NEW PEACH-PLUM IS FRUIT
FOUND AT FORT VALLEY
FORT VALLEY, Ga., July 5—(&)
~Along with the arrival of the cot
ton ‘.'ls‘u, .which ig Eeating the boll
weevil in reducing the cotton crop
one peach grower of Fort Valley
has brought into the ecity a freak
fruit which is it reality onc-half
peach and one half lum,
The peach grew on a tree near
gome plum bushes that grew wild and
the fruit is most vnusual, being a per
feet hall plum and a perfect half
peach. ‘
That appcars to be looking to.!
ward sufficient diversification when
the same seed offers the choice of
two when il comes to a bite. |
It"looks as if the Georgia farmer:
and peach grower .should he pre.
rared for any cmergency and if thc:
reach and plum are desirous ol‘i
caually sharing honors by nature’s
sevistance perhaps the fruit loverl
will Be all the more delighted. !
