Schmidt I People have erroneous ideas ahout the cup that cheers, hut does not inebiate' and it is our purpose to set some of these ideas right. Like the tea tree, if allowed to grow, the coffee tree would attain a height of twenty-five or thirty feet, but it is kept trimmed down to about six feet. The berries grow two in a pod with the ilat sides together: except at the top of the bush where one berry forms in a pod. These berries are round and are called by the trade Peaberry and Cara Cola. They are separated from the other berries by running them over a large inclined belt. The Ilat berries soon stop on the flat side while the round ones roll off. So in buying Cara Cola you do not know whether jou are getting Guatemala, Salvador, Kio or some other kind, but von can console yourself by knowing that your dealer seldom knows any more than you. hJ,icking' l-he H6"'" ,arC dricd in thL' sun- Tll,s is a t'me oi ':! worry lor HHrB,.r"in8 bT ,h,C. con,merc!al vallle f coffee.
