Mr.. Tom Mann. of West Maydeld,
has an horticultural curiosity that is
| attracting considerable attention. This
spring a shoot from a deCayed crab
| apple tree sprung up above the ground
and grew at Il rapid rate until it had
| reached about eighteen inches in height
| It was soon a mass of white blossoms
and bore no less than fifteen apples.
! The weight of the fruit threatened the
| entire destruction of the little tree and

| off. 1T still has the other five apples
| and the smallness of the tree makes it
| quite a curiosity, 1t commands con-
