TOMATOES
AND THISTLES
They Get Mixed Up, and New
Fruit Results-Makes Good
Pickles and Preserves.

Nature has ways that are peculiar,
and sometimes deviates from the plan
of reproduction to such an extent the.
an entirely new species is prodnced-
Luther Burbank, the famous horticul-
turist, who has given to the world sew
eral new species of plant, has done so
through the we'll known and unslter-
able laws of nature. This sounds para
doxical, but it is but following out
natures plan of producing new species
The bees and winds carry the pollen
of one flower to another, and in
this way do the species become
crossed. Thus two plants whose life
habits, structure and environment may
have been entirely different, are
brought together by the implanting
of the pollen of one upon the stigma
of the other. The plant resulting may
resemble the one or the other. Often
they are unlike either parent, and
from this, by long and patient cultiva-
ton, an entirely new species is created.
A striking illustration of this change
or creation of new species is illus
trated on the farm of Mr.. Will Cocker
ham, near this city. The tomato has
become crossed with the thistle, and
the fruit resulting is large, tomato
shaped fruit, yellow as gold, and as
firm as an apple. The taste is almost
incipid and sweetish, though slightly
acid. 1t is beautiful fruit or vege-
table, whichever it is, and it has been
experimental with in making pickles
and preserves, and is pronounced very
fine for either. The plant upon which
it grows resembles the tomato, is of
rapid growth and very hardy. These
shonld be further investigated and
studied, and may result in adding an
other important commercial crop to
those now raised by our diversiliers.
