sion that we had misjudged the Yankee
lied flavor.
Now, what can be the trouble with this
guava Jelly business? Is it in the name?
You doubtlessly remember the old adage
about "giving a dog bad name" etc.
Or is the trouble due to the fact that
Northern dealers can make more money
selling the cheap conglomeration of fruit
Juice, glucose, gelatine, ETC., favored with
chemical extracts and labeled 'pure fruit
jellies''?
Another question arises in case we can
induce the North to take our Jelly, can we
hope to secure from the transportation
companies round trip rates on the neces-
sary sugars, glasses, etc. Perhaps Presi-
dent Adams can solve this question
Finally, in view of recent statements in
our agricultural press, tnat a certain
guava Jelly factory had received it's first
invoice OF fifty barrels ofielly glasses, and
as many more barrels of sugar-and
that certain other parties had recently
purchased 10000 CattIey pantsfor start
ing a jelly farm, can it be possible that
this little trust has eluded our grasp to
materialize in other more fortunate
hands-or are the aforesaid parties "wise
beyond their generation?

The first thing to have to make such

nearly as WELL For seven or eight inch

perpendicularly from the base of the

A Guava Jelly Trust.

"A OudVd Jelly 4IuSC.
About eight years ago trip to the
Manatee River country gave us an aggra-
waited case of guava fever, and being in
New York shortly afterwards we called
on Messrs. Thurber & Co.. the wholesale
grocers, to see what the prospects might
be for trade in guava Jelly
We were told they could noinduce-
ments in this line, as the demand was
very limited, and they were then receiv-
ing as much as they could handle, but
''they hoped to build up trade" etc.
Wondering at the lack OF good taste in
the Yankee palate, we quarantined that
case of guava fever forthwith, and came
back to the ''Land OF Flowers" minus an
other ''fool notion"
few years afterwards we we're fruiting
the beautiful little Cattleys, and on test
ing their capabilities in thejelly line, found
them lacking in that flavor ''to the sense
of taste what the delicious rose is in
aroma to the sense of smell, y (as practi-
cally and graphically defined by the Rev.
Lyman Phelps) and in the simplicity of our
hearts at once jumped to the conclusion
that we had at last discovered the where
withall to draw the ducats from the
trust-flled pockets of the North. Acting
on the inspiration we at once began prop
agating, planting and booming the Cat
tleys, until this season, when we deemed
our infant trust sufficiently materialized
to take it's place on the markets.
Accordingly we prepared nice samples
of red and yellow Cattley jellies, also some
of the common kind to play the part OF
a foil,~and sent all off to a trusted friend
in New York City for the purpose of ef-
fectinga corner" on the market. But,
alas, our countrymen A six page letter
from our friend, in due course of time,
consigned our infant trust to it's little
grave, and we are once more a sadder if
not wiser community, and one more ''fool
notion" has gone to join the rest.
The verdict of all to whom the iellies
were shown was that they we're excellent,
but 'there was a very small trade in
guava Jelly, and that the foreign article
suited the trade best" Now, Mr.. Edi-
tor, hang it up on the outer walls, where
the sapient American eagle cannot fail to
see it, that the infant guava interest of
Florida must be protected, and that mis-
cradle foreign product Uariffed from our
markets-if it takes Congress all next
winter to do it. The Northern brother
must be protected against himself.
Strange to say, the New York dealers
pronounced our sample ofcommong guava
jelly superior to the Cattleys, and of the
latter preferred the red to the yellow, all of
which comedies with our private view of
the matter and forces us TO the conclu-

P.S. Those giving instructions how to
put up guavas should always give direc-

silver or wooden spoon to stir, for there
is an acid in the guava that will eat the
tin, more so than in any other fruit, and
the lead mixed with the fruit would be
slow poison, though not perceptible at
first in time it would be very injurious.
