nY JULIA BT,ANsHARD New xork.--New York is dc. veloping on entirely new breed of | follrB--penthouse farmersl Harvest time has come to them with all it's pungent, autumn fra fgranoe. The biggest and most suc- cessfui penthouse orchard is Sthe | Arthur Kerrigan'e, atop a sky scraper building in the East sos. | The Kerrigans are now gathering their first real harvest from dos- ens of little dwarf pear and apple trees, every one laden with for- geous, colorful fruit.
 It has required several years, | the addition of many feet of good rich earth, a careful selection of trees and scrupulouB care of every one of them to grow fruit in q Babylon Hangieg-G Garden. Though they experience fewer blights than grounded gardens know, still they have had to work out as meticu- lous Q system of daily baths for l,their little trees and shrubs as any Mss America might advocate. ... However, their pride in looking out their penthouse windows through their coiorful fruit trees this autumn and the fragrant, cid- cry smell that greets them has rec paid them for all their trouble.
