Cherry and Plum Trees.

Can you positively distinguish be-
tween cherry tree and a plum tree
in the spring of the year before the
trees carry fruit? You may think
that you can, yet, so similar are some
cherry and plum trees that eventual.
~ you will surely fail unless you en-
ploy the simple rule that trained hor-
ticulturists follow. That one infall-
Idle guide Is this: The leaves Of the
cherry, both in the bud and Just after
emerging from the bud, are folded to-
gether like the pages in a book, while
those Of the plum are rolled up like
a magazine. And, by the way, the
leaves of the peach are folded like
those of the cherry, and the leaves
Of the apricot are rolled like those
Of the PLUM.

that this is most unusual showing
and one that gives Lakeland and Polk
county distinguished place among
Florida communities as, being on a
substantial financial footing. Incl
dentally it affords the Central State
an opportunity, which its officers have
been quick to take advantage of, to
advertise Lakeland and Polk county
in a generous, unselfish. way calcu-
lated to inspire confidence at home
and healthy desire on the part of
those residing in less favored sections
of the country, to come to Florida and
participate in the development that
marks this State as the most favored
among all others.
