Cherry Tree, 84 Years, Bearing.

Planted when Gen. U. S. Grant was a lieutenant stationed at Fort Vancouver, a cherry tree on the farm of Grant Fanner on Ford’s Prairie, Wash., is still bearing at the age of eighty-four years. It has a spread of 65 feet and its trunk measures 10 feet 11 inches in circumference. Experiments have shown that good paper can be made of grapevine. •
