Southern Sentinel May 29, 1885
   We have received from Mr. L. Rikard, near Montgomery, a curiosity in a 

cluster of peaches.  The twig, upon which the cluster grew is forked, and each 

prong, about six inches long.  When it reached us there were 21 peaches in 

this cluster, all well formed, between the sizes of a patridge egg and guinea 

egg.  Mr. Stephens, who brought the cluster to us says, about two or three had 

dropped off.

Additional Comments:
Mr. Rikard is the great-great grandfather of the submitter.
