 AN ARsOREAL FREAK-L. S. White who live a mile and a quarter north of the insane asylum, vest terday brought to the board of trade a. freak branch, resulting from the efforts of an umbrella tree. It aoDears that twin buds, or 9 double bud, put out from the limh together. hey grew like the Sia- mese twins for the distance e. d feet or so one bud trying to make a limb and the other flatteping out like a bowers tail. At this point they were jointly about an inch and q half wide and less than half an inch in thickness, but here the partnership ceased. One bud. true to the traditions of the tree family, separated itself and grew another cou- Dle of feet as a separate and well formed limb. The other continued in accordance with it's ideals for about the same distance before il stopped groW- ing. finally attaining a width of two inches and a half and maintaining its thickness Of less than half an Inch. It is a decided novelty in tree growth and there seems to be no explanation for it's queer shape.
