WASHINGTON, D. c., Jan. 25
Scientists of the department OF
agriculture after four years work
have found a cheap process fol
taking the quicker out of persim-
mons.
Do you realize what it means?
The lowly 'simmon, indigenous to
a vast stretch of American terri
tory, is at last coming into its
own.
Processed and puckerless, de
licious, while still as hard as an
apple, juicy as a pineapple, but
no more perishable than the
peach, it may be shipped across
the continent without damage
and it comes to the whole people
as a native fruit, richer in food
value han apples, pears OF
oranges, probably more pala'
table than any comman fruit
gentle to the weakest of diges,
tons, and capable of being raised
in great quantities with few diff
ficulties of cultivation!
The forests of the Orient are
being ransacked for new varieties
to be grated upon the native
stock trees.
Scions of varieties big as dinner
plates are being shipped ir
bundles to Washington to be
planted in the experimental gar.
dens preparatory to the whole.
sale budding of American sim.
mon orchards.
Hats off, and watering mouths
open to the humble, neglected
'simmon, in the past despised by
all except freckled boys and
darkies, now no longer rottenly
mushy, but firm and processed
and puckerless, a coming great
American fruit.

A style which is attracting at
