The Ketchum keystone. [volume] (Ketchum, Idaho) 1885-1899, 1894-11-17

A resident of Augusta, Ca, has an
oak tree growing upon his place which
is not unlike other trees of that species
in general appearance. Instead of pro-
ducing the regular acorn, however, it
is annually loaded with peculiar for
nations, as unlike the natural produc-
ton of such trees as one could imagine.
AS a general rule, the cup of an acorn
is as large or larger than a thimble,
covering at least half of the acorn
proper, but in this case the tiny recep-
tacle is not larger than pea, and in
stead of being constructed SO as to hold
but single nut or kernel, contains
from three to five small ones, the num-
Der seeming to vary with the distance
from the ground, the cups on the lower
limbs being uniformly filled with three
of the tiny acorns. Botanists of ma
tional repute have pondered over this
sylvan oddity, and old settlers, noted
hunters and woodmen in general have
visited the wonder and left without
even attempting to name the variety OF
oak to which it belongs.
