LADY THOMPSON STRAWBERRY.— 
The marvelous vigor and immense pro- 
ductiveness of this berry, its ability to 
adapt itself to all soils and all climates; 
its apparent indifference to heat, drought 
or fiood, has rendered strawberry growing 
profitable over vast regions where most 
other varieties could not be grown with 
profit, if at all. It is an exceedingly easy 
plant to live and is quick to grow off, rain
