An Expectant Fruit Grower.
Enos Martin is showing visitors to his farm near Benzonia, Mich., what he thinks will be the greatest horticultural curiosity in the country.
Last June, when the big wind cut through Benzie County, it hit Enos’ peach orchard. After the storm, Enos discovered a stem of a weed driven entirely through the body of one of his best peach trees.
This spring Enos found the weed stem was putting out leaves. He has discovered that it is a milkweed, and he thinks it will unite with the peach, and that next August he can serve peaches and cream from the same tree.
