The “National Nurseryman” is in receipt of a very pretty 
calendar from the Mount Hope Nurseries, A. C. Griess, of 
Lawrence, Kans. It bears a large reproduction by color photog¬ 
raphy of Cascade Fall, Yosemite Valley, an original painting by 
Thos. Moran.

Gentlemen: 
The past fall has not been a very prosperous one with the 
Strawberry plant growers for the reason that the severe drouth 
not only cut the plant crop very short but prevented digging at 
times. I expect a profitable business for spring as plants are very 
scarce, and prices are going to be very high. Therefore, those who 
have plants will realize good returns. My supply is not as large 
as usual, but what plants I have aie very fine. I am well pleased 
with the inquiries I am having for spring from your paper and am 
with you to stay. Expect next season to increase my space. Our 
acreage for next season will be a great deal larger than this season. 
We already have most of our ground prepared for planting, and a 
great many acres already planted. 
Yours truly, 
W. W. Thomas, 
Anna, Illinois.
