Now Frmlt Originates In YaISimn.

BY accident a Yakima fruitraiser
has scored a wonderful hit in the
horticultural market. The Yakima
Republic tells of 1t as follows:
\. NJ. Gale, who is known as the
originator OF a new kind of fruit
which combines some of the qualities
of the peach, apricot and plum, states
today that he has sold already $4,000
worth of buds from the tree for graft
ing purposes and he expects to make
S2500 more before the end of the sea-
son. In addition to this Mr.. Gale has
a splendid show of peaches in his
three-acre orchard and believes that
they will return him $4,000 or better
this year. The peaches are among
the best sen in the valley
Mr.. Gale has had somewhat
unique experience. When he took up
his orchard a few years ago he had a
hard struggle to make ends meet. In
a shipment of apricot trees was one
tree which was not an apricot. Dur
ing the floods one year the tree was
broken down and stood broken and
bent for a season until Mr.. Gale
thought II was dead. However, he
Strengthened up the forlorn tree and
it bore fruit the next season. But the
fruit was not apricot and 1t was not
peach, but 1t was very good to eat.
Mr. Gale accordingly grated some
of the buds onto peach trees and the
result is the fruit which he has chris
tened "Yakimeens."
A South Carolina man recently
wrote Mr.. Gale for sample OF the
| fruit and on receiving it-and 1t was
in fine condition after eight days
travel by mail-he sent a check for
| $500 for 500 buds, stating that 1t was
just what he was looking for.
| Mr.. Gale expects to clean up $25,-
: 900 as the result of his experiment in
| the next year or two-a satisfactory
return for caring for an apparently
dead tree and which came from no.
| body knows where.
