Sister Sophia Murray, colored, conducted
yesterday the camp meeting services held un-

Bureau. at Maspeth. Long Island. 1t was a
union meeting OF all denominations. Mrs.
Anna L. Smith. the wel-known exhortcr q
white woman, and Mrs. Jane A. Benson. colored
assisted Sister Murray. There was fair at
tendance in the morning. The services were
begun at tho preachers stand. the congregation

no shelter except the trees. At IL o'clock there
was Il shower. the rain driving the worshippers
into the large canopy tent where there was

Although the rain somewhat dampened the
ardor OF the day services the success OF the
evenings meeting more than made amends.
The rain ceased entirely. and the air was de-
lightfully cool. The attendance WAS much
larger than in tho daytime. All OF the board

Last Tuesday evening the members
of the Sunday school met at the house
of the Superintendent, j. Y. Parce Esq,
by invitation, for a general sociable,
and to ''eat apples" Nearly sixty were
present, and, we speak from our own
experience, all passed most pleasant
evening. And as for the "apple eating"
we think few more such gatherings
would create a panic in the market.

Editor Florida Agriculteuist :

Having been much pleased with a
trip recently made from Enterprise to
Spring Garden, through Orange City
and DeLand, it may be interesting to
hear a description of it. After leav
ing Enterprise, we pass over light
sand hills for about six miles.
when we come TO rolling country,
and in some places almost hilly, COW

underground except grass; this ex-
tends from two to six miles wide, of
high rolling land, all the way to
Spring Garden landing, where it fiat
tens down somewhat, and then q am
told) rises again, and extends to Cres-
cent City. Twas told by MIR. Henry
Clifton (who is an old surveyer) that
these rolling lands are all suitable for
orange groves, and extend from his
place on the Volusia road, thirt y-five
miles south, to and a little beyond,
Orange City; and Mr.. Mcbride tells
me that it is even better from six to
eight miles north of the Volusia road.
Almost all the orrnge groves I saw
looked healthy and thrifty, with no
signs of disease. Any person visit
ing at Orange City will find pleas
ant place to stop at DeYarman's ho-
tel; the proprietor obliging and
agreeable, setting good table, and
board at reasonable rates; and they
will find the same at Mr.. Terry's at
DeLand. While at Orange City,
DR.. French took me over the tract
in his carrige, and showed me what
had been done in a little over two
years; they claim seventy families
located, and plenty more land to sell.
I think I was told there were three
hundred acres planted with orange
trees, which is a remarkable showing
for so short time, and considering
the dull times throughout the country,
but it will pay, especially on account
of having SO many groves together
which will insure good shipping facil'
tiles. At the Sturdevant Bros, was

ever saw, many ofthem in fruit, which

VARIETY.
Ihls is persistent character of the
plant and fruit. 1t originates in the
generative act, which in Towering
plants takes place at the beginning
OF the formation of seed, and is al.
ways participated in by two individ-
uals. On the contrary, growth, by
which size is increased, the parts
multiplied and individual buds re-
produced, is the exclusive action of
one individual.
The process of growth is very sim
pie and essentially the same in all or
ganic being, whether plant or animal.
A sac, or cell, containing fluid, is the
primary structural element of every
organism. At first this cell is a
spherical bag, plant, and capable of
assuming any form, and ultimately
may assume any degree Of hardness
or solidity. When young and plas-
tic this organic cell multiplies itself
by one of three methods, viz:
1st. BY forming within its con-
tanned fluid brood Of small cells,
which are set at liberty by the burst
ing of the original sac when each
individual cell of this new brood in
creases it's size by absorption of the
proper nutritious elements through
it's own outer covering, and thus be-
comes similar to the original parent
cell.
I'd. The opposite sides of the bag
or cell covering commence and con.
tinue to shrink and fold inwards un-
til thew meet and unite, forming two
sometimes four.
Sd. A swelling outward from some
part of the surface commences an6
gradually continues to grow, and fin
ally cutting off part of the fluid O
the original, becomes detached and
then as in the former cases grows tc
be an individual similar to the parent
cell.
Bear in mind that each cell formed
in either of these three ways IS th
s,-oO,sct of one 5,adiv;dat0L cell eccL,tS
SveW. 1t is capable of reproduction
by itself alone, it may assume any
form required and take its place sid
bv side with other cells to build VI
the tissue and structural parts Of th'
organic being in which it is produced
It then becomes to that being wha
the brick is to the edifce, viz: Th'
SIMPLEST elemental part of the struc
ture. The single cell produced ii
this way may also become the initia
structure of a new individual bud
which it builds up to maturity by tn
multiplication of itself as above de
scribed, each newly produced cell be
coming an elemental part of that in
dividual bud.
A cell produced as above may als'
become one of the parents of new

ing itself with another cell of SINH
lar origin though different in some
respects. But this union oftwo cells
In the formation of third cell is the
essential action Of generation proper
and will be referred to hereafter. We
must hrst show why in it's future
growth the bud or scion always re-
talns the character of its parental tree
and does not in any degree partici-
pate In the character of the stock in
to which it is grated. When new
individual is produced, by the union
OF two parental cells, it is itself, at
first. but a single cell which after
wards grows and multiplies its parts
by its own exclusive action through
the successive reproduction of other
cells. This reproduction ofnew cells
always taking place in one ofthe three
ways heretofore described, is the
mode of organic growth common to
plants and animals. The cells as
they are successively produced, az
range themselves side by side with
the original cell and with each other
and assume such forms and qualities
as may be required to build up the
structure of the individual being, as
above stated. When bud is to be
formed, some one Of these cells de-
rived from the original cell of the in
dividual and without the generative
union OF any other cells, becomes She

itself, builds up its struct-
ure by using its own eaccIetsice off
spring as elementary parts Of that
When in the generative |
act two individual cells unite their
elements in the production of third
cell they communicate to that third
cell such elemants as may give it a
new variety character This variety
character is then communicated en-
tire and unmixed to all the future off
spring of that individual cell in all
its subsequent processes of growth.
Each and every bud of the same tree
is essentially an individual plant, in
itself; and being the exclusive off
spring of the original cell Of the tree
on which it grows, must have the
same variety character as every other
bud of the tree and as that which
was produced at the beginning of the
individual life, of the tree itself.
Now when bud is grated into a
foreign stock it grows in the same
manner that it would have grown
had it remained attached to its pa
rent stem .. e. the whole and every
part of its subsequent growth of buds
leaves and blossoms is the product of
the original bud.
The process of growth is the sue
cessive reproduction of new cells
from or by existing cells primarily
from those in the original bud formed
while that bud was attached to its
parent stem. And in this process of
growth the stock in which it is graft
ed has no part whatever except to
furnish nutriment from its roots in
the form of sap. This sap furnished
by the budded stock is only food
gathered up from the soil and given
to the inserted bad in a convenient
form for its use. 1t may be gath
cred up directly from the soil, by
the bud for itself, when the bud,
capable of putting out roots is set
in the soil, instead of being grated
into another stock, which has roots
already formed. 1t is easy to see
how the young nistletoe contained
in sticky berry which adheres to
