HALF PLUM, HALF CHERRY
South Dakota Man Has Strange Tree
That Yields Delicious Fruit.

hat 1ieidS DELICIOUS TFuits
James Warke of Miller, S. d., has
cluster of compass cherry trees-a
cross between a wild plum and the
common cherry-that are the talk OF
the town. In size they are between
the plum and cherry, also in season OF
ripening, the color dark red, the flavor
and taste being a delicious combina'
ton Of cherry and plum. The trees
yield enormously. They will no doubt
become the popular fruit of this sec
ton, as they answer the purpose of
cherries and fill the bill of plums.
Mr.. Warke went west of Pierre
year ago, discovering on an island in
the Missouri river family that had
an orchard of fine marketable apples,
large tame plums, tame grapes,
peaches, apricots, immense melons,
etc. He was so surprised to find that
South Dakota would produce fruit that
resembled in size and flavor the kind
raised in California and Georgia, that
he brought back samples to show his
friends. Mr.. Warke was doubted, but
he finally convinced the Millerites of
the truth of his find. Since that dis
covery he has not hesitated to intro.
duce here, plant and experiment with
the different fruits, knowing that he
can grow them successfully.
