Garden Huckleberry.

A new fruit from Washington State, and most desirable introduction of late years; will out- yield any other berry grown. Grows from seed and ripens its crop same year. Berries jet black, four times the size of Huckleberries; for pies or jams it is the equal of any other fruit grown. Plant same as tomato, in box or pan, and, when danger of frost is over, set out 4x6 feet. When jet black, stew thirty minutes; make very sweet. Better than wild tiuf§feberries for pies, jams, jellies, sauce and canning. This new fruit is insect proof. A light frost improves the fruit. This fruit can be kept fresh for winter use or market. For winter use pulMp the vines just before frost, or after the first frost, stack away where they will not freeze, and di^Kus fresh fruit can be pi^Pi all winter, as they will not rot and will keep fresh and nice for months. One Customer Writes: | Producing a desirable flavor that is not possessed by any berry known. I think that they are as much superior to the Blackberry as the Blackberry is to a. Sand Plum. My wife's brother sent us some of the seed last April, and we planted four rows of plants icross our lot, which is 140 feet long, from which we have gathered 800 quarts of berries, and thev ire still blooming, and young berries coming." Another Says: "I have been in the fruit business as a grower for market, for about orty years, and never saw this fruit until two years ago, when I got hold of a single plant I ned the fruit in a pie, and saved the rest of the berries'for seeds. It is a noveltv^itrv prolific— nore so than any other berry. It is very pretty." y F U111JC I ^T%fr£rffinaA0r£r lntroducJer Tol<* Me : "You will be much pleased with it.

I take this opportunity to address you on a subject that is dear to my heart: Teaching Horticulture and Gar­ dening in our Public Schools. The Society of American Florists arid Ornamental Horticulturists, at their last meeting in Washington, D. C, appointed a Committee to prepare a plan that will be simple, interesting, and prac­ tical, that they hope to get adopted by the different Boards of Education throughout the country, To be suc­ cessful, it will, first of all, have to interest the child. With the text-books and pamphlets for the children will have to go the clearest kind of suggestions to the teachers. Miss Sipe, of Washington, D. C, at the request of the Society of American Florists and Ornamental Horticultur­ ists, delivered a lecture before the Convention, last sum­ mer, on what is being done in the public schools of Wash­ ington on this line. Miss Sipe told and proved what a benefit it was to children; how it occupied and developed all that was good in them: Physical, mental, and moral. Exercise of the very best kind; mental activity, by each day planning and caring for their plot; industry, because of the healthy strife in having things as good as their neighbor. Another point she made was a revelation: When the little and larger scholars were given a plot of ground for their own care, all signs and desire of vandalism ceased; the nat­ ural romping and destructive nature was entirely changed by tire sense of possession; each child respected the rights of others to a marked extent. I could say much more, but space does not permit. I want some help in this matter, so that I may be able to offer some suggestions to this Committee. For the best method of teaching practical horticul­ ture (this includes both vegetables and flowers) in our public schools , I will pay $10.00; to the next best, $5.00;

Augi.._ Should the Committee see fit to adopt any plans sent me, I will further increase the sum one-half more, Very respectfully yours, MARY E. MARTIN. MISS MARY E. MARTIN, FLORAL PARK, NEW YORK
