ICE CREAM PLANT
PRODUCT OF GENIUS
New Form Of Vegetable Life Created
Professor Maloni, Of
Chicago.

CHICAGO. Sept. Now comes the
Ice cream plant. "a delicious product of
the milk-weed and cold storage plant.
BY iudiciousiy crossing these and in
grating the vanilla bean Prof. Pedro
Maloni has created new form Of vege-
table life which is almost incredible.
In appearances nothing out OF the or
binary marks this astounding achieve
ment Of mans genius. It looks like the
milkweed found growing in every pas
ture. but instead Of the blossoms being
small they are the size OF a large plum
and glisten with myriads Of tiny
crystals
Thriving best under the hot sun OF
August. the ice cream plant attains its
full growth early IN September. and the
fruit is then ripe enough to be plucked.
When the outer husk-like shell is re-
moved a thin film much resembling wax
paper is broken. and the smooth. rich
yellow pulp can be emptied Into a
saucer. It IS said that a large-sized ice
cream plant will furnish dessert for a
family of eight.
Prof. Maloni has not succeeded In in
grating the chocolate bean or the peach
tree. although he has had some success
with lemon buds.
