LAST WEEK A REAP It
brought to us a rather strange
green object, the size and heft of
jnice-fllled orange- . saitr""name
it and yoU an have it" and left- .
Ever since we've been trying to
name it,, First we leaked up the
dictionary's word on "kumquat"
sine we'd never seen such a fruit
and •wondered juat what it was
anyway. . • it •was not the green
vile we harbefore us. . ., Then
someone said quince, and we
looked that up; too, only to find
than the description_ didn't tally. ,
This thing is greerrand humpy and
iiefope it was handled much, had
a small grey spine growing out of
each small indetation-rather like
the pores in human skin. . , Some -
.body suggested a japonica bush
fruit. , .. and then when almost in
despair a visitor called it an os -
age orange,• . which, we were
willing to go along with because
we'd never heard of that before.
Filially Gerry Montgomery' conies
Up with the „definite statement
that it is a mock orange," -.the same
thing as an 'wage orange. so as
Lar as we're concerned the prob-
lemis solved... It's in our window,
by the way.' •
