Announcement!3

SPRING iSESSION

j$r, ^4

BEGINS

Monday, March 5th, '83.

We will make a special effort during

the Spring Term to accommodate Teach

ers and others who could not attend dur

ing the Fall and Winter. This announcement is made on account of many

iteacbers being desirous of beginning at

.thai time. Students are admitted at any

time, and pursue their studies as rapidly

as their ability will permit, receiving

individual instruction.

A TREE IS KNOWN BY ITS FRUIT. ...

A School by its Results

NEARLY FIVE THOUSAND

In Business To-Day were Trained for an Active, Useful and Successful Business Life.

At the Terre Haute Commercial College.

The best evidence of the merit of this institution is the fact tbat it receives the unqualified endorsement of those wha have been the recipients of its benefits, who are now occupying high aud lucrative positions under the Government, State and County, as officials also, in banks, railroads, furnaces and business of every description throughout the United States and foreign countries. Without such support no institute of learning can stand the test of time.

A Card to the Public. RILEY, Ind., Feb. 8.1883. MR. L. HEINL—Sir: I am informed by men of truth tbat Hess, of Terre Haute, is selling Russian apple trees, south of this place. He has told these men that your stock is all dead, and that you have so advertised it. This, I suppose, is a lie, aud you may publish it. I nave the names of my informants.

Yours truly, ED. R. WYTHE.

2b My Friends and Patrons The above card was received too late for lust weeks' issue. It is well known among fruit growers that Russian apples area humbug. There is not a reliable nursery iu the land that grows or advertises them.

OHKUN OV RUSSIAN APPLE.' Some twelve years ago our Government imported some scions from Rus-sia-or, rather, exchanged scions with the Russian Government. After the scions woro received by our Government thoy were distributed among nurserymen and horticulturists to propagate tfcetu and give them a fair trial, and then make an accurate report to the Commissioner of Agriculture. The object of our Government was to obtain hardier trees auu better fruit, but after a fair trial tiny proved a total failure, some of their vory best winter apples proving only an Inferior early or summer apple, «na not worthy of cultivation in this country, and the trees not any hardier than our own and in no way us good as our native apples. The only way we can find out what Is adapted to our soil •ad climate is to try our best American varieties and And out whether they suit our location. You may take some of the very best Eastern varieties, such as I could name, and they are not worth planting here and again, you may take our very best varieties South and they would prove worthless there. Even varieties good in the southern and eastparts of our State are not suited for our location, and the way we find out what is suited for our location la through exchanging specimens, often very costly. The State Horticultural Society, of our State, is divided Into th It teen districts, and one committeeman is appointed for each district. Ills duty is to gather all the Information in regard to all fruits, small or Urge, new or old, and make a report to the society at their annual meeting and from these reports, and the discussion of members, a yearly report or a transaction is published from the State Horticultural Society. This report can be obtaiued from the secretary, W. H. Rsgan, Clayton, Ind., and everv person interested in fruit or horticulture ought to have one of these reports. They will find what varieties are recommended or adapted for the different parts of the State. The Information obtained in those reports are reliable, and would save farmers and fruit growers thousands of dollars every year. It Is also a good guide for the nurserymen.

The selling of trees by Agents or Dealers, when honestly represented is a calling honorable and worthy of a favorable consideration In tbe business of the country. In purchasing fruit tree*, the purchaser must have confidence in tbe statement of the salesman .regarding the Variety of fruit. Tbe person giving an order 10* such goods,must waste months and veers before he knows truly whether be has been cheated or not. If he has been lucky enough to buy of an honest man, the evidence shown lu fruits es-

278.

What Kind of Evidence is This? ..

Our College Register Shows 278 Full Course Students (thus far) This Term.

We Know a Bright Prosperous Spring Session AwaitsUs.

Because We are Going to Work to make it so..

We have not space to itemize the many evidences of success which have crowned our efforts. Therefore we refer to a few press notices.

tAblishes the man's truthfulness. A man may lie and deceive, but a tree or plant, however worthless in variety,it is truthful in its characteristic representations. Stealing money is far more honorable than deceit and robbing people of valuable time and confidence In their fellow man. For years past Horticultural Hyenas have roamed freely over the country, from the Atlantic to the Pacific, in a garb of well-dressed, refined, educated, innocent honesty, politely robbing the very best class of citizens, both in city and country, of hundreds of thousands of dollars annually. Time and again tbe vile deceivers have been exposed by the press, yet their work goes bravely on. The country is large

and

free, if exposed at one point thoy move on to another, their place being at once occupied by a confederate with new stories and new shams. These fellows, although representing themselves as Agents of some well known and responsible firms usually operate on their own account, buying their stock whereever it can be. obtained the cheapest, regardless of quality or variety. Vigo county is receiving its full share of attention from this class of kid gloved Horticultural pilgrims from the East, who are as sharp as tacks, exhibiting education, brains, gas and brass, worthy of a place In Congress. Therefore I warn the people of this man Hess and his Russian Apples. I deny tbe slanderous and libelous statement of this man Hess and if I hear of any more such reports I will

faw.

iroeecute him to the fullest extent of the I will further state that I have a large stock of young, thrifty and healthy trees, better than ever before.
