G. W. CLARK & SON. THE JERSEY LILY. A MOST SINGULAR AMI REftAUkl- HI.I’ FREAK OF MATURE, Judge Hammond Tells the story or Hatcher's Pall and Ills Rise Again io Fori uue. Judge Hammond told the News man the following: There was a butcher who was too kind to say no; so he sold most his meat on time. That was a good time for the buyeis, but a bad time for the butcher. Ilis was the coni mon lot of all that class of tradesmen who sell on time and fail to collect. He run his business a long time, but run his customers much longer. His hands were red with the life of many a mild-eyed Jersey; the blood of many a short-legged Argyle had fertilized his pastures, and the lowing of distress went up irom a thousand throats oi the common hard. Hut alas, when pay day was to come it never came at all. So lie closed his shop and held his accounts against his customers and holds them until this day. But hisslaught er pen and pastures were still left to mm, wmen no naa not ntnea m ...... ize -with the blood and refuse from the slaughter house for many years. He removed the building and broke up the land for cultivation and sowed it down in peas. At the proper time he turned the peas under. Early the next spring be discovered a peculiar growth springing up o.i a half acre immediately around where the slaughter house had stood, where the soil was moist, and he concluded to let the new growth stand and see what it was. The remainder ol his land he cultivated. This new growth had leaves like the ears of cattle and were of different colors. Some red, some white, some red and white, some white and black, and some vari egated with red, white and black specks. Tiie outside of these leaves were covered with hair of the colors already mentioned, but the inner upper side was of a delicate suffused nearer the stem with a warm er red. The blooms always came in pairs, one above the other, the one being about the size of a egg and the lower one about the of a partridge egg. The colors the blooms were not at all but were very rich and pure. breeze that ever sighed through •range groyes of the South came freighted with a sweeter grance than that which from these new flowers at quiet hour. The sun-light kissed the cheeks of lovelier than these which bloomed in butcher’s garden, smiling in freshneis, when bathed in pearly drops. Both blooms were liae the graceful Fuscbeu. The per ones has two horns like those a cow and whenever the air is they send forth a solf and sound like the innocent dove has lost her mate. There are leaves at the base of these like the ears of a cow. The kloom is the shape of a cow’s and open at the mouth, with a tongue like pistil protruding, w reaches the lower or smaller which is of similar shape and ears, but uo horns and is closed the mouth and is covered with silky hair of different rich Ihis pistillate tongue has a vibratory motion and passes back and forth over the smaller bloom like the moth er cow when she caressingly licks her calf. On the second day of the Moom, this pistillate longue has attached itsoll by a glutinous substance to the leafy ear of the lower bloom, and towards sundown forms and deposits j in this car a single crimson drop, j pure and clear. Then the larger bloom fades and dies, and the smaller forms a pod of seed. The butcher, thinking these seed would reproduce the mother plant, planted them on his rein: ning land. He believed that he could realize a handsome income Ircin the sale of seeds and cuttings from the new and beautiful flower which ho originated. He advertised extensively, and of course the lovers of the odd and beautiful flocked to see the new won der, and innumerable orders poured in for seeds arid cuttings, which he supplied at prices which rare euriosi tics always demand. Fortune had stniled on the poor man again, it is ' true.but, she had in store for him a muub greater blessing than lie had yet dreamed of. The growth from the seed which be had planted w-as (nourishing, while his original plants continued to produce flowers and seed and while j tonisbment, ihe new plants wire en tirely different from the originals. They were the height of a tall cotton stalk, but much stouter and had from six to ten oval shape globes on each, which grew to die size of a cocoanut and about tiie middle of September matured and fell off. Irn agine his delight and amusement, when he opened one of these globes! lie found that it contained about three pounds of fat, boneless beef, which only required to be seasoned and prepared to suit tiie taste, lie pro needed at once to gather and house liis new crop, and in a short time the v.ijufcis tad lie i«v,s l.reodcas over the land and samples were sent ti various fair an 1 exp< sitions. Nit tore had made for die pot i butcher a cannit g favtcty without expense. JI is meat was produced from na lure’s bos mii and encased in pack ages made !,y na are’s iiand. The juality of t’» meat was so rich and it’s flavor so delicate that connois seures paid fabulous prices for the j sweet morsel, which was only to be I •had from the butcher’s garden, and his order books show the names of the rich and great, not only in this country, but the most distinguished caterer in Paris sends in a monthly order for this rich and rare delicacy. A most remarkable feature of the whole matter is that he has received reports f oin almost every section where he has sold seed an i in no sin .,®to i” 51 *"' n,roLct 6 , l,,s M * u ' v ! p plan-. beautiful i».». u.. t -r soil that i a ever produced ;i fruited plant.
