PEAR TREES QUEER ACTION

A pear tree In bloom and laden with
fruit at the same time is a freak at
Basking Ridge, N. J. The blossoms
completely cover the tree and the
ripening fruit peeping from between
the clusters OF petals makes a novel
sight
During the hot and dry weather Of
July the leaves Of the tree appeared
to wither and even the fruit itself
showed signs of beginning to shrivel
UP. Then copious rains fell and the
tree gave evidence of the benefits IL
received. Buds began to swell again
and an entirely new set of blossoms
began to appear.
A horse chestnut tree In full bloom
in Bayonne is causing much interest
among the residents In that section.
Similar trees nearby are filled with
nuts.
