The LeCOnte Pear.


Editor Of The Florida AgrscultamSst.
In your issue of July 9th, N. W.
asks if any one south of Jacksonville
has the LeConte Pear in fruiting this
season, and wishes to know how it is
doiug. l am glad the question is
raised, and hope some one can and
wall report favorably.
There are none fruiting in this
section OF country, | believe, but last
year l had a small tree that was
grated on the ounce root, bore few
specimens, but by some mishap the
tree got killed before the fruit ripen-
ed. Just here let me say that the
LeConte will not bear dwar6ng on
the ounce, as many other varieties
do; it just won't grow worth cent
after the first year. 1 goA discour.
aged, and last spring partly upset
mine and grated lie Conte roots on
them, just below the surface and
above the ounce - they are now
growing finely.
In absence OF facts, we can only
give opinions. 1 see no reason why
the pear will not be success in
South and East Florida. The only
possible thing in the way, apparently,
is it's habit Of fall blooming for the
second crop, and the possibility of
the fruit buds all opening and leav-
ing none for the next springs crop.
But my experience proves this not
so be the case, as my dwarf trees
bloomed very heavy in the tall-so
that I.felt little shaky about the
results Of the next springs crop. .-
but when spring came, plenty of
blooms came also.
Then 4 remembered, too, that
while in Thomas county, Ga, in De-
cember, where so many thousands of
trees are planted in orchards, and
many are fruiting most profusely,
there was a quantity of over halt
grown fruit on the trees and parties
tell me that the fall blooming does
not prevent full crop the following
spring.
AS Tar south as this, and especially
in warm winters, the fall crop may
ripen and be valuable.
Yes, friend Codrlngton, some OF
us in Alachua county have caught the
pear fever, and thousands Of trees
are being planted with big hopes of
success. We are almost like many of
the South Georgia fruit growers, as
crazy on the LeConte question as
some of the St, Johns good people
are on the orange subject; and if we
make more money out OF the
pear than they do out of the renown>
ed golden fruit, it will not surprise
some of us. a -
A word as to quality. Last season
we received three boxes Of fruit from
friends in South Georgia. With the
first box came instructions not to
sample the fruit until it colored up
and became mellow. We reluctant
ly obeyed, and after five or six days
we, and all our neighbors, tested
them, to our entire satisfaction; all
united in the decision that they were
good enough. The last box, near
the close of the season, were ripe
when they came, and, ii possible, bet.
ter than the others, that were not so
ripe when gathered. If not quite
equal to the famous Seckle, Bartlett,
ETC., we used to indulge in so freely
North, they are good enough Tor us
crackers.
AS to the japanese persimmon,
I have no experience in fruiting my
blooms shed from my young trees

The Peen-tO Peach.

Editor Of The Florida Agricutt11'iSt
l observe In your issue of July Is,
an article taken from the OcoL0 Ban
aeer, relating to peach culture in this
State, and | heartily concur in the
writer's statements as 10 the value of

write iV and Honey peaches, adding

rice, besides several home seedlings
that have done extremely well in
this State and are catalogued by
some of our nurseries In the article
referred to, the writer states that he
does not know where Peen>to or
Honey trees can be had outside of
the nurseryIof Lipsey and Christie.
1t is with regard to. this statement
that /, who have established at Lees
burg, Sumter county, Horticultural
Agency which covers every tree and
plant, ornamental or useful, that
grows in Florida, must take excep-
tion. l hold the agency of the nur
sery above mentioned, Lipsey and
Christie, tand can speak highly of
their stock,) also those of Bidwell
Beach, and p. J. Berckman's, OF
Georgia, and each and every one OF
these nurseries have in stock Peen-to
and Honey peaches, besides others
suitable to this State.
l have this season fruited fine
peaches from one and two year buds
OF Peen>to, Honey and Early Louise,
from the Georgia nursery, last
named above, as you, Mr.. Editor,
can bear witness In person.
And right here, in my capacity as
Horticultural Agent, few words as
to the manner of ordering and selects
ing trees may not be amiss.
1 have often heard persons say, on
looking over catalogue of orange,
lemon, peach, or other plants, "Well,
here are lots of names and varieties.
but how am l to tell which to order?
How can tell which kinds will suit
my soil?"
And to this 1 reply:
First decide on the kind OF trees
you want, orange, lemon, plum,
peach, almond, apple, or whatever it
may be; then write them down-the
kind, not the varieties, it you are in
doubt as TO the latter, place opposite
them the Sum you wish to invest in
each. Then mention if your soil is
sandy, and depth of subsoil, if the
former, and leave the rest to the nur.
seryman to whom your order goes.
His experience will teach him the va.
rieties that will do best for you, and
his policy is to send you those only,
his reputation being concerned in
their after well.being.

would have right to remove it.
IfMr. Summerwel will turn to page 104
of the revised ordinances he will find, in
section SO, the very law that he claimed did
not exist. After specifying the manner OF
planting shade trees and imposing fine
for planting them otherwise, 1t says: "And
any person who shall cut, injure or otherwise
lnjure or destroy any shade or ornamental
tree, OTHER THAN HIS OR HER OWN, shall
be subject to fine of not less than FIVE dol
lars nor more than fifty dollars for each
and every offence" Thus it will be seen
that there is not only an ordinance protect
ing shade trees, but one, also, which pro-
tects them against all persons, except
the owners, without any regard
to the position of the tree. Further, Mr..
Summerwcl's plea that he or anyone else
would be justified in removing the tree on
the ground that it is a nuisance does not
hold good; because there is a mode Of re-
moving nuisances, provided by the ordi-
nances, that is entirely different from this.
No one has any right to remove
the property of another on the
ground that it is a nuisance
until the same has been declared nuisance
by the proper authority. If Mr.. Summer
well or anyone else had right, without
due process Of law, to remove or deface
tree that was not planted in strict accord
ance with the ordinances, then Mr.. Sum.
merwell or anyone else would also have
right 10 remove or destroy pile of lumber,
or team. or any other property belonging
to any one else that might be maintained
in manner, not in strict accordance with
the ordinances of the city. Mr. Summer
we'll and others will see,
at a glance, that this mode
of reasoning, if carried to its legitimate
results, leads to lludicrous and reckless
persecution, and that is just what law, in
part, aims to prevent.

Marks Of Character.

The careful observer of individuals
sees character, not in the contour of the
head alone, or In the lines and express
sions of the face, but in every movement
of the body, in its every attitude, whether
it is in motion or at rest. The manner
in which the hand grasps a tool or
makes a gesture is a revelation of the
soul. The gait shows what manner of
person each maj is; the shape and ex-
preston of the hand and the foot are as
indicative of individuality to those who
can interpret the signs as the lines of the
head and face. In fact, summing up the
entire character, these must always be
taken into account. The head and face
show what a man ought to be, or what
he might be; and these taken with the
indications furnished by other members
of the body, show what he is infallibly.

scedCorn.

THE importance Of good seed is very
generally acknowledged, If not acted
upon by most farmers. The small
quantity of seed required for a crop OF
com should induce more attention to the
situation by the planter himself, or OBJ
tlinment from some reliable source OF
seed Of the most approved kinds. A para
graph which we find in an exchange as
to the effects of an experiment with Dent
corn, shows, if the writer is correct, the
great difference in the yield of two lots
used for seed. The corn was obtained
from two parties in different parts of
Michigan. In one case the corn had
been grown ten years or more on the
same farm. In both cases the corn was
much alike. The two lots of corn were
planted in alternate rows in a plot by
itself. The tops of enc set of rows were
all cut of, thus securing a perfect cross
on those stalks. Seed from this cross
wa saved and planted to compare with
corn not so crossed. The yield from the
crossed seed exceeded the yield of that
not crossed in the proportion of 1873 to
100.
In a recent address on the subject of
corn, Prof. Beal remarked that the top
most ear was best for seed; of two fields,
one planted with seed taken at random,
and the other selected in the field, the
latter yielded as much again as the
former, Manure and cultivation may be
thrown away on poor seed. The best
time to cultivate corn is before planting.
A shallow cultivation was recommended.
The professor makes an assertion, how
ever, which it will be difficult to accept.
He says; ''Twenty-three ears of corr can
be produced from one kernel; by proper
cultivation and the use of the best seed,
as high as twenty-five ears"
