Another of the oddities of
nature is on display in the office
of the Post. It is a tomato from the
garden • of Jack Clark. It is a
tomato but it looks more like a
flower. Front the one stem there
are eight nicely formed tomatoes
of various sizes. With the bright
natural colour of the tomato it
makes an attractive display and I
do 'not doubt but what each
separate one would be right tasty.
