The best manner of cultivating is to set the plants in rows three feet apart and right feet apart between the rows, allowing them to make a matted row about four feet wide, and to mulch the ground as soon as the blossoms appear, thus keeping the fruit from getting muddy with the rain. Lucretia.—Is the best variety and the one we grow. We have been much inter- ested and delighted with this fruit, which ripens a few days in advance of the black- berry, and is productive of large, fine-flavored, luscious fruit without any core. When people realize the value of this fruit it will be a welcome guest to their garden. Price per dozen, 50 cents ; per 100, $1.50; per 1,000, $10.00. Warwick, Nov. 16, 1895. T. J.

Yours respectfully, H. P. DEMAREST.
