winter use. We trust the time =
coming when okra will be considered
a necessary in every farmers garden.
Nutriment and health are found i'll
this vegetable. The Dwarf and
Prolific varieties are the best.
The onion needs no praise. Its
fragrance speaks tor itself in every
farmers kitchen in the land; but,
strange to say, we do not find it
growing in every farmers garden,
and we often hear farmers complain
ing that they cannot raise this vege
table from seed. The complaint is
that they get great tops and no bulbs,
and are, therefore, compelled TO
plant sets. Whether we raise onions.
or sculliops, as the thick necked
onions are called, depends mainly
upon the soil. This vegetable re-
quires, for successful cultivation,
sandy or gravelly loan, rich with
inorganic food, such as potash, phos
phate and sulphate OF lime, and wood
ashes, and if sown on soil abounding
in organic matter even though en-
riched by barn-yard manure, the
product is apt to be tops rather than
bulbs. Sea. weed is often used as a
fertilizer for onions, but sea-weed,
though nominally organic, furnishes
much saline food. We never fail of
a good crop OF onions from seed
when we SOW on sandy loan, pro-
perly mellowed and enriched with
phosphate of lime and wood.ashes.
Sets, or button onions, give "a sure
and early crop, but we much prefer
to SOW the seed for Fall and winter
use. This should be sown as soon as
the ground is dry enough to allow of
being worked, as we want the crop
to mature in August. 1t is well to
SOW an abundance of seed, and to
let the bulbs crowd each other in the
drills. If they lie as thick as "three
in a bed" all the better, for if
crowded they will not be overgrown,
and small, compact onion is prefer
able to one of mammoth size. The
Bermudans are famous onion grow
ers, and the cultivators there SOW
the seed broadcast in well prepared
beds, and transplant into drills. This
can be done where labor Is cheap,
but we never expect to see Yankees
raising onions in this way. 1t is
thouo6t by some that Bermuda
onions are milder than those home
concluded on poge 64.)

Report of the New Smyrna A. and
II. q. Association.

Editor Of the Florida AgricuHwist:
Meeting held Wednesday, June
10th, 1880, at the residence of Mr.. NJ.
Lewis. Mr. Lewis fruit trees and
grape vines are making a very vigor-
ons growth. Some buds of the ever
bearing mulberry, put in last March,
are now over twelve feet in length
and some ripe fruit has been picked
from them. The scuppernong vines
are full of fruit and several young fig
trees will average over three bushels
OF figs to each tree. A shower pre-
vented visit to his hammock where
he has 300 sweet seedlings in his
grove, making the best Seeding
grove of its age in this part of the
county. He will have over 200 Or
anges on his young trees. After an
excellent dinner (among the good
things of which, were some very nice
Irish potatoes, cabbages and water
melons, raised by Mr.. Lewis in his
hamnock) the meeting was called to
order by Mr.. A. G. Spencer who was
chosen chairman Of the meeting, the
president and vice. president both be-
ing absent. Reports OF committees
being attended to the society list
ened to a very interesting essay upon
Grape Culture, by Mr.. Il. D. Smith.
The grape was discussed at some
length, the best varieties for culture
it this climate, also pruning OF the
scuppernong vines. The society ad-
journed till the third "Wednesday in

roads laid out by this bridge and the
roads leading TO it, we have new
lands opened up for settlements.
And people do get over this way and
locate once in while in spite of the
lies and misrepresentation circulated
about the coast along the ST.. Johns
river; and when they do get over
they are not going back to the St.
Johns to locate either-"hardly
ever"
Why, sir, it is surprising TO learn
from those boat agents, and others
along that river, that we have but
two feet of water on our bar at any
time and that schooners and other
vessels, running with supplies for the
coast, have to lie off the shore and
wait for calm to get an opportunity
to beach the freight and passengers :;
that the nearest way to get to Day
tona is via T'itusville, etc; while we
havea good inlet here-vessels draw
ing seven feet of water frequently
pass in over the bar-and large navi-
gable rivers uniting at the inlet from
the north and south. Hurry up that
DeLand railroad and disrel those il
lusions concerning us, and then when
the trains come in our hotels and cot
tages will be filled in summer as well
as in winter, with those who find the
heat on the sand hills or rolling ppe
woods, uncomfortable and seek til.

shady hammocks of the sea shore.

to a watermelon is, however, not So
great an objection as some suppose
as it makes one of the best OF pickles.
Verv few northern farmers raise
their own watermelons. Some OBJ
iect to them as being indigestible,
others think it cheaper to purchase
than to cultivate. Children are, with
few exceptions, great lovers of this
family OF melons, and we speak from
experience when we say that we
never knew one to be injured by
eating them. OF course, there is
such thing as intemperance in their
use, but children should be taught
to "be temperate in all things"
There is no difficulty in raising
watermeons at the north. We al
ways expect large crop when we
change our garden from an old soil
to fresh sod, and to All old garden
few fresh sods can be easily trans
ferred, as we have already suggested.
The cultivation of the citron or
musk melon is much the same as that
of the water family, except that the
hills need not be quite 50 far apart,
as the vines are not such gaeat run
ners. The citron is the harder of
the two families, is generally prefer
red by mature and cultivated tastes,
and is more generally cultivated.
The best varieties are the Melted
Nutmeg, having webbed or netted
green rind, and a green, sweet, melt
ing, high. flaw ored flesh. The Jenny
Lind is smaller and earlier variety,
and should be found in every family
garden, but is rather too small for
the market. There may be better
varieties than the Nutmeg. All
that we can testify is that we have
never tasted a better, and think Il
good specimen is good enough. The
great trouble with melons and all
such products is to secure fine seed.
1t Is not safe even to rely upon those
of our own raising, as insects are con-
stantly flying from one garden to an
other, carry pollen and generating
hybrids, or, as farmers call them,
mongrels. We must add that the
small and immature melons, when
cleaned and stuffed with little Gu.
cumbers, radish.pods, bits OF cauli-
flower, and other tender vegetables,
make pickle called mango, fit for an
epicure, and good for Thanksgiving.
IL would be well if the American
housewife would gather up their
fragments, that nothing be lost, as
