Another wonderful discovery has been
made and that too by lady in this country.
for seven years she withsto I'd IFS sever-st
tests, but her vital organs were undermined
and dea Ii seemed imminent. For three
mont.s she coughed necessarily and could
not sleep. She bought ofus bottle of DR..
Kings New Discovery for Consumption and
was so much relieved on taking the first dose
that she slept all night and With ,ne bottle
has been miraculousv cured Her name is

all the while. 1t can boast OF q dlStln-
guished list of synonyms, being known i'll
different places under the names of Tar
diff, Hart's Late, Fleming's Late, st.
Michael, Valencia Late, Brown and Excel
sior. On May 10, 1888, shipped forty
boxes of this variety to Philip Ruhlman,
of New York They we're good counts
and bright, and not venturing to ask the
price OF an X per box, he sold them at
$3.50 to SO. In few days the buyers
came back ready for more, and ready to
pay the X, but the supply had given out.
Now, fruit growers, beg of you to go
slow and not work the Tardiff vein till it
peters out like Mandarins and Tanger-
ines Our California friends are consol-
ing thesmelves with the belief that the
Florida crop, being all in by the first OF
March, fair field and no favor opens
before them. What are they going to do if
orange that sells as much above their pet
Riverside Navel as the Riverside Navel
sells above common seeding?
SO much thunder has been expended
upon the royal family of Navels that, at
it's bare mention, like Jobs war horse,
''we smell the battle from affair."" 1t
would be malapropos here, whereall meet
amicably on middle ground, to renew
that fearful, though bloodless contest.
The old belief of the one Navel has long
since exploded, and taking the best for
starting point, let us work on that until
the acme of perfection is reached in an
orange that will astonish the world
When by skillful breeding we shall have
combined the richness, solidity, total alb
sence OF seed and delicate texture OF the
Washington Navel with the aroma and
the ruby juice Of the Blood orange the de-
sired consummation will be achieved.
Ii the proof of the pudding lies in the
eating, then, Judging from market quo
tatiOns, the Naval family stands high in
the popular estimation. This as regards
the consumer, but an often non-ppoduct-
i've habit has caused many grower to
look upon it with suspicion and disfavor,
and even to cut it down as a cumb-rer Of
the grounds. The cause of this unfruitful-
ness is still All unsettled question and a
breeder of acrimonious disputations. BY
some it is attributed to scarcity or impo-
tency of pollen, and granting this hypoth-
esis, the vivifying dust must vary in
strength at times as widely as the shorn
and the unshorn Samson, for wherever
shy bearing Navel trees have conclud-
ed to hump themselves, they have
been known, like boon companions,
to carry all they could stagger
under. Possibly the habit OF too profuse
blooming, as in the Maltese Oval, may
cause too profuse sheddlngof the young
| fruit from temporary exhaustion. We
know that to bloom at all is q heavy tax
upon the vitality of any plant. Certain it
is when the vigor of a mature Navel tree
has been sustained by liberal fertilizing
and a generous SOIL or by budding upon
the stronger growing rough lemon, there
J has been either less cause for complaint
/ or no cause at all.
Small wonder is it that over such a
superb berry as the original and only
genuine Washington Navel enthusiasm
should run mad, and the parsimonious

an indescribable intermingling of aro-
matics clear through to the wood. We
haveseveral strains, from various sources,
showing slight differences, induced per-
haps by long cultivation under diverse
conditions of soil and climate. Some are
more dwarf than others, and one of the
best for flavor, heavy bearing and long
keeping, ispossibly case ofbud variation
from the Jaffa orange, in which the san
guine feature has become fixed.
The Jaffa, as well as the Maiorca
and the Long Of Thomas river, give evi-
dence by the same peculiarities of the
young foliage, OF being remotely allied to
the Malta Blood, which would explain the
appearance, though rare indeed, of Grim
son pulp i'll the supposed example above
cited. have never observed this charac-
respects closely resembles it's ally, and is,
so to speak, like the play Of Hamlet with
Hamlet left out.
Not always does the much admired
sanguine hue appear in the race to which
it belongs 1t would seem to depend
upon certain conditions of soil, season
and treatment, and to be, to an appreci-
able extent, under the control of the skill
ful cultivator, who studies the secrets OF,
and lives in happysscommunion with nat
ure. For only to lovers does the shy dame
unbOsom herself and reveal her hidden
truths, and those who wish to enjoy her
rarest favors, must worship at her shrine
with unwavering devotion.
Often comes the querulous plaint, my
Bloods do not COLOR and "why are not
my Bloods like other mems Bloods?"
With good reason, too, for while fully
developed, richly tinted Maltese Blood
holes the same position among oranges
as the Tyrian purple among royal
dyes, one undersized and pale or rusty is
as undesirable and worthless as a knotty
Lady apple.
There is an old belief that the Blood or
ange results from grating q sweet shoot
upon the pomegranate. This is one OF
the stock humbugs, with which a certain
class Of editors delight to beguile their
readers, and is worthy place alongside
of the plan for making a sweet and sour
apple by skillfully joining two buds, or
grating top end down; and of curing all
manner of arboreaI diseases by driving
nails into the trunk OF a tree.
Another type of Bloods, but lately in
troduced, has the shape and general char
acter of the ordinary round orange, with
the addition OF tinted pulp. Some are
sharply acid, others OF exquisite spright-
liness, and when infull perfection are man
tied with lovely blush. Many of the
trees show a vigor and fruitfulness befit-
ting the parents of q race OF which, when
elaborated by selection and judicious
crossing, Florida may one day be proud.
In order to escape the mid-winter gluts
many are turning their attention to very
early or very late sorts. Among the
first, although several are pleasantly
sweet in September, yet all turn yellow
much about the same time, and to look
attractively very early shipments need
artificial coloring like lemons. Early ship
ments, however, promise small relief, for
the season always opens with a rush,

for itself. So far as may be judged from
the few specimens produced here, it ap-
pears to be of moderate size, very solid,
fine grained and heavy; entirely seedless,
and of sprightly vinous flavor. A
thorny tree of vigorous growth and a
| somewhat different style of blooming
| from it's relative, it encourages the hope
OF new departure in the umbilical fam
| lily, able to amply fulfill the promises of
spring. In this variety the apical mark
is less prominent and often blind, but
upon dissection, the orange within an
orange always appears snugly esconsed
beneath the skin. 1t is true Navel, and
only lacks the guarantee of fruitfulness
which further experience may bring, in
order to fill the bill in more ways than
one.
Comrades of the Florida Horticultu-
raj Society, it is to you that the multi
tude look for advice and instruction.
The appeals from those who are cropping
in darkness are almost pathetic in their
earnestness. The burden Of their refrain
like the ''what shall we do to be saved"
of the ancient searchers after salvation,
is "What kinds shall we plant for a liv-
ing?" Our early duty is to prepare as
far as the light of experience renders prac-
ticable an authoritative list of market
varieties of the orange, combining dura-
bility and flavor in the highest degree
The number admitted should be as fine
as possible, and only those able TO bear
the most rigorous tests. The standard
market varieties OF apples, amid the be-
Wilderin9 number catalogued, may be
counted Oh the ten fingers. A prominent
orchardist once said that if he were plant
ing thousand apple trees for profit 900
should be Baldwins and the remainder
other kinds
Orange growing rests upon a similar
basis, and may be whitfield down to an
equally fine point. Even candidates for
the more extensive amateurs list should
stand All examination as sincere as the
rules of a naval martinez, or the list will
soon become like an overloaded ship,
that in mid. ocean iscompelled to iettison
half the cargo. We often hear it said
that in Florida citrus culture is still in
it's infancy, and perhaps it is, but during
the sessions of the old State Fairs at
Jacksonville, when it was, so to speak, a
mere sucking at the breast, the judges Of
fruit were careful to apply strict pomo-
logical rules, and taking Old Vini or
Beach's Two for u departure, or, as alge-
braists would say, for the known guam
tity, deemed no sample worthy of consid-
GRAFTON that could not stand shoulder
to shoulder with it. In our exhibition
to-day we are reaping the fruit of what
they SO we'll and wisely begun, and doing
what we can in the interest of the good
work. We gladly welcome those who are
still with us, and think with regret of
others, who havelaid down life's burdens,
and passed away from mortal ken, leav-
ing behind them cheri she'd memories and
an example worthy of imitation.
