Pruning and Budding.

The following letter from the late
Geo. W. Atwood, of St. Augustine,
written TO G. P. Rixford, Esq, OF
San Francisco, has lately been pub
lished in the Southern CaH10rmia
HorticultamiSt:'
Referring to the seeds from our
native orange, Twill send you some
very soon, or as soon as they can be
prepared for mailing. Orange seed
are very difficult to germinate-in-
deed, almost impossible-unless very
carefully prepared before mailing, for
if too damp they mould and rot, and
if 100 dry they will not terminate.
Many European nurserymen use
mostly lemon stocks Tor budding
upon as more likely to take. 9th
ers use the citron root as most likely
OF all others to induce the bud to
take successfully. We have used
both Of these, but our experience has
thus tar made us prefer the native
wild orange, which you seem SO
much to approve, as the roots are
more hardy, and are remarkably Wig
orous, and always give healthy,
thrifty trees, and more enduring
roots.
You ask for an intimation in ref
erence to budding or propagating the
orange. 1t is rather loug story on
paper, but halt-hour in my garden,
and few words of conversation, with
the illustrations at hand on every
side by which l could point out com
paratiye results, would doubtless give
you a much clearer idea than many
pages Of writing However, l will
try, and will begin by saying that l
never trim or prune orange trees, or
any other evergreen tree, nor permit
a limb to be cut, or Leaf to be
plucked, by my consent in my gar
den; and this is principal reason
why, half dozen years ago, / aban-
doned and now ignore grating, be.
cause it necessitates cutting off the
extremitles of the limb or top Of the

How the Chinese Raise Weeping
Trees.

1t is stated in Regers "Gartenzei-
tung" on the authority of DR.. Brets-
chneider, who translated it for the
London Gardeners Chronicle, that
the chinese raise their weeping trees
by planting two seedlings side by
side. The tip Of one of them is bent
downward and marched il. the base
Of the other, top downward. AS
soon as the graft has property taken;
the tree that was doubled down is
dug up, roots and all, and the roots
denuded of the soil, turned upper
most, and the stem attached to a
stake in this reversed position. The
stem of the tree, which serves as a
stock, is then cut off at the point of
union of the two, and the roots Of
the reversed tree form the crown of
the artificial tree. In this position
they require shading from the sun
until they have formed some branches.

Strawberry Culture in Florida.

By W. G. Benedict in Moore's Rural Life.
In the June number of your Jour-
nal, you have several articles on
strawberry culture, which | have read
with interest, and now I want to lay
claim for the soil and climate of Flor
ida, as possessing more advantages
for the cultivation Of this delicious
fruit than any other part OF the
United States. Have had two years
experience, as Northern man, in ex-
perimenting to see what could be
done in this, the oldest, and yet(so far
as the development of its resources
are concerned) the youngest State in
the Union, and l ind you can raise
about any and everything you desire.
But this section seems especially
adapted to the culture Of strawberries.
One year ago last fall | bought 3
900 plants, said to be the Albany
Wilson variety. From the runners
made by these last summer, in Oct
tober l set bed Of 5000 plants in
rows two feet wide, and put the
plants twenty inches apart. They
were planted on ridges made about
six 20 eight inches high; under each
plant put a pint OF barn-yard ma
nure. At the time Of setting, the
plants would not average three and
and one-half inches in diameter. On
the 18th Decemberthey were full Of
blooms; also some few were ripe.
If it had not been for the unusual
severity of the past winter should
have had fruit continually from
Christmas until June, from the same
plants. Other parties here Tor the
past five years have picked from the
same beds from January until June.
Hundreds visited my strawberry
bed the past winter, many OF whom
are Northern experts in this line, but
all united in declaring 1t the finest
bed they ever saw in any country.
These plants are Of nearly uniform
size, measuring from twelve to
twentv-two inches in diameter. Let
The Florida agriculturist. [volume] (DeLand, Fla.) 1878-1911, 1879-08-20
THE FLORIDA AGRICULTURIST.

vour readers measure off twenty-five
inches, and think of plant growing
to that size in five months from three
and one half inches, and bearing an
abundance of fruit all the time. On
MANY of these / have counted from
seventy-tive to one hundred and
twenty-five berries at one time, ripe,
green, and just set. Imagine, if you
can, the beauty of this bed of 5000
plants; the rich, high colored fruit,
among the dark green leaves. We
cover the ground with pine-straw,
that keeps the berries from the
ground and the roots of the plants
cool and moist. The bed has only
been watered four times, has never
been protected from frost or drought
in any way, and the berries have been
raised on one of our regular town
lots, twenty feet above the river. All
the land ofthe Orange Park track has
clay subsoil. which retains accumu.
lated nutriments and moisture that is
of incalculable benefit in market gar
dening and fruit culture.
have explained the raising-now
as to marketing. We ship direct
from our wharf to New York four
times each week, and with the patent
retrigerators now used, we lay our
produce in the Northern markets in
the best of condition, so much so that
many growers in this locality realized
81 per quart, net ,on their strawberries,
and as the season advanced, down TO
20 cents. The raising Of this crop
while the orange groves are coming
into bearing, is gong to be an impor-
tant feature in connection with all
varieties ofvegetable growing. =
| would be pleased to answer ques-
lions from any of your readers who
may desire information also can give
references to people from every State
in the Union who have seen this
strawberry bed, and verify all have
asserted.

Acres OF Perfume.
From the Boston cultivator.

From the Boston Cultlvator.
Some idea of the magnitude of the
business OF raising sWeet-scented
flowers for their perfume alone many
be gathered from the fact that Eu-
rope and British India alone consume
about 100000 gallons of the handker-
chief perfume yearly; that the Eng
Iish revenue from French eau de CO.
logne itself is $4,000 annually, and
the total revenue of England from
other imported perfumes is estimated
at 100000 each year. There is one
great perfume distillery at Cannes,
in France, which uses yearly about
100000 pounds of acacia flowers,
40, 900 pounds of rare flower leaves,
32,000pounds ofjasmine blossoms and
10000 pounds OF tube-rose blossoms,
together with an immense quantity
of other materials used for perfume
Victoria, in New South Wales, is a
noted place for the production Of per-
fume-yielding plants, because such
plants as the mignonette, sweet ver-
bena, jasmine, rose, lavender, acacia,
heliotrope, rosemary, wall-fower lau-
rel, orange and the sweet-scented
geraniums are said to grow there in
greater perfection than in any other
part of the world. South Australia
it is believed would also be good
place for the growing Of these per-
fume-producing plants, though they
are not yet cultivated there to much
extent. The value of perfumes to
countries adapted to their production
may be gathered from the follow
ing estimate of their growth and value
per acre, as given in the London,
(England) Journal Of Horticulture:
An acre of jasmine plants, $4,000 in
number, will produce 5000 pounds
of flowers, valued at 81, $50; an acre
of rose trees, 10000 in number, will
yield 1000 pounds of flowers, worth
