GREAT MEN
XXXI. IMITATION
AT AN art exhibit in Greece the birds pecked at a cluster of
grapes painted by Zeuxis, so perfectly waa nature imitated;
Appeles painted the picture of a horse so perfect that
hones passing by neighed their recognition; in another instance
one of the judges started to draw back the curtain painted by
Parrhasius, and the Greek historians tell us that so faultless was
their art, it deceived both men and animals. Since the beginning
of civilization men have, struggled to imitate nature, and we have
perhaps more widely missed the mark in laws than in any other
line of human endeavor.

JAPANESE PLUM VERY HARDY
Will Grew on Almost Any Soil and Do
Net Need Particular Coddling—
Come On Early.
Plums of the Japanese variety are
popular with most growers, particu-
larly in the east, because they are
hardy and come on early. Many of
these varieties are the earliest In the
market, and as they are always of
good color, either cherry reds or
light yellows, they sell readily and
bring good prices
They will grow well on almost any
kind of decent aol], and do not need
to be particularly coddled, although
they should have all the care that any
good fruit tree deserves.
These trees were planted four year*
ago in soil from which pine scrub had
been grubbed only a few weeks be-
fore. The trees -are bearing well and
show fine color and great vigor.
These Japanese plums differ tram
the domestic varieties la that ita
leaves are longer, thinner and smooth-
er. and it has a greet tendency to
produce lateral fruit buds on the an-
nual growth. Its fruit Is mostly short,
round and plump.
