 

 ty-acre field . Perhaps the most uniqueand 

 attractive feature is the series of colored 

 plates, containing ever sixty berries true to 

 size, shape and color, reproduced from na- 

 ture at a cost of considerably over $1,000 

 for the first edition alone. This is some- 

 thing which lias never before been attempt- 

 ed on such a scale in any fruit or berry 

 book. In addition to these colored plates 

 there are sixty-eight illustrations in black 

 and white, including thirty-three portraits 

 of leading berry growers. The whole con- 

 tains 144 pages, neatly bound in cloth, price 

 50 cents. No berry grower can afford to be 

 without it.
