tootable thing in town seemed to have
broken loose, and the ringing of the

An Arizona Apple Tree.

In little back yard off Utah avenue,
between Second and Third streets,
stands wonderful young apple tree.
1t is a rather neglected specimen part
ly shaded by tall buildings, its roots
spreading as they can in hard-trodden
ground, and its branches receiving ire
quent knocks from boys and passers-
by. The tallest shoot Of this tree Is
not over seven feet in height, and the
spread Of its branches is hardly more.
The peculiarities of the tree are that 1t
is almost perpetual boomer, and that
it ripens three successive crops Of fruit
each year. 1t blossomed late in the
winter and sets it's fruit, specimens of
which are now nearly matured. 1t bios
somed again late in March, and the
fruit that set is developing nicely. The
tree is now again in blossom quite pro-
fusely and presents the astonishing
spectacle of bearing at the same time
two distinctive crops of fruit and
scores OF beautiful and sweet scented
blossoms. Mrs. Kate Collins, on whose
lot the tree stands, says that If the tree
is true to It's former record it will
again blossom toward the last of Sep
teml,er. It is Of the Winter Pearmain
variety and has been planted eight
Star.
