ton an illustration that has recently
come before me- In planting out por-
ton of a certain pine land grove some
sixteen trees were accidentally put very
| close together and not more than ten
feet apart. These have been set out some
six years now, and produced the past
season a much more abundant crop of
fruit than any of the surrounding trees.
All of this fruit was handsome, stable
and bright, being entirely free from rust,
while the rest of the grove had much less
fruit, and large proportion of it was
badly rusted. The branches of these six
teen trees have reached out so far as to
be interlocking, SO much so that it is i'm
possible to use the plow, and the surface
of the ground is thrown into shade.
In the cultivation of the lemon, the
course pursued is the same as in orange
culture for the first five years and until

least once each year and keep all dead or
diseased wood cut away, and the tree
should be followed out inside and kept
free from water-sprouts, the lower limbs
and those touching the ground should be
pinched back somewhat wherever they
have O. tendency to push out long
and struggling ends from the main body
of the tree.
The lemon tree ought to begin TO pro-
ducc fruit about five years from the set
ting, provided it has been well cared for,
and it will average from aquarter to half
box in that year, and should double it's
yield annually until it will produce from
six to eight boxes in the tenth to twelfth
year, and this would be safe to reckon on
as the average yield of agrove. There are
ususually two crops of fruit, the first RI
pening in July and August and thesecond
in October and November. In some years
the summer crop is the heavier and in
some the autumnal. There are besides
scattering lemons during the entire year,
but not in sufficient quantity to be ofany
great value.
In gathering and packing the fruit one
cannot be too careful, and our growers are
very apt to becareless in the grading and

The Lemon in Florida.

OF the lemon in Florida, before the Amerl-
can Pathological Society:
The culture of the lemon is yet in its in
fancy in this State, and it almost seems
presumption on my part to undertake a
subject OF which so little is known.
Until thefiner varieties of the lemon
were introduced into this State by Gen
eral III. S. Sanford some fifteen years ago;
the lemon, as then known was considered
about worthless for all commercial pur-
poses. In almost every grove in the
southern portion of this State you could
find one or more trees either of the native
wild lemon or of the Seeding trees raised
from the pips of the imported Sicilian or
italian fruit, both producing large, coarse,
thick-skinned lemons, which now and then
found their way into the Northern mar
kets, but which generally proved unsal-
able. Florida is therefore greatly in
debted to General Sanford for introduc-
ing the choicer varieties from abroad,
and evinced his faith in the lemon by
largely increasing the size of his own
grove, from which grove probably was
marketed the first really profitable crop
OF lemons OF any size ever shipped out Of
the lemon has been attracting wider at,
tentiOn yearly, and is, l feel, destined to
be in the future one of the most profita-
BILE and staple crops. In the first success
full handling of this fruit, and in drawing
attention to these finer varieties, the
lemon growers of this State are probably
more indebted to the Rev. Lyman Phelps,
of Sanford, than to any other man. Ny
own attention was first drawn by him
some seven years since to this fruit, and
at the Belair Grove of General Sanford
he showed me the results of his careful
experiments with these imported fruits,
and from that date my interest in the
lemon has grown more and more with
each succeeding year.
AS to the varieties of thelemon in Flor
ida, they are many, as with the orange.
First comes the wild native lemon, a
large and handsome tree, with vigorous
growth and straighttap root, and globu-
lar. brilliant orange-colored fruit, large
and very rough skinned, and with peel
sometimes quarter of an inch in thick
ness. It's juice is rather sweetish in taste,
and it is of no value except as a stock for
other varieties. It's origin is uncertain,
and, like the wild orange, it is found
growing in the rich low hammock lands,
but is very rarely seen even there. Then
comes the so-called Florida Sicily lemon,
a seeding tree of any chance seed that
may have reached us from abroad, and
spreading out into many types, most of
them worthless, some bearing fruit at all
times of the year, under the general name
of ever-bearing. Then come again seed
lings from these same trees, among which
now and then we find a choice variety,
producing fair fruit, thin skinned and
we'll favored. From this origin proba-
bly, come the Bijou, Lamb, August, War
ing's Seedless, French's Seeding and
others. But with the lemon, as with the
orange we must look to the dollars and
cents, and the most profitable varieties
must ever take the lead OF these I

more glObular, being nearly round, and
is not on that account so handsome a
fruit as the Villa Franco, and we all know
what appearance goes for in he sale OF
our products. / think it would besafe to
say that tWo-thirds of the lemon groves
Of the State are composed of these two
varieties. Closely following are the Genoa
and Eureka, SO nearly resembling each
other that they seem almost Identical,
the former imported by General Sanford,
and the latter reaching us from Califor-
MIA, where it is a favorite kind. Then
come the Sicily and the Lisbon, both good
varieties, but more susceptible to the
cold. We have besides the Sicily Ever
bearing, the Bergamot and the Varie-
gated, and more recently introduced the
Malta, the Neapolitan, the Tuberculator
and others These all are either of no
value commercially, or else are unsafe to
plant largely of until our experience with
them is wider than at present.
AS to the location of lemon grove,
do not, generally speaking, consider it
safe to plant grove in any portion of
North Florida, but it is difficult to say
just how far south it is necessary to go,
for know of many fine trees growing
much further north than l should care to
plant out my own but no matter whore
you put your grove, the more protection
of water and heavy timber to the north
and west of you the better, and in choos-
ing a spot for a grove should avoid as
far as possible the neighborhood of both
bays and scrubs, for the cold is apt to be
much more severe at such points. At
this time, the largest and most profitable
lemon groves in the State are perhaps
located in the Lake Weirreg1on of Marion
county, and the eApopka section of Orange
county, not forgetting the Belair grove
near Sanford. Many trees during the
past two years have been set out in the
extreme southern portion of the State
and on the CaloOsahatchee River.
The lemon should be carefully budded
and quite low to the ground on strong
and healthy stocks. Until the year 1877
many lemon and orange trees were bud
ded on Sicily lemons, and these were gen
orally killed to the ground during the
severe cold of that winter; others were
budded on the wild Florida lemon, and
part of these passed through this season
uninjured, while some were killed; other
groves still were put on sweet and sour
orange stocks, and were injured very
much less, and in favored localities were
hurt no more than orange trees of the
same size. l should therefore certainly
advise using the orange, either sweet or
sour, as a stock. / have large trees
budded on the stocks and can see no ma
terial difference, though | generally favor
the sour stock as being perhaps more
hardy, less liable to disease and better
suited for growing on low lands, though
] think the sweet will be preferable for
very high and sandy soils.
For the successful growth of the lemon
prefer lands not too high and dry, as
this fruit requires more moisture than
the orange, and it is noticeablefact that
the rust mite seems to attack fruit much
worse, under ordinary cultivation, on the

DISCOVERED HIS ERROR.

First Assistant Postmaster General
GARRISON permits it to be announced that
heis not pleased with his office and that he
will resign when the leaves begin to fall.
He further says that he did not desire to
have place in the cabinet, notwithstand-
ing that he was understood to be one of the
most persistent and determined seekers for
the position now held by his immediate
superior. Why a man like GARRISON
should take a subordinate Office is not plain.
CLARKsoN was at the head of the leading
newspaper of Iowa, and being forcible
writer, he welded ten times the power and
influence that he could possibly have as as
sistant postmaster-general. 1t may be
some satisfaction to a man of his strong
partisan likes and dislikes, to remove Dem
ocri.ts and install Republicans, but after all
the qualification ought not to equal that of
leading his party in great state like Iowa.
We can imagine that Editor GARRISON has
discovered that office-holding is not so de-
sirable as it has been represented to be,
especially to the brilliant editor of
widely-read and influential newspaper.

SONS OF AMERICA.

No fault can be found with the declara-
ton of principles which the Patriotic Sons
of America gave to the press on Friday
morning. We are glad the declaration was
made, for it will reverse a somewhat pre-
valent idea that the association is pat
termed after the Know Nothing order. The
Sons of America are not making war on
foreigners; they are not opposed to immi-
grafton, nor do they subscribe literally to
the doctrine expressed in the phrase,
America for Americans" They do believe,
however, in patriotism, and their chief aim
or object is to inspire in citizens of the
United States, whether native or foreign
born, love of country, devotion to its
principles and respect for the flag. The
opposition to foreigners to which the Sons
are devoted, is expressed in one clause of
the statement: This order in national
assembly convened declares that there is
no room in a republican form of govern
ment for any organization which advocates
and practices murder and assassination,
and we believe that every intelligent citi-
zen, native or foreign born, who has read
the evidence presented to the coroner's
jury of Chicago relative to the Cronin muir
der has felt this to be true, and that their
existence is a constant menace to our gov
ernment.r
When one reads the public utterances
and of the acts of the anarchists, ninety
five out of every hundred of whom are
foreigners, he instinctively wishes there
were more Patriotic Sons of America.
When we see ignorant fellows, who have
never read the constitution of the United
States, and who know little or nothing of
our system of government, being led to the
polls and voted like automatons, there is a
yearning for an organization that will
make citizenship and patriotism mean
practically the same thing. A good many
things occur in this country, like the Hay
market affair in Chicago, and the assassi
nation of Dr. CRoNIN, which suggest that
orders of the Patriotic Sons class are es-
sential to the well-being, if not to the pre-
servation of the republic.

WlOMING'S GOVERNOR.

| The New York Times is waging earnest
and determined war against the governor
of our neighhoring territory, Wyoming
| We would be more inclined to think that
our contemporary was wrong, if Governor
WARREN would take the trouble to ex.
plain or disprove the ugly charges which
the Times persists in reiterating in regard
| to him. True, his eXcellency has made a
denial, but ought that to be considered suf-
ficient when it is so easy to establish his
Iinnocense by indisputable proof!
Francis E. WARREN was governor of
Wyoming when CLEVELAND was in
augurated, and the former was one
of the first removals by the lat
ter. The alleged ground of removal
was that the governor was land-grabber
that he had caused to be fenced vast tracts
of the public domain contrary to law, and
had waxed rich thereby. CLEVELAND re
moved him, and sent stranger to take
his place Whether or not there was any
thing in the charges against WARREN it is
certain that the governor was very
popular in the territory, and equally GER
tain that his successor was decidedly un-
popular. One of President HARRIsoN's
first acts was to summarily obounce Gov
ernor MOONLIGHT and re-instate WARREN,
since which the Times has been doing its
utmost to make the governor Cd
io1s 3 and bring the administration
into discredit by reason of his appoint
ment. Some time ago a Cheyenne CORE
spondent event for'' WARREN without
gloves, picturing him as an almost in
famous creature, and charging all manner
of corruption against him, saying among
other things that he was the tool of the
Union Pacific railway, that he was prom
inent land grabber, and that as governor
he had been guilty of manipulating terri
torial legislation in the interests of corrupt
monopolies. WARREN was prompt to deny
the charges, but the Times repeated
them with emphasis, and published
over his own signature a letter
from reputable citizen of Cheyenne, in
support of all the paper had alleged.
Governor WARREN has since said nothing
apparently concluding that he can Give
down. the accusations. Herein lies his
error of Judgment. 1t is an error which
reflects on the administration as well as
upon the governor Neither can he afford
TO let the matter rest with the simple de-
NAL of the accused. AS specific charges
have been preferred proof of the innocence
of the accused should be forthcoming;
otherwise there are those who will believe
what the. Times and its correspondents say
and think Governor WARREN does not
clear himself because he is unable to do So
The HERALD knows that Governor WAR
rem is popular in the territory, and that
good many Democrats, as well as the Re
publicans generally, desired his re-instate
ment when the administration changed. 1t
is because Of this knowledge that we sug-
gest that he cannot afford to rest under
the imputatious on his character and in
Uegrity.
