77. — Last year out of 4,000 Jerusalem 

 cherry plants we had one plant one-half 

 of which was variegated. We ]vd\-v taken 

 cuttings from the variegated side and 

 also the berries, Tlie seed is just show- 

 ing now and from all appearances it will 

 come variegated; at any event, it is en- 

 tirely different from the other seedlings. 

 The berries on the variegated plant were 

 the same as on the green variety. It 

 made a very pretty plant. Do you think, 

 this would take as a novelty and do you 

 know of any one else who has struck a 

 seedling of this nature? 



Ans. — T think well grown and well ber- 

 ried variegatt^d plants of Jerusalem 

 cherry would make an excellent novelty. 

 [ have never heard of variegated plants 

 coming true from seed. It is an old law 

 that nature will not reproduce itself io 

 variegated form in this way. Phil.
