Editor Of The Fzofida Agricalturist:
have just received from Mr.. A.
T.. Eichelberger, of Ocala, Marion
county, Florida, six dozen very fine
lemons and lines, packed from his
"Idlewild" grove in Sumter county.
They were sent with other Florida
fruits to be exhibited in the Louis
vile Industrial Exposition, beginning
September 7th, closing October 25th.
The officers of the exposition, have
kindly given us all the space for the
purpose we need. We do not ex-
pect to make much Of an exhibit OF
Florida's productions this year, still
we will have fair specimens OF lemon.

hafs other fruits. Next year we ex'
pect to do much better. 1showed
lime and lemons from Mr. Eicnle-
berger's grove at the Board ofTrade
rooms, also to the leading dealers in
fruit in the city. All pronounce 1t
the finest fruit OF the kind they ever
saw. The fruit dealers tell me that
Florida oranges, lemon and lime,
have no equal in any country. There
is not lime in this market at this
time as yet. | have only received
fruit from Eichleberger but have

operation OF roofing has increased
their size. An increase in size is an
increase in value. The question of
rooted plants involves that of trans

writes "We never set out rooted
plants, the experience of several here
goes to show that they are not so
good We moved eighty good
thrifty plants and now they are
nearly all dead, the balance do not

his as probably does my method:

cut off all the roots, cut back the

"Dr. Lancaster, of Volusia county,
Florida, accompanied by DR.. Hill
dreth of New Albany, and others,
was at the Board Of Trade rooms to :
day, with some superb specimens OF
Florida lemons;and lines. These
are pronouced by some of our lead

goods they handle, and we learn that
they bear premium in the Eastern
cities. DR.. Lancaster states that
Florida shipped about 100000 boxes
of oranges last year, but only a
small fraction of this trade reaches
Louisville, as freights are more than
twice as high as to New York.
Conversely the freights from this
