syrup or sugar if you have not already
done so.
Sow rye and oats.
Bank sweet potatoes, putting the small
ones by themselves for pigs food.
Prune grape-vines, and put out the
cuttings.
Rose bushes should be dug around

severely, and if well fertilized will do
all the better.
Plant out peach and other northern
fruit trees, and Japan plums Qoquats)

Notes from Tampa Bay.

Editor Florida 4griculturist:
AS it must be some time since | wrote
you from here, there may be some one
anxious to hear from us. Surely | have
very little to say. We have had no rain
worth speaking of for many weeks,
though it tried hard to rain on Sunday,
the 9th inst. heavy drizzle all day and
part of the night. This won't do. The
''season we used to have" must come
back or we must have flowing wells.
Irrigation, all admit, is absolutely neces-
sary, but we can't all get water from a
lake or pond. How would large wells
over the garden grounds do? asks one
man. Better than nothing, perhaps.
think | shall have to try this simple
and inexpensive plan. Vegetables
garden we must have at any cost, and it
can hardly cost too much. Like knowl-
edge, vegetables are worth what they
cost; in this undertaking we may get
both--the knowledge we are sure to get.
Shame on us, you all may say, for we
are doing nothing by way of advertising
the lands of the Spectators who are in
possession of the country. Fact is, for
myself, | am free to admit that there is
very little land that l can recommend,
that one can buy for any price. Why
should we trouble ourselves to induce
a rush of people here when they can t
get lands that will do the big things we
told them of, and place them in the Jaws
of the spectators who may be repre-
scented by internal rascals. No, we pre-
fer to let nature take it's slow and easy
course Let things do themselves. No
more hurrahing for me; I don't blow
this horn for the fun of it.
Respectfully yours,
WM. =. NEELD.

THE FLORIDA AaR1CULTUR1sT.

Century Plant as it is called here, can
be easily propagated by running spade
around the plant to sever the roots,
which send out suckers around the
mother plant; the large roots themselves
will grow il taken up and replanted.
Hedges can be made from the Haw and
Wild Plum, but they require care, and
nuisance, spreading all over the land.
The Bamboo from which fishing rods
are made, will make very pretty fence,
and require little trouble. It grows
readily on high pine land-we have it
on our place thriving luxuriantly lit
also delights in moist land. The larger
varieties of the Bamboo will only thrive
near moisture in this State. If from all
these plants people that want hedges
cannot suit themselves, they can find
out much by experimenting. = e - :

Indian River Correspondent.
: FLORIDA Aqficulturist:

] Editor Florida Agficulturist: n
Some years ago, a sensational cores
| pendent of the Near York Sun, devoted a
long letter to effects of a cyclone on In
| dian River, +, 1t was we'll written and
very pretty reading, which is about all
that could be said in its favor. The ed
itor, however, took it,as astext, to give
| prospective settlers inFlorida some good
advice, by telling them if they would
come to Florida, to avoid the Indian
River section, as there terrible cyclones
were of yearly occurrence, when they
would completely destroy .'towns, plan
| tations, meadows, lin fact everything
that had been done toward building up
a home. Well, in our eleven year. s
residence here, we have experienced
three cyclones; the last in 1880, and
known along the eastern coast us the
Vera Cruz gale. Since then four seasons
have passed by without cyclone, so we
conclude the San does not shine for all.
We have in truth been very fortunate in
this respect. AS none were ever known
after the first of November, why, our
orange crop is safe, and a good one it is
too. From the first of June onward we
had plenty of rain, so that our trees
made an extra fine growth, while the
grass and weeds run riot everywhere.
During the last two weeks oranges
have split pretty badly, but the worst is
over now. There is something very sin
gular about this splitting of oranges.
What causes it, and why is it confined to
certain trees? We have three trees in
particular, that have split their fruit
badly every year since coming into bear
ing. We judge that during the last
week one-half the oranges on them have
cracked open. Other trees in their inn
mediate vicinity do not lose an orange.
One would suppose that the same cause
that produced the effect on one tree,
would produce it on all the trees.
The oranges will range a trif1e larger
this season than last. Most of ours will
run 12S to the box, while last season
they run 146.
Our transportation facilities improve
little each year, and the cost is much
lower now than ever before. The freight
tariff from our grove to New York is now
65 cents per box, against LOS last sea-
son. No one can complain of the pres
ent figures. AS we have a reliable and
perfectly trustworthy commission mer-
chant, and as our oranges sell at good
price, we have no fault to find on that
score. But the manner in which our
fruit is handled, and the condition in
which it gets to market at times, calls
for few words of censure There is, in
fact, room for great improvement in this
particular. EX-ALABAMIAN.

Change in our Paper.

Having sold half interest in the
FLORIDA AGRIcULTURIsT to Mr.. E. O.
Painter, the paper will hereafter be pub
lished under the firm name of CoDRING-
TON & PAINTER, with G. Codrington still
as editor. Mr.. Painter may be said to
have been brought up in this Office, where
he has served for years as compositor
and foreman. Last year he married the
daughter of Hon. T. f. G. Brinly, of
Louisville, KY, and removed to that
place and entered the Job Room of the
Couier-Journal to increase his knowl-
edge of the, business. All those who
know him are alive to his steady habits
and attentiveness to business, and is re-

Cooking " Green's

Every housewife thinks she can cook
7" green's" 1t is the simplest of all
dishes, and yet, in most cases, they are
not well served, for much depends upon
the manner in which they are boiled.
The water should be soft, and table
spoonful of salt added to a large pot of
it, which should be boiling hot when the
greens are thrown in; and then it should
be kept on the boiling gallop, but u,a
coUered until they are done, which can be
told by their sinking to the bottom of the
pot; then they should be- skinned out
as quickly as possible into colander, so
that all the water will run out. Press
them with small plate, then turn upon
a platter, and add piece of butter Gun
less some bacon has been boiled with
them) and cut up fine. Serve while
smoking hot.

Hedge.

We are often receiving inquiries re-
garding the sort of hedges suited to this
climate. Some advocate the Usage Or
ang, but we have not seen any success
made by those who have tried it, and
the trees grow too large in this climate.
The Pomegranate makes very pretty
and quick growing hedge, but requires
more care than those who are settling
here are disposed to give it. In the
west Indies the Lime, Logwood and
Spanish Bayonet are mostly used, but
the Lime is too tender for most parts of
the State of Florida, and as to the
Logwood, to our knowledge il has not
yet been introduced. The Spanish Bay
onet is hardy, and will thrive in every
part Of the State. The Agave plants
will also make a good hedge; this and
the Spanish Bayonet should be planted
on ridges thrown up by the pillow, the
plants placed about three to four feet
apart, the latter plant must be cut off
when it attains a height of over four feet,
and suckers will spring out from the
trunk and roots, thus making an impen-
etrable fence. The part cut off will
grow readily If put in the ground. The
Cherokee Rose grows well, but requires
much care in the training to make a
7 pretty fence of it, and the vines have to
be supported by rails. The Agaye, OF

utmost minutiae of detail in finishing
whatever they have begun. They do
more work, and take more time to do it,
than we do, and It'll better done. Their
love for flowers about the dwelling is
genius and INDUCED in to adegree worth
emulating. A favorite flower is the
Japan primrose, the queenof primroses;
a flower that would also bloom for us
all the year round, were we at the pains
to secure it. MN. L.
