the other way % 5.S feet, having the
burrows truly straight and crossing
each other at light angles. Plant
your trees in the intersections oil the
burrows. skipping every alternate one,
and you will have them equal sided
diamonds, equilateral triangles. and
perfect hexagons; that is to say that
every tree will be in the exact center
of six others that are equally distant
from it and from each other; it could
be ataked off the same way with a
long line by making the proper mea>
surements. A good way to set
stakes for this form of grove is to
use triangle made OF strips OF plank
or poles, having each side the re-
quired length, which is laid on the
ground and stakes driven at the corr
ners, repeating the operation from
every side OF the last triangle, until
the whole plat is staked off. Ans
other method just like the other one,
is to use a line, rope or grape vine
of the same length you want your
trees to grow apart, stake of with it
a base line from the corner stake, de-
scribe an arc tor the next row, then
describe an arc tiom the second stake
lntersecting the first arc, suck pin
there, proceed describing arcs and
setting stakes until done. Not one
man in twenty, AFTER having his
ground staked off correctly, can plant
his trees in straight rows. We have
exhausted our vocabulary of hard
words trying TO do it, and We have
never done 1t; bat We know how. we

In the olden days it was considered
that brains did net enter into tarm~
ing operations, that anybody could
be a planter. 1t is becoming daily
more apparent that one mans brains
will not stretch over any great extent
of ground even should his money do
so, hence small farms and economy
in space is becoming the role, and to
those contemplating planting orange
trees on small area of land the ques
ton of how to set the most trees on
a given space, in given distance,
becomes important. We will endea-
yor TO show the preference OF hexag
oral forms for groves over square
forms, and give the simplest, most
practical way OF laying out the hex
agonal form. Takins thirty feet as
the proper distance 20 plant in hex
agoA, single tr,e has six others
within a distance OF thirty feet, while
in a eqnare form a single tree cin
reach only four others within raIi-
us OF thirty t'et. Assuming 2lO feet
to be the sides OF square acre, it
will contain 20 trees planted i'll thir-
ty feet squares, and tiity-six trees
planted III hexag"ns, leaving two out
side lines in each case to be cJunted
in the adjacent acrea. There is also
about 1,00V square feet o. erplu, il

the tangled thickets of wild oranges,

of the thick underbrush, and our
Florida King was then able to tower
up his princely head into the suns
light. OF course, the budding pros
cess was resorted to. The result is
said to be an immense income.
Our ride home is delightful through
the soughing pines, and we decide
(shall venture to say it?) that this
is indeed
DE LAND OBJ PROMISE.
Our King expects to ride on an
other railroad this winter. He has
been educating railroads for some
time past. But he will find that he
cannot put on too many lordly airs,
He will be obliged to bow his kingly
head little and give way to others.

also the first taste of snap beans and

have learned not to put
ALL THEIR EGGS IN ONE BASKET,
For they have compelled our King
to shake hands with King Cotton
and the truck farmer on the common
railway car, and thus, with the most
amiable relations to each other and
the world, there is no reason why
Florida, with plenty of healthful cli>
mate to the acre, cannot compete

It is sometimes urged by few
dissatisfied ones, with the most phi>

behold these thousands of finely cal
tured orange groves in all stages OF
development, that the supply will
more than equal the demand. Not
so, in our great country, when SO
many interior oranges are imported.
Every man, woman and child in the
United States wants more than tloetUe
oranges aplecel That is all they get
now. So these numberless boxes OF
seedlings that everybody is noursh-
ing at his back door, when budded
into choice varieties, will be needed

these specializing Eagiish Dukes aud
Lords shall decide to improve their
lands with choice fruits.
Our Floridisna will keep on with
their work. New groves in every
part of The State will continually be
planted. SO that our King with great
pattos will say:
"Take the fruit give you, says the bending
tree,
Nothing but burden is it all to me;
Tighten we my branches, let them toss in air,
Only leave me freedom next years load to
bear"
