Crimson Beauty. 
This beautiful berry now’ being intro¬ 
duced by Mr. A. M. Purdy of Palmyra, 
N. Y., is a Kansas production, having been 
originated by Dr. Stay man. of Leaven¬ 
worth. Mr. Purdy certainty had great con¬ 
fidence in its value, /is he pays the Dr. 
-$1,000 for his stock. He says it is larger 
and equally as productive and hardy as 
the Turner, and earlier and firmer. As it 
originated in Kansas and has withstood 
the climate of that state which is acknowl¬

Spring is now upon us. To day (March 
2nd) is the pleasantest day we have had in 
many weeks. The snow-banks are still to 
be seen in shady places and upon the north¬ 
ern slopes of the tallest hills. As the frost 
leaves the ground the brisk breezes take

are passibly dry. The sugar makers are 
just tapping their trees, some wrecks later 
than usual, and a short season is predicted. 
We have had such long continued and se¬ 
vere cold weather that few hot-beds have 
been started in this vicinity. We think 
that the backwardness of ilie season has 
made our customers later in sending in 
their orders than usual but they are coming 
freely nowu Our daily mail now averages 
from 200 to 1)00 letters and is rapidly on 
the increase. We are trying to keep the 
orders filled right up to the date of receipt 
but there are a few items which we depend¬ 
ed upon procuring from other growers 
which we have been unable to procure as 
soon as we expected and some delays are 
unavoidable. We wish our customers to 
know- that there is some one at this end of 
the line and that we are striving to deal
