Rensselaer Semi-Weekly Republican, Volume 35, Number 12, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 10 October 1902 — A Bud From Rosebud Farm. [ARTICLE]

A Bud From Rosebud Farm.

Amos H. Alter, proprietor of "Bose Bad Farm" in Union tp., has favored The Republican with aspeoimen "rose bad" of bis farm's production. This particular bud with its outer leaves would comfortably fill a bushel basket, and it weighs 20 pounds. It is of a rich green oolor and of a pervasive f ragranoe. Most people instead of thinking it was a rose in bud would take it for a cabbage in full bloom. It is an able bodied vegetable, be it a rose bud or cabbage blossom. Amos says he has others of equal dimensions.
