What Ago 90 Plant Fruit Trees.

| am fast coming over to the opin
ion and practice of such men as Pho
nix Quinn, aud other pract ical hpr
trcullUrists, that the younger trees
are at the time of tranSplanting, HE
better their health and growth, and
the sooner will they Dear fruit.
4 great many think that a three
or four year old tree will bear sOou
rr than one two years younger, and
the nurSerymen can testify well to
the demand for trees for " immediate
frHitiRg;" but | consider it IA costly,
unsatisfactory practice. Nearly ev-
| cry tree of that age loses by neceSSi-
ty a large portion of its roots by
TRANSFORMING from the nursery TO
its future bed and in order to main
tain a healthy, progressive growth.
the top must he shortened in the
same proportion, sometimes quite
severely AID 10y the time this is
completed, the tree is really but lit
tie better than ore a year or two
younger. IL happens, however, IN
the majority of cases, that the trees
are neither well planted nor well
pruncd, and the first years growth
after planting in It's new hon 9 is
weak, sickly, stunted, with the least
possible prospect of fruit.
To remedy all this, say choose
young trees, not over one or two
years old. They are in the long run
the best Investment, and prove most
remuneralive. They cost less at the
nursery; the freight is less than one
half; the trees lose few or no roots !;
they are more easily set out, saving
labor and expensive preparation of
the ground; and then they commence
a continuous growth, which expert
encpS few or none of the draw backs
incid, Mt TO older trees, and at last
reward the owner with luXuriant
crops of choice fruit.
! 1t may seem hard to any man to
wait five or six years before he can
get returns from his investment /; but
he will flnd ut the end of that time
that his one year old trees are better
in every respect than his four year
old fancies. This can be safely APP
piled to all standard trees-apples,
pears, peaches, plums, anricots etc.
In no case would | recommend trees
over two years of age.

Florida as a Winter Resort

verse your name William J who
spent last winter in Florida. has
written Il racy little book describing
its attractions to tourists and inya-
lids. lie says the best way to 60 Is
TO take a sailing vessel direct to
Jacksonville. The best time to 90
is III November; that the weather is
not always sunny. Some days are
rainy and cloudy, although it is
lever uncomfortable cold. The eve
Mugs are sometimes chilly, bat with
little fire the doors may be kept
open. The general miidnrss of the
climate, to say nothing Of the fruit
and game, which are delightfully."-
abundant, make Florida exceeding
! ly beneficial TO consumptivcS and
delicate persons generally. In San
Augustine the society is cultivated
and well established, and the people
are very hospitabie and polite TO
