Faith In tha Seed Catalogue.
I never lose my faith In the annual
seed catalogue in spite of divers and
sundry disappointments. With new
test 'every year I read of those won
derful strawberries, one of which
would fill a tumbler, and the ever-bear
Ing raspberries that are In fruit from
June to' December, and ot the mam
moth squashes which only a Hercules
can lift And 1 am very sure to try
some ot them, and get any amount of
fun out of my anticipations of similar
results.
No matter it the realization falls far
short of the picture In the gorgeous
catalogue; 1 lay the results to my poor
er soil, or lack of skill In cultivation,
and have Just as much confidence In
the novelties which next spring's cata
logue exploits as the "very largest
richest, Juclest, most melting (always
a favorite word) fruit in the world."
1 would not lose my faith In the seed
and fruit catalogues for all the
squashes and raspberries that grow.
