The name of this variety has several
synonyms; the ones in common use are
"lady-fnger," Hart's Choice and Cuban
Red. Some confound it with the MUsA
mdculdta Zig banana), but its stalk and
mid-rib are tinged with red, while those
of the tig-banana are spotted with black.
Its fruit is also smaller, and if possible,
more aromatic than the ''fig." 1t does
exceptionally well in Orange county.
The Dakka variety (NIusA pdlustris! p
is one newly introduced, and it has not
been with us long enough yet, for us to
decide on its merits. The plants are
unusually large, putting forth a prodi-
gious number of stolons, or young plants.
1t is said to be most prolific bearer.
In summing up the names of the diff
ferent varieties and their respective char
acteristics, it would have been of inter
est to go more into detail in regard to
the history and habitat of each variety,
but the scope of this article does not
admit of til. S. Perkins, in the Bitter

The Para Grass.

Every thoughtful farmer or stock
raiser realizes the Importance of good
supply of grass and hay; yet this is a
subject which has been, and still is,
greatly neglected. The Para grass, a
native of Africa has been, via South
America and Brazil, introduced into
Florida, and bids fair to become the
grass OF grasses in this mild part of the
Peninsula. 1t is said to be unequalled
for the quantity and the quality of the
feed which it produces. DIR. Charles
Mohr, of Mobile, Alabama, reports to
the Department of Agriculture at Wash
ingron, that it has been introduced in
that country, and is extremely produc-
tive and valuable. Mr.. f. A. Hender-
son, of Fort Meyers, received few
years ago small twig from Jacksonville
through the courtesy of Mr.. Codrington,
and has thoroughly tested it's merits
upon small scale, and more recently
has engaged in planting it on larger
scale on the rich alluvial lands of the
Upper Caloosahatchee valley. While it
grows and does well on uplands it is a
dear lover of water, and several weeks Of
overflow does not injure it, as the buds
are always kept above WATERFORD Mey-
eT3 Press tll
The Florida agriculturist., 1884-12-10

and has kept his eyes open he realizes
that if he had bought but ten acres of
land, and been content with one acre OF
trees the first year and added an acre per
year thereafter, reserving the bulk of his
money for later demands and for fertil-
izers for his grove and vegetable garden,
he would have gained time and made
more speed. 1t is too late to correct his
first error, so he offers his place for sale,
reserving ten or twenty acres of unim-
proved land, sells out, gets his money,
profits by his experience but in the end
gets five or ten acre grove, becomes
independent and feels commiseration
forother new comers who make the same
mistakes and repeat his experiences.
Let every man be cautioned in time
against investing too heavily at the out
set. Do not purchase land to speculate
upon unless you know you are sharp and
intend to make fortune by your wits.
Few men can speculate successfully
under any circumstances. Any man
who is willing to work and willing to
learn can make an orange grove of one,
two or five acres. Remember that the
most profitable groves in Florida are of
limited area. A hundred trees we'll car
ed for will yield a larger gross income
and infinitely greater nett profit than a
thousand trees indifferently tended. Cal
culate how far your means and physical
powers will co. then get the counsel Of
the most careful and disinterested expert
in your vicinity as to just what it will be
safe for you to undertake. 1t will be
about one-eighth of your own estimate.
Divide this by two and confne your eff
forts to the insignificant quotient. The
awnswer will be gratifying to yourself
and the envy OF your neighbors.
