My Dkaii Silt: — 1 have your recent 
favor and have read with much interest 
your notes regarding your experience 
with the different fruits tried. I feel 
I hat private growers of the state, such 
as yourself, have done much valuable 
experimental w.iik along these lines, 
anti work which has resulted in great i 
(lubiic good, and it is an enterprise 
which we wish to foster in every legit- | 
imate way. It was formerly the cu.stoni, 
as you are aware, for the agricultural 
department here to propagate and send 
out for trial a number of the newer var- 
ieties of all kinds; but the nurserymen 
have made such strenuous objeclions 
that we am no longer permitted to 
do so. 
I should like very much another year 
to see specimens of the fruit of your 
plum and raspberry, and if you will 
drop me a line when the fruit is ripe, I 
shall be glad to send you a mailing box 
and postage for shipment of the same. 
Yours very Indy, 
A T. Eiiwin.

Dear Sir:— Y ours regarding the now

We have just received samples of ber-

Hugo Beyer, the Burbank of Iowa, 
called and left us a can of his raspber- 
ries picked from his bushes which ho 
has perfected to the point that the 
bushes are full of bloom and ripe fruit 
all seaeon and sioii only when frost 
comes. They are a delicious flavor and 
he deserves great credit for his dis- 
covery.
