a REMARKABLE PLANT.
The Parent of a Multitude of FIourishing
Trees

Trees.
For several years two little stunted
coffee,plants led a wretched existence in
the botanical gardens at Edinburgh.
They would not thrive in spite of all
the gardener could do One day a
happy thought struck the curator. He
heard that the African Lakes Company,
that had put three steamboats, ON Lake
Nyassa and the river Shire, was about
to start some coffee plantations in
Africa. The curator asked the com
pany to give his poor little plants a
chance TO live in the highlands of the
Shire. So they were taken away to the
dark continent and transplanted in the
deep, rich soil of Mount Zomba
Too much happiness, or something or
other, killed one of the little plants.
The other took new lease of life. II
stuck its roots deep into the red earth,
its leaves drank in the congenial air Of
the A frican highlands, and at last it
burst into berries. The fruit was fine
and it was all carefully saved for seed.
Awhile ago photographs We're ex-
hibited in Edinburgh OF plantations
filled with heavily laden coffee trees.
They are the gardens of the buchanan
Brothers on Mount Zomba, and samples
of their coffee have been priced at a
high figure on the London markets.
Every coffee tree on these plantations
is directly traceable to the puny little
plant that could hardly keep alive in
Edinburgh. 1t is said that over one
hundred Thousand trees claim direct
descent from this little shrub. All it
needed was chance to flourish, and
when the chance came it proved itself
as useful a little coffee tree as could be
wished for-Detroit Free Press.

remain there motionless until grown,
after which they form tough, smooth,
