With a full recognition of the spirit Of
the times, and possibly an apprehension
that the stock Of ideas ON hand at the
opening Of the season had been too
thoroughly exhausted by frequent dilu-
tion to be of no further use, our sister
city of Philadelphia hit upon the ingen-
ions scheme of a pantomime party.
Until supper no one was allowed to
speak. It was hoped that this enforced
quiet, followed by inspiring draughts of
champagne, might unloose the tongues of
the mute assembly when the embargo of
silence should be once removed. Com
munication with their fellow-beinps was
strictly limited to the language Of divine
harmony. The result Of this novel in
ventiop seemed to have been successful
beyond expectation. Every one declared
at the end of the entertainment thatthey
had never passed SO delightful an even

AT the announcement Of supper con-
I fused uproar of human voices rose high
above the din of knife and fork. The
lost art of conversation was yehemently
reclaimed, and suppressed talk flowed
freely and noisily, with the impetuous
caprice of a mountain torrent. : It was
further ascertained thatas an economical
procedure this system had its advantages.
Amongst the feminine portion of the
guests the avidity in resuming their
gentle flow of words was 80 great as to
preclude all desire to waste time in in

Pruning Fruit Trees.

A correspondent OF the Country
Gentleman hits the right nail on the
head in the following advice;
"There is one requirement with
fruit trees that we do not sufficiently
consider. The benefit 6f sun and air
in securing good fruit is well under
stood. What we want is to admit
sun and air to produce wood as well
not only in connection with the fruit
but in the early years Of growth, IN
deed throughout its entire life, in or
der to secure healthy growth, which
cannot be done if the branches are
left close SO as to harbor humidity.
Besides, by giving distinctness and
form TO each branch, the beauty OF
the tree is enhauched. A young
tree while in its non.bearing stage,
may thus be made an ornament; and
this can be maintained as the growth
advances. while new beauty is added
in blossom and fruit. Thus we get
the. aesthetic united with the best
condition for fruit. This is aided
by thumb and finger work, begun
with the birth of the tree, arresting
TOO, ambitious shoots by pinching
and rubbing out all snperfuous
growth, leaving little use for the
knife, and SO preventing waste and
shock to the tree, maintaining its
beauty and usefulness unimpaired
throughout"

eighth year of the FLORIDA AGRICUL-
TURIsT, and third of the new series.
Many people doubted if the paper
could be made success in such
new settled and sparsely populated
Part of the State, and away from
large city, but we always felt re-
lance in our able correspondents, ex.
cellent exchanges, and a liberal pub
lie and our confidence has not been
misplaced. The paper now has
larger circulation, constantly increas,
ing, than i had when published in
Jacksonville. Residing on an orange
grove we have facilities to study and
experiment on the culture of a fruit
that is one OF the most important in
dustries of the State, and in which
millions of dollars are embarked.
We return thanks to those who have
assisted us in our labors and feel par
ticularly grateful to the public spirited
citizens OF this neighborhood for the
handsome manner in which they have
helped on the paper. We intend to
make many improvements so as to
make the paper still more valuable
not only to the people of Florida,
but of all the Southern States.
As an advertising organ we are
hard to beat as the paper is read and
passed on from hand to hand until in
many instances completely worn out,

states OF the Union.

French'S Seeding.

Editor Of the Florida Agriculturist:
In your issue of the 9th ult., n. H.
S. inquiries regarding "the Lamb and
French seeding lemon" You say in
reply: 1--WE do not understand what
you mean by the French Seeding
lemon, they are not thought much of
now" You doubtless refer to the
inferior fruit of native seedlings from
lemons imported from France In
our New Guide to Orange Culture"
we designate the lemon produced by
Dr. Seth French as French's Seeding,
not the French Seeding. This is
probably the variety your.correspond-
ent refers to. In regard to this lem
on you say in the same article: DIR.
Seth French, of Orange City, has
very fine lemon growing in his grove
at Sanford" This latter lemon is
propagated under the name of French's
Seeding.
Having received inquiries from
patrons regarding above, we hope
you will insert this explanation for
the benefit of the public.

it superior IN quality, but it is pure.
But the consumer seems to prefer

Canned guavas too should find a
ready market at most remuneratlve

They can be put up with or without

Cotton in Florida.

Cotton, a new paper in the interest
OF cotton, has been issued in New
York by the Cotton Publishing Com.
pany, No. 5 William St.-We quote
the following from it regarding cot.
ton culture in Florida.
AT Gainesville fifteen per cent.
more land has been planted to long.
staple cotton this year than last.
Fully a third of the farmers had to
replant their whole fields. The seed
was detective, owing to housing OF
the cotton while wet in the boil.
Another letter speaks of the sea
island prospect as blue
AT Hawthorn, as late as the 23d.
not more than three.quarters of the
crop had been planted, and there
was no really good seed.
A late letter from Banana, Putnam
county, says that the acreage is not
much larger than that of last year,
while the stands are worse than in
any year since 1876.
Numerous complaints come from
Putnam, Alachpa, and Bradford
counties, on account of lack OF seed.
AT Ocala, Marion county, the local
paper states that the stands of cotton
are very bad, and it is impossible to
to get good seed from replanting.
The acreage will be reduced on this
account.
A gentleman who has Just trav-
ersed Middle Florida, canvassing for
newspaper, says the prospect is the
poorest IN twenty years
In Bradford county, Eastern Flori-
da, an unusually large acreage has
been planted in sea island cotton,
Great scarcity OF seed was the uni
versal complaint.
The southern counties of the State
have planted more cotton than has
been usual for many years past.
AT Tallahassee the last accounts
are that the crops are looking much
better than during the previous
week.
