of each number have been very interesting
to me, especially the articles describing
the various fruits of Florida, and the
best methods of propagating and culti-
waiting, and preparing the same for mar

to me has not received the attention at
your hands, or the place in your discus
sions about fruit of which it is worthy,
and which am inclined to think it will ere
long demand. 1t has been found for sale

ever before, and many people within my

know, and appreciate this valuable fruit,
and, when once taste is acquired for it,
scarcely any fruit can take it's place-not
even the finest orange. The demand for
themin our markets is going to be larger
year by year. and / think in the not far off
future they will become very important
factor in our fruit markets.
Please open up and ventilate this, to
us, most interesting subject, and let us
know as much about the grape fruit as
we have been told, and know, about the
orange, lemon, and pineapple.

at the end of three months we exchanged
accounts with our groceryman and he
had the magnificent amount of So in his
favor for groceries used during that time.
Gentlemen, we lived the best and cheapest
those three months that we ever lived.
We have tried nearly all the different
methods of applying water and our ex-
perience is that the revolving sprinklers
are far the best. We have INDUCED also
in sub-irrigation, having put in two beds
fourfeet wide and fifty long. The growth on
these beds when taken care of was simply
wonderful One-half of bed was planted
to the Mikado variety of tomatoes and
from that space of 5x20 we took over
four bushels of tomatoes. One bunch of
four weighing three and three-quarter
pounds. The first cost of these beds will
always prevent their general use. We
have said so much on irrigation that we
have been expecting the President to call
us to order and remind us that vegeta-
bles was our subject.
We usually prepare our land in October
for fall garden and plant in November
such articles as are not injured by light
frost; such aspeas, cabbage ,radishes, turn
ips, parsley, carrots, beets, onions, etc
Thesecan beplanted in succession of every
three weeks and thus the garden will be
continually ''comingon." When danger OF
frost is past we then put in our crops OF
cucumbers, squash, and such vegetables
as do not appreciate a cool night.
In applying fertilizer we have received
the best results by putting the first ap-
plication in the drill, and afterward ap-
plying a quick acting fertilizer, little at
time but often on the surface and
working it in, thus keeping the plants
continually fed and in a thrifty, growing
condition. In trahsplanting such vege-
tables as tonatoes;s segg plants, etc., in
the spring, we plant below the general
level of the soil and leave the plant in a
hollow or basin. Our reason for this is
in the first place the roots being deeper
they can stand the drouth better and
when you irrigate or it rains, what water
falls within the basin goes to benefit the
plant, while if it was planted on mound
as some do, the water would roll off and
leave the roots of the plant dry and
famishing.
We have been considerably annoyed, at
about this time of year by the dying back
OF tomatoes, egg plants, Irish potatoes,
etc., without any apparent cause and SO
far we have found no remedy If any one
present knows the cause, or can give a
remedy, or tell how to avoid it, would
confer a great favor to us and the people
of Florida by giving the desired informa-
tiOn
We have not had time to prepare as
lengthy paper as we would like, but if
there is any question any one would like
to ask we will answer them to the best of
our ability.

II WOuIu seem CndU the FLORIDA HOrt1- |
cultural Society is a working body, for
we had scarcely deposited our sheckle in
the hands of the Treasurer, to become a |
member, when we were notified by the Hon. |
President that we were appointed Chair
man OF the Vegetable Committee and
were expected to make full report. |
What is meant by a ''full'' report in this
instance we are at loss to know We
felt that we were capable of acting as
chairman if the members of that commit
tee would do the work and let us deliber-
ate, but we were informed by one of the
committee that he would not be present,
and not having heard from the other, it
falls on us to make an attempta a report.
Whether what we might say comes up to
able body, we leave you to Judge, for
what we do is an endeavor to do our part
towards maintaining and encouraging
the work of the Florida horticultural
Society.
Our experience in raising vegetables in
Florida has been confined to high pine
land and mostly for home use. What
ever our experience has been we do not
put it down as a rule for the whole State
nor do we wish anyone to accept them
as a criterion to go by, unless they are
similarly located and then own Judgment
leads them to believe We aim at the truth
if we do not hit it,
The past season has not been very
profitable one as the unusual cold and
great rainfall has retarded all vegetable
growth, and therefore instead of having
well supplied table our good wife says
she found it hard to "make out"
Raising vegetables on high pine land
for profit without irrigation is a good
deal like a chance in q lottery, you may
hit it, but it is oftener that you will not
but with the means of watering when
needed and with judicious fertilizing and
proper management, there is no end to
what can be raised.
Thus as irrigation seems to be
coupled with vegetables, few remarks
on the former may not be out OF place.
Our first irrigating plant consisted of an
ordinary force pump and 100 feet OF hose.
With this we were enabled to water a
small garden for our own use. The re-
suits were so satisfactory that we com.
menced to lay plans for a much larger
plant Knowing full we'll our pocket book
had limit (the fate of all editOrs) we
started on great plan but did not go
far We erected windmill and tank
and put in the ground 400 feet of two
inch pipe, so that with our 100 feet of
hose we could water strip 600 feet long
and 225feet wide. (Wefound that great
deal of damage was done to the growing
vegetables by the hose dragging over
them, so we put 600 feet more of pipe in
the ground and now haveit SO arranged
that with twenty five foot piece Of hose
we can water the whole. The fall of that
year we planted a garden to supply our
table abundantly, not thinking of market,
as our family consisted of from eight to
nine, all of whom were perfectly able to
do justice to good meal, we of course
planted land enough, as we supposed, to
grow the amount required.

The City Council met on Tuesday night
with all the members, except Messrs. Craig

nimously rejected the petition Of Augusta

the vote adopting Paid Fire Department
The report of the Committee ON the Paid
Fire Department was then read, section by
section, and each section adopted without a
dissenting voice. One section was amended
so as to appropriate 81 800 for an electric
fire-alarm, and leave the Special Committee
to choose which system should he adopted.
This was done in view of the statement of
Mr.. Bell, that another proposition had been
made by which machinery to strike a tower
gong could be gotten without additional
cost. The Council adjourned, it's members
having done a good evenings work in as

; The Baltimore Conference of the Metho-
dist Episcopal Church South will begin its
one hundred and fifth session in Alexandria
next Wednesday. Bishop Alpheus W.
Wilson who has been on an episcopal visit

side at the conference. In territory, this
conference embraces all the Southern Meth
odist work on the Western Shore of Mary
land, the District of Columbia, a num-
ber of appointments on the Eastern Shore
and many in Virginia and West Virginia.
There are both ministerial and lay dele
gates in this conference. Upon the roll
last year there were POP ministers, but two
have died, Rev. Dr.. John S. Martin, the
secretary of the conference, who was pas
tor Of st. Paul's Church, Baltimore, and
Rev. VIM. r. Stringer. There are 80 lay
delegates, four from each presiding elder IS
district. In this conference the four-year
rule prevails, and no preacher can remain
at any one charge for longer period than
the rule prescribes, but the Bishop can
make as many changes as he desires. I'm
der this four-year rule the Methodist con-
gregation here will lose its most excellent
preacher and pastor. DR.. J. S. Gardner.
