From The Rlverside Press.
A Florida correspondent writes
Tor information:
81 would like to ask ior information
as to the Riverside Navel orange.
Is it Il distinct variety from the Bahia
or Navel Also, is the Paper>rlna
4 California seedling:"
The Riverside Navel is a direc;
importation from Bahia, Brazil,
through the Agricultural Depart
ment at Washington. Until the tees
truited it was supposed to be the
same as the Navel previously impor,
ted TO this State from Florida and
Australia. As soon as the Bahia
trees truited it was seen at glance
that the fruit was superior TO the
Navel imported from other places,
and the superiority of the fruit was
so marked that il was a. once named
the Riverside Navel TO distiu guish it
from the other Navel, which was
N"NA ~NAAN' tuc <1uSbI allan ~ NV Ci
to distinguish the two.
The cause of difference in the two
Navels Is not so easy OF explanation,
put II Is generally thought that the
Riverside Navel being direct i'm
poitalion is pure, while those trees
brought from Australia more parties
ularly might have been propagated
on inferior stocks Tor number OF
years until the fruit mad deteriorated
inquality.
The Paper-rind St. Michael orange
is an imported fruit. The tree is a
prolific bearer the fruit is small, high
iy favored, juicy, and has a very thin
rlnd. We have another orange
known as the Large St. Michael to
d>rlngulSh it from the other. 1t is
about the size Of the Navel and is a
line fruit. Both ar. imported and
Our fruit growers know but little re-
garding the origin OF the two.

Muck.

awe receive so many letters Of ln~
qairy about the value Of muck that
we may as well give the informa>
ton in the paper. what OR expert
ence has taught us. We have
found four varieties Of Muck in
Florida, two OF which are worthless
or nearly 50, and TWO are valuable.
OF the frs, that tiom shallow pords
will not pay removal; it appears
black and rich to the eye, but stir
some in q tumbler OF water and al
low to settle, and i: will show only
pure sand, with thin scum on top.
The other kind we found on the
marsh lands OF the lower St. johns
River, which looked rich; but on ex.
posure TO the air became as hard as
stone in little time. The good
sorts are, first, that that is formed
by the overflow Of the river
along its banks, consisting OF de.
cayed vegetable matter with deposit
of mud. The best muck, however,
is that found in natural muck
ponds, sometimes Oh high land,
and is from four to ten feet
deep. 1t has been formed by accu>
mutation for centuries of decayed
aquatic plants, ashes blown off the
ground by the winds after fire, dead
animals that have become begged,
Groppings OF cattle that frequent the
ponds, and other plant food materials.
This muck makes a good mulch il
only spread on the ground, and ell
riches the land and is valuable if
composted with lime and salt. II
eau be made also very valuable if
composted with fish.

Prominent citizens OF San Mateo
write us that this may properly be
called the bearing year of the orange
trees at that place, as many of the
trees and groves have fallen into the
habit ofproducing profusely one year
and resting ,he second. The number
of oranges on the trees this year esti.
mated at 100000. The area en-
braced in this estimate covers all the
territory north OF Mill creek and south
of Duun's creek. Of this number of
oranges, 100000 are growing on
hammock land and 100000 on pine
land. "a, The estimated yield of 1879
was 100000, but the actual yield
proved to he 100000. Our infor>
mant says that last years crop was
never fully known, but was probably
about 100000. 1t will be noted
that the yield this year is nearly doub.
lie that of each OF the years 1879 and

Remedy for Scale.

= A correspondent OF the Riverside
Press [Cal. says:
"a remedy tor the scale has been
discovered by one of our citizens and
a patent applied for. A hole is bored
TO the heart OF the tree and quicksil-
yer run in partly filling the hole,
which is then plugged; i'll very short
time the scale all drops off, leaving
the tlee clean of the scale Two or
three parties have tried it here aud it
works to a charm. This is a very i'm
portant discovery, and if it really is
a success there is fortune in it tor
the pateDtee. The invention is claim
ed by other parties and lawsuit is
soon to come off. 1t is a matter OF
indifference to the general public who
wins the suit; the result will not al
feet the fact that quicksilver will re-
move the scale from fruit trees"
Some OF our people have tired
boiling water with success, by dash>
ing it on the trees. We fear that
the Californian method of covering
the trees to confine the steam will
result dlsastrouSly and ipjure the
trees. A jet of steam without auy
covering will kill the insects and
become cold before the heat can pen.
citrate to the inner bark. We:have no
confidence in boring the trees and
putting in sulphur or quicksilver.
Scale insects are not such serious
thing as people think after all. Only
keep them down tor short time and
their natural enemies will multiply
and destroy them. Some time ago
we noticed a tree very bad with
scale and was going to apply a wash,
but observing the tree alive with
Lady bugs We left it alone aud now
there is not scale on it. Groves
that We knew two years ago serious
ly affected are now entirely free and
very little was done in the way of
washes; good cultivation and fertiliz-
irg made the trees take rapid
growth and throw them off

A Ghost story.

A short time back. the people work.
ng in the Eagle Saw Mill were alarmed
by the whistle blowing every now and
then. They examined the machinery
and found it all RICH but still the shrill
cry would continue, and it was getting
rather alarming as no cause could be
assigned for it. A watch was, however,
set, and and after sometime it was no.
ticed that a snake had climbed on the
building, near where the rope to the
whistle hung. The snake reached out
and tried to climb the rope, but his
weight opened the valve and the noise
scared him again into his hole. What
nice ghost story spoiled!
The Florida agriculturist. [volume] (DeLand, Fla.) 1878-1911, 1881-11-02

a few facts and figures exr lanatory
of the same. We usually start in
this immediate section of the country
four or five year old sour or sweet
Seeding budded with the best varie>
ties of orange, such as the Belle,
Starke's Favorite, Magnum Bonutn,
Old VIM, etc, etc. The number OF
trees per acre vary according TIC the
fancy OF the growers; the old system
was Il feet, now we set them from
2G tc so feet, the lesson derived from
the groves now bearing, shows rs
very plainly that the orange tree re-
quires ample distance to insure large
yearly crops. Cost OF caltivating
orange groves per acre annually,
from SIS to $50, Orange groves
should be thoroughly cultivated and
tertilized in order to get a good
healthy growth, in other words. 10
get good returns. Lands are selling
at from SIS to $40 per acre, in land
near this settlement" The mode
OF planning and cultivating a grove
in this neighborhood is about reduced
TO a science; those here VINO have had
the experience know what to do
from the time of planting until the
period for gathering the lipe fruit.
Our locality is Spring Garden Center,
situated five miles north of Ber es4ord
Landing OH the St. Johns River;
three miles south OF Spring Garden
Springs. We have a beautiful high
rolling pine land country from sixty
10 one hundred feet above the ST.
Johns River, lakes, &c. We have
access to large shell mound, near
swamp, say one mile from settlement,
TO get shells for making sidewalks,
and we have some pretty walks
made of this shell We use muck
and lime composted for fertilizers,
and are satisfied with results.
The natural bearing capacity OF
budded trees Is tour to five years,
and with good care and a liberal
amount OF fertilizer can he made to
bear 1000 oranges At seven years
from time the bud is inserted. A
tree that will bear 1000 oranges is
worth $3.50. Now, Can any man say
there is no money in the "orange blu.
sineSs?" A ten acre grove, ten years
ODD Is worth $4,000 which is quite
a snug fortune tor most OF us. l put
ali my calculations on basis OF ten
per cent. An orange tree that will
yield a revenue OF $40 is worth 500.
The Importance OF our State as a
desirable home for Industrious, and
even those seeking investments, is
unsurpassed by amy ether state in the

"Some sharp fellow has played a

ten dollars as prize for the best es'
say on market gardening some
months ago. Now gentleman in

riugton that if he will turn TO the
standard works OF Henderson and
Gregory he can find the essay, or a
great portion of II, and that he could
have saved his ten dollars by knows
ing something about those we'll known
authors. Old friend, are you not sold

was requisite. Does the Union object
to extracts from other works? Any
