THE STRAWBERRY. 
Of all the fruits which a bounteous Nature has provided for the use of man 
none, we think, contains so many charms as the strawberry, none so nearly fills the 
requirements of a universal favorite. Coming at a time of the year when the 
human appetite is in its most capricious state, when the long months of absence 
of nearly all fresh fruit has created a peculiar craving for it, the strawberry fills a 
want whioh-but for it would of necessity remain unsatisfied. Perhaps this want 
makes it more highly prized than otherwise it would be. Still, we cannot believe 
it would take a lower place if it came at any other season of the year. It is to 
fruits what the rose is to flowers; not so conspicious as some, not so hard to grow 
as some, but still the queen. So beautiful in form and color as to be an ornament 
to any table, so fragrant as to please the most fastidious nostril, in flavor so deli- 
cious and in healthfulness so good as to appeal to the most capricious taste or deli- 
cate stomach, it comes as a welcome visitor to the housewife, epicure and invalid 
and grieves no one unless it be the doctor.
