M^E present to our readers' attention this 

 month something about "Bonora", a new 

 and wonderful fertilizer that has been used with 

 large success by many prominent growers 

 throughout the United States. It is highly en- 

 dorsed by Luther Burbank, Eben E. Rexford 

 and many others. Bonora is well worthy of a 

 trial. The manufacturers are well known and 

 prominent people. Read the advertisement 

 carefully, and if endorsements and further in- 

 formation is wanted address, mentioning The 

 Strawberry, Bonora Chemical Company, 488 

 Broadway, New York.
