PINE APPLE CULTURE-No. 2.


We will in this article give q dis
cription of the pine apple production
in different parts of the world, leav-
ing out Nassau and the Bahama Is
lands for the last. In st. Micheal
one Of the Axore Islands, pine apples
are extensively cultivated for the
English markets, great attention is
paid to the variety and quality OF the
fruit, which are carefully packed and
sell at high figures, viz. from s. to
SIS each. The pines are grown in
Conservatives, of which many of
large size have been erected for that
purpose. The pines weigh - or IS
lbs. each, are cut several inches below
the fruit, with long stem, and are
inserted in large size flower pot,
filed with mold having the resem-
blance Of growing in it, each pot is
then placed in q skeleton wooden
case just large enough to hold it, SO
that it can be handled without risk of
being injured, the pine itself being
wrapped round with paper as further
protection. "Simmonds" from whom
we get this account, does not inform
US, what variety Of pine it forms, but
we learn from other sources that the
Sugar Loaf is the kind cultivated.
These fruits on arrival in England
are purchased by rich people as orna-
ments to the lunch, dinner or supper
table. We consider that this would
be the most profitable plan for our
people to pursue; to lay themselves
out for small quantity, and to grow
those as fine as possible. Having
water communications direct to New
York from the St. Johns we could
place our fruit in New York in great
perfection and get fancy prices for
them. Even if we are obliged to
erect Conservatives TO protect the
plans during the winter months, we
have the advantage Of cheap lumber,
and a protective duty of 25 per cent.
in our favor.
There is a specie of pine apple
grown in the Botanic garden of Sing
apur which attains to the enormous
sizes of 4 feet long, and 9 inches
in diameter, of rich golden color,
but our accounts of it are very
mesgre. The best variety of pines
are said to come from "Gusyaquile,'
and "Michaw," one of the Sandwich
Islands, producesafruit of an exquisite
flavor. If the Commissioner of Agri-
culture at Washington would take
some pains in procuring and distrib-
uting the best varieties, he has no
idea of what boon he would be con-
ferring on our Florida fruit growers.
| A rich red soil is considered the best
for pine apple culture, but we have
seen the plants grow as'luxursntly on
our sandy soil, as we ever saw in the
rich lands of the West Indies, we
evidently, how ever, have not intro
duced the sorts best adapted to the
climate, for the fruit is too long in
maturing and does not attain the
size that it does in the tropics. The
variety mostly found here, has been
introduced from Nassau as the
Strawberry" when in fact it is only
the red Spanish pine of the Bahamas,
and is there considered an inferior
fruit. Gen. Sanford has been intro
ducing a variets of pine apples, OF
f! late years, which are growing on his

ASTRONOMICAL NOTES.

Prepared for the Florida AamcULTuR1sr,
by Prof. Berlin II. Wright.
The Sun will be totally ec6pse6
July 20, in the afternoon, and will
be visible generally throughout the
United States as partial eclipse.
The line of the central phase-the re-
gion over which the center of the
shadow passes-begins In central
Asia, Latitude $50 north, Longitude
1859 west of Washington, crosses
Behring Strait into Alaska at go
north Latitude, and takes southeast
erly course through British America
and the United States, leaving the
continent near Galveston, and pass
ing across the Gulf of Mexico and
the western extremity of Cuba, end
ing in the Caribbean Sea off the south
east coast of the island of St. Do
mingo, where the eclipse is total at
sunset. The first half of this course
corresponds very closely with the line
of the central phase of the great total
solar eclipse of Aug. 1859. This cen
trail line is the major axis of a spin
dled-shaped belt or region, throughout
which the eclipse will be total, and
on either side of which, partial. In
the United States the belt of totality
nearly follows the general course of
the Rocky Mountains, and we may,
for convenience, say west Of the
Rocky Mountains the eclipse will be
partial, and upon tEe Suns northern
limb ; east of the same, partial and on
the southern limb. The widest part
of the belt about 1870 miles) occurs
in south eastern Alaska. The total
phase will be observed from various
points along the route of the Union
Pacific r. r. Sherman Station and
Ogden have been selected as points of
observation for reason of their great
elevation, thereby avoiding the dens-
er portion ofthe atmosphere. This is
great disideratum, for by this means
the Distinguishing property of tele-
scopic detectives is greatly increased,
and consequently much higherpow-
er can be used, than would otherwise
be possible and give satisfactory re-
suits.

of the eclipse in Florida. At St. Au.
