FIGS.


In the discussion brought out by these
papers, Mr.. Robie reported having sent
to Benson for the Smyrna fig, but failed
to get any as they we're failing.
Mr.. Jewett reported having lost several
trees by foot rot.
Mr.. Taylor reported having the true
Smyrna fig, and that it was weak
grower
In reply to Mr. Browns inquiry as to
what age the White Adriatic commenced
to bear, Mr.. Taber quoted Mr.. Bielby as
saying they bore well, and Mr. Price also
reported that small trees bore well. Mr..
Wright said that neighbor had gath
cred forty quarts from tree two years
old.
Mr.. Albright reported great success in
raising and picking figs, and recon-
mended that cuttings be planted where
the tree was expected to grow.
The subject of the Kaki pronounced
cack-y) or Japan persimmon was next
taken up. Mr.. R. j. Wright, of Tanger
inc, chairman of the Committee on Kaki,
said he had compiled from eleven author
tiles (American) the descriptions of the
following varieties; Hiyakome, Kuro-
kume, Yemon, Hachiya, Zinzi, Tane-Nas-
hi. He showed that there was a great
difference in the description of the same
sort by the different authors, and as geat
difference in nomenclature. Heurged the
Importance of more systematic method
of description. suggested thatif the
curate des ;riptlon, it would have been
easier to determine what kind they re-
ferred to and urged that thenomenclature
of this fruit, which he believed in the near
future destined to rank next to the best
of all fruits-the Florida orange,-be res
cned from confusion by giving English
names to the varieties we grow in this
country
Mr.. Mott found it impossible to follow
the names of the Kaki, and SO has given
the varieties names of his own. Many of
the varieties imported he had found un-
suited to this section of the State.
Mr.. Wright has several hundred Kaki
trees. He grated at the collars on native
stocks; thought gratis less likely to get
broken out than buds, an opinion iii
which Mr.. Tisen concurred. He cuts the
lateral roots off in May or June, and tinds
they can after this treatment be safely
transplanted the following winter.
Mr., Adams thought the ebestsuccess was

ents injurious to the very crops for which
they were bought. No doubt there are
good honest fertilizer companies which
send out good straight goods, but the
goods frequently pass through the hands
of too many middle men, with tempta-
tions for adulteration, before reaching
the consumer.
At our meeting at Ocala last year
mentioned, as | supposed, our need OF q
State Chemist, but there seemed to have
been some objection raised, so the ques-
ton was not pushed. Since that time
have talked with agents of reputable
fertilizer companies, and they all, without
dissenting voice, were in favor of having
their goods analyzed by our State au-
thorities, and are willing to make guar
antee sales from such analysis.
| They said the small amount paid by
them for such analysis would more than
be made up, as an advertisements which
the analysis would give, coming from the
recognized authority of the State.
Our Marion county representatives to
Legislature are in full accord with our
county horticulturists on this subject and
will support the best bill looking to put
ting us abreast with the most advanced
States of the Union in this particular di-
rection. AS most of you probably know
there are several bills now before our Leg
islature for creating the office of State
chemist, etc, and one of our representa-
tives, Hon. A. P. Baskin, has justwritten
me that the several bills have been given
to a special committee of both houses
from which to create new bill to cover
the whole ground, in the best shape for
all concerned.
If our suggestions meet with the appro-
baton of this Society | would suggest
that we stiffen the backs of our Legisla-
tors little with some resolutions bear
ing upon the subject. Respectfully,
E. L. CARNEY

Thursday morning.
THURsDAY-MORNING SESSION
| The report of the Committee on Citrus
Fruits was called for. This committee
consisted of Messrs r. w. Pierce, of
Indian Springs Oake Region); Wm. F.

MR.. PIERCE's REPORT ON CITRUS FRUITS.
Gentlemen ofthe Florida Horticultural Society:
In attempting to address you to-day
can but feel my inability to deal with
this one great, leading industry of agreat
State in d manner that it deserves; but
having this duty assigned me, will try
and deal with it to the best of my ability.

come before it, when the moneyed success
of it's members and the interest of the hor-
ticulturists at large in the State areto be
considered We as class know SO little
about fertilizers and their effects that in
reality it amounts to nothing.
Practical experiments are now recon-
nIended by the most advanced thinkers
on the subject as the only sure way of
finding out what we want to know. But
in doing this there are so many condi-
tions to be considered, such as various
classes of SOIL heat, cold, drouth, rain,
pure fertilizers, ETC., that it is hard to
draw definite conclusions unless a series
of years has been given to such work. We
as members os this society are here, as /
understand our objects, mostly for the
purpose OF deriving information which
will result in our financial benefit from
other members @f the society, who have
experimentation different branches of hor,
ticulture and know certain things that we
do not and for combining our strength
in working for certain ends that are likely
to benefit us in the future Human life is
too short for us to spread ourselves over
and make a success of too many subjects.
SO it behooves us to get the benefit of
others experience in as scOndensed forms as
possible and turn such experience to our
use without having years of study and
experiments ourselves to get at each de-
sired result. Now to make matters short
and to condense this article and bring
out the thought of the Society upon the
fertilizer question suggest that we need
our present Agricultural College and Sta
tion and any other stations that may be
established put in running order just as
soon as possible by our State govern
ment and the stations located on the va
rious soils of Florida Let them give us
at least semi-annual reports in full OF all
experiments made with manures and fer
tilizers, particularly the latter, for most
of us have to rely on the latter to make
our business a success.
Again, we need the assistance of our
State in protecting us against the very
palpable frauds that most of us have to
bear every year in purchasing our COM
mercial fertilizers. We need State
Chemist and inspector to examine all fer
tilizer that come into the State, SO that
we may at least know what we are buy
ing and can compare prices of ingredients
OF manipulated fertilizers to unmixed
chemicals to be bought in open markets
and;see where the most money could be
saved-in the purchase of the purest and
best articles, which would be a source oi
economy to the big majority Of the horti.
culturists of the State.
There are fertilizers sold to our people
not only of very little money value, but
which are frequently composed of ingredi

to be had in grating where the scions
were inserted at the collar. They should
be inserted in January or February
Where the stocks are too large to split
the incision can be made by saving down
into the crown and the scion cut to fit
and driven in with a hammer.
In compliance with the request of sew
eral members he stated that the fruit
should be gathered as soon as they begin
to turn. He had been more successful in
getting them through to market in good
order than any other fruit. Shippers
should insist that their factors do not of
fer them to consumers until fully ripe,
and when ripe the fruit should be soft.
He found prices low in new markets, but
better where consumers were acquainted
with the fruit; on the whole he got more
money out of Kaki than other fruits. He
thought the casting of fruit complained
Of by many due largely to variety; some
held their fruit while others refused to
bear. He suggested from twelvetO fifteen
feet apart for the trees, but did not know
how large owlong lived they would be.
Mr.. Albright thought dropping could
be controlled to some extent by cultiva-
ton.
Mr.. Pierce had tried culture and no cult
ure, but could see no difference as to the
shedding of the fruit.
A general opinion was expressed that
trees on imported roots were invariably
failure, and there being no dissenting
opinion it was ordered that this be en-
bodied in a formal resolution.
Mr.. Mott said seedlings from the nur-
sery had more fibrous roots than wild
roots.
Mr. Else put the seed down in dry sand
and planted in winter after soaking two
weeks, firming we'll
Mr.. Mann asked why it SO often hap
pened that after transplanting the bud
died and the roots grew. Major Rocks
thought late planting had much to do
with it; trees should be set in January
and February.
A communication was read at this juno
ture from Mr.. d. Redmond, expressing
regret that his business would hereafter
prevent him from participating i'll the
meetings of the Society. He was unani-
mously elected an honorary member.
The report of the Committee on Fertili-
zers came next in order, as follows:
REPORT OF COMMITTEE ON FERTILIZERS.
Mr.. President and Gentlemen the Florida Hor
ticuItural Society:
In the fertilizer question we have a field
of inexhaustible research, a field open to
themostvisionary or theoretical scientist
as well as the most practical and muscu
lar horticulturist living.

vestigate it is second to none that car
