A Wonderful Tree,

In the doorway of A. Fl. Tufts of Pomona
there is young orange tree that is a mar
vel. says the Los Angeles Times. 1t was
small tree, budded one year when set two
years ago-in June, 1889. 1t is now not a
large tree, and the wonder Is how it can
support the enormous crop of fruit it has.
There are 206 fine large oranges on this tree,
and they are coloring like those upon trees
bearing but few. 1t is Malta blood and
made good growth the first year and a
moderate growth this year. In one cluster
about the main stem there are sixteen
oranges, and branch ne-half inch through
has nineteen upon ii. Could such tree be
shown at the Columbian Exposition what
tide of emigration would be turned toward
the orange lands of California!
