E. Chamberlain, M. G. Pendergast and others a very fine lot was\u00a0put on the market yesterday by\u00a0Martin Larson.<\/p>\n<p>Mr. Larson lives in Nymore, the\u00a0suburb of Bemidji, and has but a\u00a0small tract that he has planted with\u00a0berry wines. The results of his\u00a0care of the vines has more than<br \/>\nsurpassed his expectations. In\u00a0quality, his berries are unexcelled\u00a0by any anywhere. In the lot he\u00a0brought to the city yesterday there\u00a0were eighteen berries that tipped\u00a0the scales at half a pound. They\u00a0were large and&#8221; plump and solid\u00a0throughout.<\/p>\n<p>Mr. Larson has marketed\u00a0over\u00a0sixty quarts and expects to gather\u00a0at least 300 quarts of the berries\u00a0before the season closes.

J. Andrews.\u00a0Mr. Andrews owns a five-acre\u00a0tract on Irving avenue, where he\u00a0has some fine strawberry plants and<br \/>\nraspberry bushes. He picked and\u00a0marketed nearly 1,000 quarts of fine\u00a0strawberries and expects to handle\u00a0about 1,000 quarts of raspberries\u00a0before the season closes.
