Grapes at Chuluota.

"
SO much is being done in the way ofgrape
culture.
In this industry Mr.. Geo. ii. Wright
formerly of Sioux City, Iowa, is taking
the lead, although many OF his nelghbors
are planting grapes on smaller scale.
Mr.. Wright is a lifelong horticultul1st.
For many years he has been member OF
the American Horticultural Society and |
American Nurserymen's Society. HeWas |,
one of the organizers OF the American
Forestry Congress, and before coming TO
Florida, he was a director OF the Iowa
Horticultural Society and was a director
and president of the Iowa Agricultural
College for six years. These facts are
mentioned to show that Mr.. Wright has
something more than mere local reputa-
tion as a horticulturist. 1t was his ma
tional reputation which brought him to
the notice of President Dias, OF the MeX1-
can Republic, who in 1884 commissioned
him to 90 to Mexico to investigate tree
planting for the Mexican Government.
He came to Florida two years ago to
make a permanent home, after having
visited the State few months before
when he made some small investments at
Chuluota. When he finally decided to To-
cate here, he made ACCOMPLISHMENTS, and
began to clear up land and make eimprove-
ments on a liberal scale. After building
a residence and starting home his first
work was to plant an orange grove. tie
had been experimenting with the Niagara
White Grape in Northwest Iowa in order
to test it's adaptability to that region,
and had a stock of vines which he had
purchased from the Niagara Company.
Upon looking over Florida he became I'M
pressed with the idea that grapes were
destined to succeed here, and he felt con-
fident that the Niagara would thrive, un-
der the conditions hich he found here.
TO make an early test, before moving
down he forwarded a number OF vines OF
this famous variety to his sOn-ln-laW, MI
George A. Robinson who had already To-
Gated at Chuluota. These Mr.. Robinson
Dlant0Q. lD0 SuCC0SS WHlCH lOAAO"ON Tim
exneriment was a surprise. These first
vines were planted out two years ago last
spring. Their growth the first season
was so remarkable that ii was determined
to cultivate them for purposes OF propa
cation, regardless offruit This was done
and the vineyards ofMr. Wright, Mr.. Rob
inson and several of their neighbors, ar
the results. Mr. Robinson in who's
grounds the original vines were set nov
has a vineyard of three or four acres
His two year old vines-the first propa
gated are wonderfully vigorous and Dor
heavily last spring.
Mr.. Wright favors planting out veal
ling vines in the vineyard and in GROWN
he grades as No. 1, No. 2, and No.
rejected vines. 1t is his opinion that
No. 1, yearling is the best vine to plan
as it handles with less liability OF dama&
than an older vine. Last winter he cleare
and prepared tract of ten acres, but
ter supplying his friends and dneighbors
did not have enough of No. /, vines
cover so large an area. His first yeal
planting from the Iowa grown stock co
sisted of but thirty vines. The next ye

Information w anted.

Editor Florida AgricuIturist:
am much interested in the eguava-not
the hardy evergreen, the common guava.
Can we raise them successfully in Volusia
county on high pine land? Is there a
seedless guava? Will somebody who
knows tell us all about this race OF fruit?
What is the best method OF winter protec-
tion for them? Does it prevent fluiting
to bury them for four months, that is,
from December to April?
Will they come true to kind from seed?
1t is commonly reported that they will
not fruit at all when grown from seed.
am a disbeliever in this idea. How is it
What is the best soil? Do they need
high culture, and how far apart should
they be planted? (?
Information on th s fruit will be appre-
ciated by one who wishes to raise his own
supply. W. IL. II.

his faith in the success ofthis grape. Hels
resting a few other varieties in order to
ascertain what they will do, but he pins
his faith to the Niagara. Hewill test sew
eral varieties of wine grapes and ascertain
their adaptability to the soil and condl-
tions of this part OF the State, and ne
feels quite confident of success in this ex-
pertinent. They do we'll in North Florida
and the experiment is we'll worth a trial
here.
Mr.. Wright smiled a broad smile when
the subject of the superior vigor OF the
Northern grown vines was suggested to
him. He says that he is in the nursery
business and can furnish any desirednum-
Der of Niagara White grape vines, oielth-
er Northern or home grown. He has ar
rangements with northern growers under
which he can supply his customers with
Northern Grown Niagaras of unquestlon-
able purity of stock at eight dollars a
hundred, but for himself he would prefer
home grown vines at that price rather
than northern grown vines as a present.
This set the writer into train OF inspec-
ton IN order to ascertain if the appear
ance of the home grown vines would bear
out this preference. We looked careful
ly over four or five vineyards OF varying
sizes and conditions, on as many different
places, and we were forced to cOncede that
age for age, they we're the best vines we
have seen in theS They were strong
vigorous, and healthy in appearance
the wires were we'll covered, and his vines
are still holding their foliage, and arr
continuing to make wood. 1t hardly
seems possible that grape vine could b.
more vigorous than those we saw in tn
several gardens and vineyards, all Q
which were propagated by Mr.. Wright
Had we found this excellence in but on
vineyard we might have been led to at
tribute it to extra fertilizing or some pc
culiar situation or soil. But the sam
remarkable vigor was apparent Whereve
we found a Niagara vine, let the situatio
soil or care be what it might.
There are in the vicinity of Chuluota
now growing about fourteen or tiftee
acres OF Niagara vineyards. This acr
age will be doubled during the comm
winter and then if Mr. Wright decides
add the extra ten acres heretofore mel
t toned, the total will reach ABOUT fort
| acres by the time the planting season
over.
Mr. Wright speaks in terms ofthe hig
), est praise of Messrs. Haynes, Young
: Bailey of this place, who were pioneers
e this bushes in South Florida. He Civ
e them full credit for the foresight and fal
" which led them to go largely into an
J. tried experiment and declares that th
b are entitled to the thanks OF the peoI
e of the entire State for leading in an
dustry which promises to be OF such
calculable worth.

TEXAS BILL.

For six weeks or more, we had
wandered,
Prospecting this way and that,
For the gold fever had at last at
tackled us
Where we camped, on dead
Mans Flat"
There were Jim and the Parson
and Hardy
And the Colonel and Larripy
Bill,
The latter as brave a fellow
AS ever crossed the Hills.
Bill was the life of the party,
AS CHEEKY and bright as the day,
And the "blue" ones used to Won
der
How Bill was always so gay.
"Well, I have no home and people"
This big young giant would say,
And no one you see would miss me,
Should 1 pass in my checks to-
day.
So what is the use to grumble,
And look lean, and ugly, and old,
I'm in for a good time, partners
And for hunting the yaller gold"
So with his iight-hearted and hope
full banter
And quick and ready hands,
Bill was our chosen ruler,
AS we toiled for the "shining
sand"
One day We struck q small pocket,
And SO eager did we become
That we noticed not some smoke
wreathes,
That rose with the set of sun.
So after our evening repast "
We smoked, then sought our rest,
Without one thought of danger,
Or the smoke wreathes off in the
West.
We had been sleeping,
Perhaps three hours
And-Ah!-well,
I trust to God may never
Again hear such yell.
1t seemed as if He'll in it's fury
Had opened it's yawning mouth,
And the red fiends swarmed
around US
From north, east, west and south.
"Up, boys, to arms, we're sur
rounded"
1t was the voice of Bill in COM
mand,
And back to the diggings We hur-
ried,
And there for our lives made "a
stand.
We kept them at bay, till sunrise,
When there wasn't red in sight,
They had faded away in the noun
tains,
They had gone with the mists of
night.
"Now boys we must git and skurry,
For this is merely olind,
come back
And God, pity the one that's be-
hind.
I've got a slight scratch in my side
here,
Which may get worse you see,
And if L should drop or grow tired,
It'll be all day with me-"
So saddling our bronchos we
started,
With Bill as leader and guide,
Who reeled and swayed in his sad
die
With two rifle balls Ia his side.
Just then tall Apache
Rode out on the side of the hill
And slowly raising his rifle
Aimed straight at the heart of Bill.
"Ride for life boys, Pm done for,
But can keep them off for q while"
Ana, Am. riding straight for the red
skin,
Bill met his death with a smile.
Just then came the blast ola bugle,
And it's music clear and true,
Told us that at last we were saved,
They were coming, "The Boys in
Blue"
Soft comes the wind Ger the noun
tains,
Sad cooes the dove in the shade
Or the silvery moss-draped live oak,
Where poor BilPs grave is made.
Eva Goddard, Corsicana Tex.
Note-Bill was killed by the noted
Indian ief-Gerronimo. The in
cident referred to occurred in Mexico
In 1885.
