Lemon Culture.
From the Orlando Reporter.

From the Orlando Reporter.
Mr.. Lindberg, who has charge OF
General Santord's grove at Belair,
gave the Reporter call few days
since. The Belalr grove comprises
one hundred acres, and embraces
lemons as well as oranges. In tact
both General Sanford and Mr.. Lind
berg believe that lemons are more
profitable to grow than oranges, and
for this reason have experimental
largely with this fruit. The lemon
trees in the Belair grove are three
years old, and mostly from imported
Sicily stock-a finer and more desir-
able variety than the Florida lemon.
The fruit Is now being picked and
prepared for market. And here
comes an item of information which
will be new 70 at least portion OF
our readers. In Sicily lemons are
not picked when they are ripe, but
when they attain u certain size, no
matter what the aye or stage OF de-
velopment Of the fruit. In other
words, a lemon is ripe when it is
large enough. An expert picker
would be able to make sufficiently
accurate measurement with the eye.
But in order that there might be no
mistake, General Sanford has for
warded TO Mr.. Llndpurg ring just
large enough ior a proper sized
lemon TO pass through. Such as
will not fill the ring are allowed
to remain longer on the three
Such as fill the rlI.g are picked, and

Alexander Hyde, in Ne,o York Times.
In an answer to can Inquirer"
we undertook to give, in last weeks
Times, a list of vegetables which
farmers should cultivate for their
own use, and some suggestions as to
the varieties and modes of cultiva-
tion. Starting with asparagus, we
followed the catalogue alphabetically
as far as lettuce, and now resume
with melons. Of these, there are
two families-the water and citron-
both well worth cultivating wherever
climate and soil will allow. The
melons home is in the torrid zone,
but it makes good returns, with care
ful nursing, as far north as torty-two
degrees, and, in favored situations,
above that latitude. The melon
does best on a warm, sandy loan and
a freshly inverted sod. For the
want of the latter it often fails in a
garden where all other conditions are
favorable to its growth. To remedy
this deficiency in an old soil, make
an artificial bed by digging holes
and placing in them some rich sods,
on which haul some good soil and
plant the seeds. The hills should
be five or six feet apart each way,
and the planting must be deferred

the cold OF December 1876, injured
them somewhat, and they were not

OF ills gave but little fruit in the sum-

An Orange County Correspondent.
Editor of The Florida Agriculturist:


Editor of The Florida Agricult,uist:
The fruit growers of Florida seem
to be awakening to the Importance
of growing lemons; but those that
are writing on the subject are much
mixed up as TO the kind to grow for
market. Such has been the opinion
of the common Florida lemon and
the seeding of the Sicily that no one
in this section has paid much atten-
tion to growing them, except tor
home use. We have here, besides
the kinds mentioned above, the sweet
rind, the ever bearing and the varie-
gated. The Sicily Seeding, l think,
gives the best acid but the peel is
bitter which condemns any lemon in
the market and which has condemned
all the kinds found here by our own
settlers, before General Sanford made
his importation of Sicily lemon trees
and scattered buds all over the
country. His trees are bearing and
many trees budded from them are
bearing this year, and, but for the
cold on my young buds, ! should also
have had them bearing and could
speak of their merits from experience;
but from parties, on whom l can de-
pend, have learned that these lem.
ons can be cut and left in water a
day or two without developing any
bitter, while the acid is equal, if
not superior, to any imported lemons.
Among his collection is the tar famed
Villa Franco lemon, said to be the
best in the world. The tendency of
the lemon here is to grow too large,
especially is this the case when bud
ded OH Florida lemon stocks. 1t is,
therefore, natural to suppose that they
would do better to bud on the sweet
or sour orange. In lemon growing
as in everything else it is well ''to be.

The trumpet vine looks beautifully

this climate where nearly every
flower comes up year after year
without replanting, there is no ex-
cuse nor reason why We should not
have, in time, the lovenest garden in
the worla, where nature has done so
much in throwing flowers at our very
feet, tor us to pick up; flowers, too,

White Wax.

1t will be a surprise to large
number OF our American women to
be told that the white wax, of which
they make such constant use when
engage d i'll their household sewing,
is the diseased secretion of peculiar
species of fly found in the eastern
portions Of Central China. Most OF
our country women, if they have given
a thought to the subject, have sup
posed that this white wax was some
refined product of beeswax, an arti-
Gle that has about it the conditions OF
cleanliness and healthfulness, which
is more than can be said Of exuda-
tions OF insects due TO some bodily
malady. These flies apparently be-
come diseased from feeding on the
leaves of a particular kind of ever.
green tree or shrub, of which they
are exceedingly fond. TIE twigs Of
these trees in certain seasons Of the
year are thickly covered with flies,
who, in time, leave upon them
thick incrustation of white matter.
When this has increased to sufficient
size the branch is cut off and i'm
mersed in boiling water, which causes
the wax to come to the surface in the
shape of viscid substance, which is
skinned of, cleansed, and afterward
allowed to cool In pans. The trade
in this article is quite an extensive
one, as it is estimated that last year
the crop was worth not less than
$3,250,OO0.

quentiy happen TO persons walking or
working under the. trees. When it
strikes man in the tall it produces
a dreadful wound, the strong spines
breaking open the flesh, while the
blow itself is very heavy.
Poets and naluralisls, Judging from
the European trees and fruits, have
said that small fruits alone grow on
lofty trees so that. their tall should
be harmless to man, while the larger
ones trail ON the ground. But this
generalization would be much modi-
fed by All acquaintance with tropical
trees and fruits. Three of the larg-
est, most solid and heavy fruits that
exist, the cocoa.nut, the Brazil nut,
and the durion grow on lofty trees
from which they fall as soon as they
are ripe, and often wound or kill the
inhabitants. From this We may
learn, mortifying as it Is to our vanity,
that trees and fruits, as well as many
species otthe animal kingdom, do not
appear to be organized with exclu
sive reference to the use and conven-
ience OF man.
When the durlun is brought into
a house its odor is So offensive that
many persons cannot bring them
selves TO taste it. This was the case
with Mr.. Wallace for a long time.
