Missouri Berries at the Fair.
Rullala Enquirer
As If ripening with this morning's
sun Missouri strawberries have just
come to the Exposition a lucious,
juicy, monstrous carload. They came
on Ice and were put on ice most of
them. Cold storage got them all but
2,400 quarts only one sixth of the
total but the rest have escaped
the cold storage the Exposition has
been In for a week.
It is just now that the show in the
horticulture building Is on at its
finest thst is, its finest, up to date.
What it will be biter when the
apples and peaches and pears and
melons begin to come in in earnest
can only be conjecturea, out cum
morning the array of California
fruits, oranges, lemons, citron and
grape rruit, the ,cw otk apples
and, best of all, the just arrived Mis
souri strawberries, made a very
pleasing and very appetizing show,

It has been supposed that slra w
berries the early ones came from
Georgia, that the south sends us the
good fruit that doesn't come from
California. Missouri has a good
sized be mirrowed section in t tic hor
ticulture building to prove that her
apples, peaches and strawberries vie
with the best the country produces.
If the display of apples and peaches
later on equals the strawberries
shown now this purpose will lie ac
complished. Charles C. Hell the treasurer of the
Missouri commission, has taken spe

Ben, whoso mouth accommodates
three pancakes at one time, could not

the Warfield variety looks liko a
detached coxcomb, as big and red and
flustered, but more Inviting. Like
most over-sized things, 'wwever, its
looks are deceiving, it Is not as
luscious as some of the others, such
as the Gandy, the Bubach, the Phil
lips, the Saunders, tlie Star, the
Haverland and tho Clyde. There Is
one with a peculiarly anomalous
name. It is called the Aroma, and
why a strawberry, whose scent Is like

clear than It is why the u.irror maze

pealed to. This happens, for you
