There is a curiosity in Worth county that
puzzles nurserymen. C. NJ. Willis has on
b4s nIaoa q Kaffar Daar traa that Sc about
five years old. The entire lower part of
the trunk has apparently been dead for
| two years past. Cutting around il with a
knife fails to show any sap, and the bark
has peeled off and the wood is becoming
| season-cracked. Yet all the branches
of the tree are green except one, and have
borne two crops of fruit-one last year and
one this. 1t is generally supposed that
the life of a tree comes up from mother
earth through the sap, and just how this
one is living, cut off as it is from all con-
nection with the earth, is a mystery.
