fish of every kind have nearly doubled; and the 

 prices of butter, eggs, sugar and even cereals are 

 rapidly ascending to the same altitude. The situ-

 one. 



Berries are nutritious and palatable and medical 

 science has long since shown that with few excep-

 the prices of almost everything else) and but little 

 land is needed to grow them. Fortunately, sun- 

 light, rain and air are still free. These elements, 

 a little labor and a little fertilizing material are 

 all that are needed to produce an abundant supply 

 of berries for the largest of families for the major 

 part of the year ; and they give quick returns. 



It may be added that Asparagus and Rhubarb 

 or "Pie Plant" are valuable adjuncts to the fruit 

 garden.
