Apple on the Berry Bush.

To those particularly Interested in the growing of apples an experiment made at Delta, Idaho, will be of value. In the Spring of last year Thomas and Francis Hauch, two miners, who keep a garden and grow strawberries and vegetables, experimented In grafting a scion of a four-year-old-apple tree into a service berry tree body, and to their delight the limb not only grew but blossomed this year and two well developed yellow apples ripened. The tree from which the scion was cut has never bloomed, yet the scion when grafted into a berry bush blossomed and bore fruit the next year.—La Grande Observer.
