Cherry Tret Bears Bumper Plum Crop

Horticulturists c o n f e s s that a "cherry" tree on the farm of P\ R, Deltman near Fon du Lac. Wis. has them stumped. Planted six years ago the tree has borne suc-cessive crops of cherries— until last year, when it's branches sagged under the weightf of a bumper crop of PLUMS!

The change was madę by the tree itself, without a n y _ _ artificial grafting of any kind. Fruit tree experts who have inspected it can give no explanation. Right now Deltman is waiting to SC© what the tree decides to bear this year. — Ben Reichert, Successful Farmer Magazine.
