THE STRAWBERRY. 15 



end better flavored berries have superseded it, use them 

 at every meal. 



One large farmer in the country consigns to his own 

 table a peck a day ; others provide a quart for each 

 person, and dispense almost wholly with meat so long 

 as this berry can be had in good condition. A very 

 intelligent young lady living opposite, who has 

 travelled the world over, enjoys life just as long as 

 the supply of strawberries continues ; but at other 

 seasons she is more or less of an invalid. And yet 

 there are too many who regard them as mere luxuries, 

 and refer you to pork and potatoes for nourishment 

 and substantial sustenance for body and mind. 



I sent far and wide the inquiry, " Ought everybody 

 have all the strawberries they want ? ' ' and of many 

 responses I beg to quote a few : 



Certainly they ought, and every one with a twenty foot lot 

 A. W. SLAYMAKER should grow his own strawberries. There 

 are health and amusement in it as well as profit. Del. 



Yes, sir, most emphatically. Every- 

 body ought to have all the strawberries 

 they want. If they do not care to grow 

 them they ought to be in some business 

 so that they can afford to buy them 

 quart after quart, morning, noon and 

 A. I. ROOT night. Not only because 

 they give enjoyment but because they 

 are the cheapest, best and most natural 

 medicine to tone up the system that has 

 ever been invented. They are both vict- A< * ROOT 



uals and drink. The man who cannot afford to give Up his beer, 

 tea and coffee, yes, and tobacco too, when strawberries are 

 plenty and cheap, is a man to be pitied. O. 



GEO. J. KELLOGG Yes, and some for the neighbors that have 

 none. Wis.
