From the Farmer and Fruit Grower, Anna, Ill.
The visit of General Grant and
party to Florida, and the illustrated
accounts of their reception and travels
in that state as published In Ha1per'S
weekly and other journals, have
directed no small amount of attention
to the delightful climate and wonder
fully varied products there to be
found. The beautiful lakes, clear
streams, pure air, sunny skies, luscious
fruits, most excellent fish and abun-
dant game are the delight of all visi
tors. Florida has the honor of open
ing the season with the first exposl.
tion and State Fair of the year,
which is held all this week, February
"a to 90, at Jacksonville. Three
thousand dollars are to be awarded
in cash. A grand military review OF
infantry and artillery, ,ireman's parade
and practice, brass band competition,
trotting and racing on magnificent
speed ring, and steamboat excursions
are among the prominent things.
Florida strawberries are quoted
now in New York at IS cents per
quart oranges at 81 per half barrel
green pease at s3 per crate Of one
bushel. 1t is a pleasant thing to
read OF the progress that Florida is
making as fruit and garden state.
Within very few years she has
made great advancement, and now
stands in about the same relation to
New York as southern Illinois does
to Chicago, the chief source OF sup
ply of early vegetables and choice
fruit. The tariff between Florida
and New York is from 80 cents to
IS cents per bushel by water, time
four days, distance 100 miles. For
the gardener and fruit grower, no bet
ter location can be found than here
in Union county, Illinois; but if, tor
any reason, a more southern point is
to be chosen, the banks OF the lovely
st. Johns river in Florida present
many advantages and attractions
that are worthy OF consideration.
The FLORIDA AGRICULTURTsL pub
lished at DeLand, VoMsia county,
Florida, is a good exponent OF the
state interests.

such ideas as my experience justifies.
First in Importance is perhaps the
lemon, it being not only one OF the
greatest luxuries but a medicine of
acknowledged virtue. The variety
most in favor here 1 am not able to
classify, but is one of the Mediterra-
mean fruits. 1t makes bush rather
than a tree, and bears in three years
from the seed. 1t is oblong in shape
and when allowed to ripen on the
tree is rather large and rough but
when picked just as it is ready to
turn to ripen, put in close place, in
bulk, sweated FIVE or six days, and
exposed to the air for the same
length of time it becomes much
smaller and smoother. The juice is
very acid and the rind of excellent
flavor, though the rind if cooked
without extracting the bitter quality
(Which is done by soaking in strong
salt and water for several days) is
not good; yet when prepared it
makes most excellent preserve.
The green, ripe fruit, and bloom may
be picked nine months in the year.
Trees at four years of age should
give from $50 to 200 marketable
lemons, worth about as much as oran-
ges at any season, and great deal
more at the season when the Sicily
fruit is out of the market, or at least
when scarce and high. These trees
are not injured by any of the enc
mics of the orange. Cattle will not
eat them, hence, to make a grove,
fencing may be dispensed with.
They will thrive where the orange
will die outright. From $50 to 200
trees may be amply accommodated
ON an acre OF ground. The cultlvat-
ing, tertilizing, ETC., just as our pleas
s,i<s--the..- . sssoposrf0us e II
generally conceded hereabouts that
the less tertilizing after the tree be-
gins to fruit the better the quality.
incline 10 the opinion myself but
am not positive. Everything have
said here Of the lemon is true of the
lime, excepting the continual fruit
ing, which is not generally the case,
though will be so this year, | think.
The lime is smaller in size, hence the
tree produces a great many more
fruit say from five to fifteen hundred
at four years Of age.
! The citron is fruit destined to
play a prominent part in our traffic,
at perhaps no distant day. 1t too is
an early bearer, rapid grower and
prolific truiter. Three trees in my
yard, five years of age, gave not less
than $50 pounds of fruit which, when
preserved, is worth from II to 30
cents a pound at wholesale.
The guava is among the most pop
ular fruits of the day, and one OF the
most excellent in the list. 1t is a
rapid grower and often bears at two
years. Young trees give much the
finest fruit and almost every day III
the year, the principle crop, though, is
in August and September. They are
canned, preserved, or made into mar
malade and jelly. Great fortunes
will be made from this fruit. l
think guava grove should be
killed out about every six years, and
new and young trees reset. Some
250 trees may be set out on an acre
OF land, These should give, at four
years Of age, some two bushels OF
fruit each More anon.
