 success as that the sun shall rise upon the

ANOTHER good report on the sub- 

 scription side of The Strawberry we 

 have the pleasure of making this month. 

 That the strawberry is the fruit universal 

 is indicated anew by the fact that our 

 subscriptions come pouring in from every 

 state and territory in the Union, and not 

 the least enthusiastic are our Canadian 

 friends, whose enthusiasm extends from 

 Cape Breton to Vancouver and is found 

 all along the line between these continent- 

 separated points. Even what we once 

 considered the inhospitable prairies of 

 Manitoba and Assiniboia are taking 

 kindly to the strawberry. But we are far 

 from satisfied as yet, for we want every 

 man and woman who grows strawberries 

 to be on our list. Won't you help us 

 get them there.''

have some of the strawberry plants. I 

 did so, and though they "were too busy 

 growing cabbages, cucumbers, etc., to 

 pay much attention to them, they did 

 grow some berries. 



The gardener, Keno, was at work in 

 the garden one day, when the proprie- 

 tor's little son, Angus, came out and

 berries.?"

"Yes; a few." 



"Can I have some?" 



"Yes; you can pick just three." 



Soon the little fellow came back, in 

 great excitement. "Oh, Keno, I found 

 an awful big strawberry!" 



"Well, where is it.?" 



|;Oh! I ate it!" _^ . 



"How big was it.?" 



"Well, I got five bites out of it!"
