p. 0. Hickman, noted citrus
fruit grower of Alligator creek,
presented The Herald, Tuesday,
with a cluster of seven lines grow
ing on one twig as thick as three
in bed. 1.-THE lines are sports, "
and we have named them Rick
mons nipples, because each lime
has a small protuberance on its
bud end. They are average size,
as juicy as any we have ever
seen, and the tree (or BUSH is
simply loaded with fruit. Mr..
Hickman bought the tree under
the name of some other fruit; but,
as it did not yield what he ex-
pected, he tried to kill it with the
result that he converted it into a
superb, very prolific lime tree.

of a strong organization, which
is doing more than any other a
gency to foster Catholicism by an
mreasoning opposition. The early
Christian chruch and later the
Protestant church grew faster
