SOMETHING STRANGE BUT TRUE- The San Bernardino Guardian says:
We are informed by Mr. Wm. Perdew, that there is on his son's A.G. Perdew, place in this county, a sweet potato vine covered with blossoms, between a pink and blue color, and resembling somewhat that of the morning flory, but a very different flower. This is we think the first instance on record of a sweet potato vine bearing bloom. Can any one explain, or account for it? and has any one ever heard of such a thing before? Mr. Perdew is an old farmer, and has cultivated the sweet potato all his life, but this is the first instance of the kind that has come under his knowledge.
