Cherries Grown for Royalty.

Every morning since All Saints Day
the train which arrives from Nice
brings a little package. 1t contains
cherries grown in the open by an
amateur gardener at Nice. Some days
the weight of the package is a pound;
on other occasions 1t is two pounds,
The fruit is destined for the royal
table at Brussels. 1t is said that this
amateur gardener manages to grow
the fruit nearly all the year round.
His method, 1t is believed, consists Of
carefully covering the trees at night
with straw mating. The grower gets
about s2O a pound for his fruit.-Lon'
