WONDERFUL DISCOVERY
DIR. Stene Succeeds In Grating Fig

One of the greatest botanical dis
coVeries made has been worked out
successfully by DR.. Geo. S. Stone, of
Fort Myers, which will undoubtedly
reyolutiontze the growing of figs.
During the past few weeks success
full grating of the fig bush was made
on hardy tree root. This is the re-
suit of over five years study and ex-
perimentati0n towards grating of
the fig on root that would develop
the fig bush or shrub into a large
tree and give it root that would
Withstand the assault of worm that
destroys fig growth in the southern
section Of Florida Not only has he
made ii possible to graft on a hardy
tree root but on root that makes
one Of the most rapid growths. Since
the fig fruits the first year of its
growth and every year thereafter it
will make an industry from which
almost immediate returns may be
profitabIy secured. DR.. Stone asserts
that such a fig grove would bring
commercial returns five times great
er than any citrus grove in this SUBJ
tropical section of Florida. DR.. Stone
was formerly resident of Punta
Gorda many years, but since last
summer has made Fort Myers his
home, and resides with his family at
the corner of Jackson and Second
street.
