variety is remarkable for two important fea-

flavor. From this little patch, Mr. Godfrey
finds it easy to pick 500 baskets par day,rvliicl.i
he can readily dispose of at 5 cts. per baakeg
thus leaving him 11 greater income on ninonth’d
labor and three-fourths of an acre of ground

who find in these hard times, it a verydificult
matter to treat their families even to the luxu-

cost, could every poor man’: family provide
themselves with an abundant supply. The
