Shamrocks Grow on Hoosier Soil.

It has been asserted that the Shamrock will not grow anywhere outside of Ireland, but Maj >r Krueger of Michigan City has demonstrated that this is an error. He distributed to bis friends on St. Patrick’s day some specimen’s of the Shamrock grown on hfe own ground from plants which he secured while visiting at Dublin over a year ago. After they were transplanted they thrived and multiplied and with little protection have stood the rigors of two winters.
