Coffee in Florida.

Several people to whom we dis
tributed the coffee seed sent us by
Mr.. Fitzhugh, have succeeded in
growing it. On the subject OF coffee
growing in Florida, we clip the fol-
lowing from the SamlGpd Tribune, of
Tampa:
Mrs. Joe Atzeroth, living on the
south bank of Manatee river, near
Braidentown, has two coffee trees
bearing this year for the first time. as
we learn from gentleman recently
from there. With proper care and
judicious efforts there certainly can
be no doubt Of the practicability of
raising coffee in South Florida, espe-
cially in certain parts OF Manatee
county, and in the Caloosahatchie
country. 1t would be of interest to
know if any efforts have been made
i'll this latter region to grow this tree,
and, if SO, with what success.

Profit in Orange Culture.


The San Francisco Bulletin calcu-
lates the profit in orange culture as
follows:
The means OF irrigation must be at
command, although when once fairly
growing and we'll attended, but little
water is necessary. They sometimes
commence bearing at seven years old
from the seed. One man with a
team can give all the necessary at
tention to almost an unlimited area
of land in orange trees, and the num-
Der Of trees to be grown to perfection
varies from sixty tosQver hundred
to the acre, according to the richness
OF the soil and the Judgment and
experience Of different tree raisers.
One gentleman in this city sold from
half an acre of trees the present year,
$1,000 worth of oranges. Another
had tree last year, aged eleven
years, which he raised from seed, and
from which he had at the time sold
twenty dollars worth Of oranges that
season, and several hundred still re-
main on the tree. Still another has
tree from which he got over twenty
dollars worth of fruit the season it
arrived at the age of ten years. The
above might not be safe instances on
which to base calculations for the
general average of crops, but from
the estimates Of experienced orange
raisers in different sections OF the
country, it is within all reasonable
bounds to estimate $1,000 as the
yearly income from each acre of
orange trees after they have arrived
at the age of fifteen years. The
product will be oftener above than
below this estimate.
The above calculation is pretty
accurate for this State, as our re-
searches have found out. We have
one advantage, at the least, over Cal
itornia. We are not obliged to go to
the expense of irrigation. 1t takes a
long time to make grove, but when
the tree begins to give return for
the outlay. it beats anything in the
fruit line Is it not then worth a
good deal Of labor, attention and
patience, to make grove when you
know you will be SO nobly. re-

they will soon clear them off. These
insects are the Ichneumon fly, the

other the scale is not found, but there
is not cause for alarm, it is easily

Profits of Fruit-GrOwing.

In our last issue we gave an ao-
count of the enormous fruit trade of
Philadelphia, most of which is OBJ.
tanned from foreign countries. Can
not some one point out to the people
of that city, who behold that great
industry, that they have a part of
their own country where everything
that they see can be grown, with
equal or superior advantages to that
brought from other countries? We
have heavy protective duty in our
favor, which, in itself alone,is fortune
to the grower, and, above all, we have
transportation that can place the
fruit in the market without loss,
while as much as seventy-five per
cent. OF the imported fruit decays on
its way across the ocean. There are
a great many people in Philadelphia,
with some capital, who are doing lit
tie or nothing-let them come here
and enter into Embarrassing. They
know that they have a market at
home and where to sell to advantage.
To the importers ofthe fruit we offer
superior advantages Tor their capital.
They can lay it out in their own
country without. the risk that they
now contend with. Let the people
of Philadelphia send us some Of their
surplus population, and capital to
work with, and we will give them all
the fruit they want and of the best
quality. We have many subscribers
