- Orange  County  Farmer:  “The  hab¬ 
itual  user  of  rum  and  tobacco  necessarily 
entails  a  terrible  wrong  on  one’s  offspring. 
Bad  dietary  habits  also  bring  their  own 
train  of  evils,  and  innocent  children  are 
the  victims.  Few  realize  this;  fewer  act 
upon  it.” 
- Western  Plowman:  “Sow  in  faith 
but  be  sure  you  have  good  seed.”

berries  respectively.  The  same  strip 
yielded  25  quarts  the  next  picking,  and 
14  at  a  later  date.  Plants  vigorous. 
Boots  deep;  stand  drought  well.  Berries 
average  larger  than  those  of  Bubach  ; 
uniformly  perfect  in  form.  Better  than 
Crescent . 
Mr.  Crawford  adds  that,  from  wliat 
be  has  seen  and  heard  of  this  berry,  he 
believes  it  to  be  one  of  the  best  market 
varieties  ever  introduced . 
Whenever  The  R.  N.-Y.  makes  a 
favorable  report  of  any  of  the  plants  or 
seeds  sent  to  the  Rural  Grounds  for  trial, 
the  report  is  usually  copied  by  the  origi¬ 
nator  or  introducer.  But  we  have  yet 
to  see  among  the  “testimonials”  any 
one  of  the  many  unfavorable  reports 
which  The  R.  N.-Y.  has  made . 
This  sort  of  testimonial  does  not 
amount  to  much  as  a  guide  to  pur¬ 
chasers.  Let  a  case  be  supposed  :  The 
originator  sends  50  different  lots  of  anew 
strawberry  to  as  many  different  stations 
and  individuals  to  he  tried  and  reported 
upon.  Twenty  report  that  the  variety 
is  no  better  than  many  older  kinds ; 
20  others  report  that  it  is  inferior;  10 
report  that  it  is  the  best  variety  they 
ever  tried.  These  10  reports  alone  ap¬ 
pear  under  the  “  Testimonials,”  and  the 
public  is  left  to  form  its  judgment  that 
it  is  the  best  strawberry  that  has  ever 
been  introduced . 
In  the  course  of  several  years  the  truth 
appears  that  this  particular  strawberry, 
except  grown  under  peculiarly  favorable 
conditions,  is  worthless  or  comparative¬ 
ly  so.  The  introducer  told  the  truth, 
but  not  the  whole  truth.  Herein  we  have 
one  of  thousands  of  illustrations  wherein 
a  little  concealment,  and  a  good  deal  of 
“judicious”  advertising  pays — in  money. 
But  how  about  the  public?  Oh,  the 
public  likes  to  he  bamboozled . 
Herein  we  have  a  partial  explanation 
of  the  fact  that  nine  out  of  every  ten  of 
the  “high-priced  novelties”  prove  to  be 
failures . 
Readers  are  requested  to  mention  a 
hardy  shrub  that  holds  its  flowers  longer 
than  Hydrangea  paniculata  grandiflora. 
What  shrub  bears  a  greater  number  of  0 
flowers,  of  a  brighter  color  than  the  sev-  ' 
eral  varieties  of  the  Japan  Quince  ?  What 
shrub  hears  prettier  foliage  ? . 
The  annual  report  of  the  Connecticut 
Experiment  Station  for  1891  is  received. 
The  R.  N.-Y.  regards  this  as  by  far  the 
most  valuable  of  our  station  reports .
