SIMON is A SUCCESS.
The Secretary of the ST. Paul
Driving Club and His Work.

DFIVIHR CItIU dHU Ills WOFk.
Secretary Simon, of the st. Paul
Driving club, is largely responsible for
the success of the trotting meeting at
Hamline which closed Saturday. No
better trOtters or PAGERS were ever seen
on the Hamline track, and their per-
formances were fully as marvellous as
in former years. AXtell did not sue
coed i'll breaking his record, but he
equaled it, so that the st. Paul Driving
club has as much to crow over as the
Minnehaha people. Secretary Simon
did most of the work, and to him is due
the bulk of the hOnOrS.

New York.
New YORK, July 13.-Clearings to-day,
$126, 945, $50: balances, st, 499,966. For
the week-Clearings, S7O2,935 ,026; bal
ances. S33, 745 ,02O. Money on call easy with
no loans; closed offered at 212 Prime mer-
dull but steady at S4.S for sixty-day bills
and 81 1874 for demand. The stock market
showed decidedly improved tone over that
of yesterday, and before the session was over
every department had scored material ad-
vances. At the opening the general list
seemed to have recovered from the scare of
yesterday, and while first prices were from
ls to ss per cent higher than last evening S
closing figures, there was very moderate
business with no pressure to sell. Some
slight gains were scored by few shares
over the opening figures in the first
few minutes, but the general run OF stocks
yielded slightly from first prices. the f1uctua-
tons however. being small and without sig
nifcance. The trusts, however, were again
made the objects of attack by means of lib
eral short sales. but the excitement of yester
day was lacking, and no large amounts
changed HANDS after the first few minutes.
Lead showed some strength at first, but later
was forced off to % against 2512 last even
ing Chicago Gas to 54I2 against 5S12 and
sugar to lOs against 1O9l2. The covering
then began and prices outside of lead were
lifted rapidly and sugar rose to l113s, lead to
25l2 and Chicago Gas to SO. The gen
eral list, which had not seemingly
been affected by the weakness in
the trusts also felt the stimulus
nd everything on the list rose,
the gains extending to about per cent, with
the grangers most prominent in the move
ment. London was a purchaser, and the
prominent dealers on the floor aided in the
advance, while the trusts seemed to be sup
ported by insiders. The market held its i'm
proved appearance until the close, which
was quiet, but strong at the best prices
reached. Railroad bonds were dull, the
sales of all issues reaching only 1913, 600,
and the dealings were confined 10 a compare
lively small number of issues. The market
showed firm tone, but the changes in quo
tations were entirely insignificant, except in
a small number of cases. Sales of bonds for
i ihe oo TesA for last week government
bonds have been dull and steady.
State bonds have been neglected.
The export of specie from the port of New
York last week amounted to 81 .909, 631, of
which 81, SOC, 635 was in gold and S31S, 996

lemon stocks, are very much longer lived.
If we bud, we get a duplicate OF what we
bud. The bud is a part OF the original,
while the Seeding is distinct individual,
which may partake largely OF the parent,
or, be entirely unlike it. We are never
certain whether we are going to have
| something as good as the original, better,
/ or very much inferior. The budded tree
| will bear very much sooner, giving pay
ing crops long before the Seeding comes
into bearing. A friend of mine who has
been favorable to Seeding trees, said to
me, 81 am going to bud my young grove,
for have decided that | shall not live
long enough to make bearing seeding
grove" He is only forty five years old.
He said 81 was looking over the Seeding
grove that planted out thirteen years
ago, and ! find that on that eight acres
of large trees there will not be fifty boxes
of fruit this year, and it has never borne
one hundred boxes"
Mr.. President, l find many that have
come to the same conclusion. Much more
might be said in favor of the budded tree
but / will not trespass on your time.
Having decided to bud. shall we plant
trees already budded, or plant trees and
bud them after they get established. Put
out budded trees every time, as you will
save much valuable time and money. |
was talking with man who is interested
in large company grove of over TWO
hundred acres, which tried the plan of
planting out and then budding, thinking
to save money by doing so. He told me
they were satisfied that they had done
wrong, as it had cost them more money,
and he was satisfied that they could have
had a. bearing grove by this time; as it
was, they had just finished budding.
This grove was planted some six years
ago.
Trees can be cared for much cheaper in
the nursery. Your grove will be much
more even, if budded trees are planted,
as many Of your trees will not take bud
at the same time, some will be broken
out in blowing, and by the wind, and
eaten by insects, however well you may
guard against it. Having decided this
matter, the next question will be, what
varieties shall we plant? There is at
present a great confusion of opinion in
this matter. There are great many
very choice varieties, all having cham
pions. Mr.. Mott will tell you you should
only plant the "Bidwell strain" of peaches
while Mr. Taber will recommend others
as being equally as good, or better, and
Mr.. DePass will say, some of his varieties
surpass all Others. The same conflict
of opinions exists, with regard to the diff
ferent varieties of the citrus fruits. 1t
would not take me long to decide in my
own mind which would prefer as far as
appearance and flavor goes. AS for me
the Navel, Jaffa, Majorca, and several
varieties of the Blood, come the nearest
to perfection, and have scored high in
the decision of the judges at most of our
Horticultural Fairs Still, am not pre-
pared to say that these varieties will be
the most profitable for general culture.
1t may be with the citrus fruits, as
with apples, pears, peaches, and other
fruits, the very choicest are not always

The Florida agriculturist., 1889-05-15


a separate report, as this would perhaps
give more general idea of the cultiva-
tion Of citrus fruits in the State, which
might possibly be more satisfactory.
s / will not give the past history of orange
culture in this State, as that is already
before us, written by men more compe-
tent. The industry has grown in the
last fffteen.years, from one of small pro-
portions to one of great magnitude, rep
resenting millions of dollars, and, not
withstanding that we havehad the largest
crop by far the past season that we ever
had, yet we have, on the whole, | believe,
received very satisfactory prices.
presenting my ideas | do not expect
everyone will agree with me, but | hope
to call out a general expression Of views,
SO all may be benefited. If my opinion
is wrong / am open toconviction.
Our State is not only large in territory,
but.great in it's possibilities. | can but
think if this one leading industry, the cul-
tivation of the citrus fruits, is Intelligent
ly and properly manipulated, that the
future of the State of Florida is to be one
of the grandest that ever the sun shone
on, in wealth, beauty and prosperity. In
looking over the countries that produce
the citrus fruits, and studying up their
locations, soil and climate, cannot but
come to the conclusion that we can claim
many advantages which they cannot.
The advantages of our climate far sur
pass many others. While some can
claim as good advantages in some re-
spects, they have many disadvantages
which we have not. We do not have to
irrigate at great expense, as they do in
many countries; nor do we have to build
walls around our groves to protect them
from the high winds, nor shelter to pro-
tect them from the cold, as is done in
some countries. We should also have the
advantages of our great home market,
raght at our own doors, an advantage
that cannot be ignored by those coun-
tries which attempt to compete with us
for the great American market, Near
ness to market is always great advan-
tage, especially for perishable products.
Thus far we have had no serious insect
pest to contend with, as some other coun-
tries have; nor disease affecting trees to
aAy great extent therefore | claim that
we have many natural advantages,
which, if we properly develop, can but
make us one of the richest States in the
Union.
Now, in order to accomplish this great
result, there seems to me to be two great
principal First, the production Of
the fruit; second, the disposing of it at
remunerative prices.
Now, as the production of the fruit is
first in order, | will proceed to give some
ideas of how to grow the citrus trees,
based on my own experience of thirteen
years.
Now, while my experience has been
quite extensive, do not claim to knowit
all. There are many things | wish to
learn. | do not think a man can have
too much knowledge of any business he
may be engaged in.
In making grove the selection of land
will be the first thing. There are many
different opinions about the kind of land
biob Ylino bo on
The Florida agriculturist., 1889-05-15

wild groves of sour trees that were stand
ing in stagnant water, and had been sc
for some time, that were looking finely
and contained good crops of fruit. The
trees, however, died out when the under
growth and large trees were cleared away
My own grove is located on high ''blacE
jack" land, probably eighty feet to wa
ter and clay nowhere less than twenty
feet from the surface, the very kind o.
land that most people would warn you
against. My nurseries are on the same
kind of land. Both grove and nurseries
have stood the drought much better than
most groves on much lower land.
have no reason to complain of my sue

had | had better land, yet might not
have done so well if had waited for the
land to make the groveinsteadO OfgOingtO
work and making it myself. am salts
isfed that could have done very much
better on the same location could have
started with my present experience.
Therefore would say, choose any lOca-
tion that suits you, or that your means
will allow. II you can get good, strong
land Of course it would be preferable, but
remember this one thing-however good
your land may be, you cannot expect to
be successful if you take something from
the land all the time and put nothing
back. Land selected and prepared, the
next thing in order will be trees; and here
let nae give you little advice. Select only
the very best trees, and the best varieties
The matter of few dollars in the price
of what trees you want amounts to
nothing.
Remember if the planting is properly
done, you are planting trees for genera
tions yet unborn, as the orange tree un-
deriavorable circumstances lives to avery
great age. ''There is an orange tree in
the convent of Santa Sabina, at Rome,
which is known to be six hundred and
eighty years old.' '"The orange groves
planted by the Moors at Cordova, in
Spain, still exist, objects of great beauty
and of much interest to Travellers ''In
the old Moorish palace of Alcazara there
is an orange tree known to be upward
of six hundred years old.'' Still another
tree OF remarkable age is found growing
under artificial conditions, called the
"Great Bourbon" and is known to be
four hundred and sixty-seven years OF
age. 1t is grown in the orangery at Yer
sailes, with it's roots in a large box, and
has trunk ten inches in diameter. 1t
was planted in 1421 by the gardener oi
the Queen of Navarro, and is said to be
still in fOurishing condition. SO you
see by this the Importance of planting
only the best, and future generations
will bless you. The next question arises

this Society, but the whole State OF Flor
ida. should extend a vote OF thanks to
Gen. H. S. SANFORD and Charles Amory
for. the introduction and dissemination
of many OF our choice varieties OF citrus
fruits. The Tahiti Lime is generally con-.
.ceded to be the best. There are several
varieties of Pomelo, or Grape Fruit
which have their champions.
1t will be proper for me to make few
remarks with regard to handling trees,
which should be done with the greatest
care so they should receive no serious
shock, which might cause the loss oftrees,
or stunting them SO they might be
long time in recovering. On receipt of
trees open package in a shady place, if
not moist, moisten well, and those that
cannot be planted out Immediately
should be "heeled in, in the following
manner First dig a narrow trench, then
place i'll row of trees, then take the dirt
from one side and press firmly on the
roots, this will open trench for the next
not at any time expose the roots to the
sun or wind, and keep well moistened.
The nextquestion will be, How far apart
shall we plant our trees? There are also
many opinions with regard to this. Sew
eral years ago the prevailing distance
was thirty feet, but at the present time
they are generally planted nearer, from
twenty-one to twenty-five feet apart, ac,
cording to quality ofsoil Thepoorer the
soil the nearer the trees are planted.
think very good way is to plant them
thirty feet apart in squares and then put
one in the center, which will be about
twenty-one feet three inches. If the early
fruiting varieties are planted it will be
long time before they will be crowded
to do any harm, and when they do the
centers can be removed and still have the
grovein good shape. Having inquired into
this matter of setting trees in the older
orange growing countries, find quite
difference, some planting twelve, fourteen,
OlSuUCOH Ct1lO uWOAUy -HNCs mum ChO OldA 65OA
portion, however, being planted less than
twenty feet apart. Some claim that an
acre of ground in full bearing will only
produce about the same number of Or
anges, whatever distance the trees are
apart Before planting your trees, all
roots should be removed and the soil
well stirred to quite depth, place the tree
in the ground so that the roots will be as
near as possible in the same relativeposi-
tion that they were in the nursery. I
would urge especial care in placing the
tree in the ground as near as possible as
it was originally. In my opinion there
are more trees planted too shallow than
too deep. A little fertilizer scattered
around the trunks will induce surface
roots very readily. On the other hand if
planted too shallow, the case is hard to
remedy, and cannot be done unless you
dig under and cut Off the tap root
and lower the whole tree, which have
in some instances done.) Press the earth
firmly and if dry tshould be watered the
tops OF all trees should be cut back to
correspond with the loss of roots. Your
grove we'll planted, much of your success
will depend upon your manner of cultiva-
tlon and the amount of care you give it.
