As proof of the falsity of receut statements made by certain peon to the effect that Utah cherries which have been shipped to a distance have usually been found to be in poor and unsalable condition, Mr. Carver produces pro-duces a number of letters which he has received In Acceptance of boxes of Utah cherries which he shipped some time ago to friends in the east. These cherries went to Missouri, 111-nols, 111-nols, Indiana, Ohio and other eastern t tales and the reports received regarding re-garding their condition make lnteroat-lng lnteroat-lng reading, i Mrs. Kate Brown Green, writing from Cleveland, Ohio, sas in part: j "I received the lovely box of fruit In good condition, which was Quite ! remarkable considering the distance and tho hot weather. Those cherries were certainly One and we often speak of Ogden canyon and see In our mind's eye the peaches with red cheeks on the trees and the bright green foliage. We shall now compare your cherries with some we cot in Florence, Italy, last year which we thought so far ahead of those of our own country. The Utah cherries can compare with any of them. Mr. Green returned from Texas In time to get a chance at the cherries. We were afraid they would not keep until! un-til! he arrived and they didn't after he got at them." Mrs Cora Eames, writing from Montgomery City, Missouri, thanks Mr. Carver for his thoughtfnlness lc sending the cherries and continues: "We had to throw away a part ol them, but bad euough to make three glasses of cherry Jelly which I am very proud of. It is the first fruit I have put up this year. We have saved the seed aud are wondering If we can raise similar ones or must they be grafted? They were dell-clous, dell-clous, and must look very pretty hanging In clusters as we could see from the twigs in the box. Has the climate anything to do with their sweetness or is it the variety? We were delighted with them." S. S . Schmidt, writing from Chicago, Chi-cago, June 24, says: "We received your card this morning morn-ing and the cherries in the afternoon. The cherries are certainly fine and for flavor, have the California product pro-duct beaten a mile. Many thauks for your kind remembrance." Mrs. Martha Wilson, writing from Worthlngton.

"BOOST!" A knocker never helped anyone. |
