The most careless reader, even the man who does not know a strawberry plant from a cranberry vine, when an agricultural journal falls in his way cannot fail to be amazed as he glances over its advertising columns. There always has been a steady demand from people of taste and leisure for ornamental trees and shrubs, besides roses, bulbs and all varieties of bedding flowers, as florists term them but within a few years the interest felt in the cult are of the grape and the strawberry has risen to a perfect mania. Nurserymen and amateurs all over the country have devoted themselves with the utmost enthusiasm to raising from seed new varieties of strawberries and grapes.
