STRAWBERRIES. 
The strawberry, being the first fruit to ripen in the spring, comes to the table when the appetite 
is exacting, and is a very welcome visitor. It is sa beautiful in form, color and fragrance that U is 
to the fruits what the rose is to the flowers — a veritable tiueen. 
No fruit can surpass strawberries, fully ripe and freshly picked from the vine.!. They are so 
beneficial to health that invalids gain strength from eating them, and they may be eaten at every 
meal in satisfying quantities and nourish the most delicate stomach. 
The fruit is so soon produced after planting that it affords pleasant, easy and profitable employ- 
ment for the poor with but little land, to the old with little strength, and to all who love to till the 
soil and get near to nature and to mother earth. 
The charms of the strawberry do not all end in the eating of It. The strawberry is sure to 
grow, and the various varieties are suited for the various soils. Its culture is simple, and fine ber- 
ries are sure to sell at paying prices. 
Strawberries come to the table from the garden in the most tempting and presentable shape, 
and need nothing to fit them to grace the table of a king.
