The Florida agriculturist., 1889-05-15


Foster, one of the large growers, had said
that he would agree to take Is cents per
box for his fruit on the trees, which he be-
lieved would be more than the whole crop
averaged through the season. Besides
they could make better terms with trans
portation companies and could get fruit
put through on schedule time, thus MAX
ing the time between the grove and the
Western markets from four to five days
A man could be placed in each district and
could notify the shippers and have from
one to ten cars sent just where wanted,
thus doing away with commission men,
gluts, etc, and, instead. giving an equal
distribution and selling direct to consum-
ers Atasmall expense ofnot over 25cents
per box the company could properly
handle. grade and pack the fruit.
On the subject of boxes he thought that
some other plan ought to be adopted by
which this $640, 900 which at presentwas
total loss could be reduced. If crates
could be made that could be returned,
'sknocked down" and at small expense, it
would do away with over one-half. He
suggested that instead Of the present
plan some other package could be adopt
ed, such as would hold one, two or five
dozen oranges, so as to make neat
package for the buyers, which he believed
would stimulate the purchase and con-
sumption of our fruit.
Mr.Neeld followed, and said he despised
trusts and combinations of capital. as it
vast them amOnev-making affair, and as
soon as the trust got the ropes all in
their hands thcy would take advantage
of it to the detriment of the orange
grower Preferred that the orange grow
ers form the trust and handle their own
fruit and get the profit, or better stick to
the Florida Fruit Exchange, although he
was not in favor of it's present manage
ment.
Lyman Phelps: Preferred to do one
thing Could raise oranges successfully,
but found it cost more to sell them than
the extra profits over commission men
would warrant He believed in cOnfning
shipments to one or two parties and stick
to them and build up reputation on
quality of goods. He said he had the
stencils of over 200 commission men,
but did not have the oranges to scatter.
Had been using the small packages re-
ferred to by Mr.. Gore with success, put
ting the econtents of one box into four small
ones and strapping all together. This
sold for not less than $1.25 per small
box, making an aggregate of Sc per
whole box.
Mr.. Williams then asked for Mr. Phelps
freight rates.
Mr. Phelps gave them as follows: To
New York, 50 cents; Boston, 63; Chica-
go, IA cents.
Mr. Williams said he was in favor of CO.
operation in shipping. He thought the
railroads were killing the goose that laid
the golden egg by charging high rates OF
freight, and where a year ago ten acres OF
vegetables were planted not one was
grown now owing to the high rate OF
freight.
Mr.. Phelps replied that there was al
ways two sides of any question; the rail-

.E ff
EARLY VIoToR.-Slow grower, very pro-
ductive and needs thinning out of the
lunches; healthy.
ef EUMELAN.-Rather slow growers and
irregular bearer; quality excellent; liable
to rot in Leon A most desirable grape
where rot and mildew do not prevail.
ESSEX Rogers No 41)-Does finely
intake; not tested in Leon.
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS well in Marion
and Lake; prolific and healthy; not well
tested in Leon.
HERBERT. .(--RogersN No Al Considered
one of the best grapes in Marion and
Lake counties; healthy and producing
fine clusters.
IvEs.-Reported as doing exceedingly
well in all counties; strong grower, pro-
life bearer, perfectly healthy: quality
much better in Florida than in the North.
LENoR.-Strong grower but subject to
Anthracnose in Leon; healthy farther
south; good grating stock.
MERRMAc.-( Rogers 19.)-As most of
Rogers Hybrids, does well in South Flor
ida. In Leon county it is a good grower
but irregular bearer.
MoNTEFIoRE-A wine grape Vine
moderately strong and prolific healthy
SO far in Leon county. Makes very
dark wine; not tested farther south.
MooRE's EARLY-Poor growerin Lake.
moderate grower and bearer in Leon.
NEosHo.-A wine grape of little merit,
very late and not desirable; healthy.
NoRToN's VIRGINIA. = Standard wine
grape; healthy and productive wherever
tested and properly pruned; one of the
best if not the best for Florida
OPoRTo. Has nothing to do with the
grapes of Oporto (PortugaD; pure
American grape making very heavily
colored wine; moderately productive in
+ Levy.
TELEGRAPH-In Leon it shows itself
very strong grower for two or three years
and then commences to decline early and
prolific, but little affected by mildew.
WILDER-One of the finest of Rogers
Hybrids, and that which succeeds on a
wider range in this State; produces ad-
mirably compact clusters in Marion and
Lake counties; smaller and more strag-
Cling in Leon.
WoRDEN. proved in Leon county
a weaker grower and no improvement on
Concord
FOREIGN GRAPES.
All attempts to raise foreign grapes in
our northern counties have proved fail
ure. They do not succumb to Phylloxera
but to climate influences, which is proved
by the fact that when grated on resistant
stock including our most robust varie-
ties, they even die sometimes sooner than
when grown on their own roots. The
most northern points where foreign
grapes are reported as doing well is on
the south shore of Lake Santa Fe, al
though they do not succeed in many other
sections of Alachua county, which is ac-
counted for by the protection afforded by
this large sheet ofwater. There, on Baron
Won Luttichau's place, the following
varieties are raised with different degrees
of success: Chasselas Bulhery Blanc,
Chasselas Violet, Chasselas Rose, Chas
selas Royal Red, Chasselas Jalabert
ChasselaS Vibert. ChaSSelas De FOOtain-
The Florida agriculturist., 1889-05-15

Suffer from AnthracnOSe. Most all these
vines are grated on Estivalis or Taylor
roots.
Farther south on Mr.. G. H. Norton's
place in Eustis. the list European doing
well is about the same, with a few varie-
ties added and, embraces: Verdel, Chas-
selas De Fontainebleau, Chasselas Jala-
bert, Austrian Muscat, Black Muscat,
Primavis Muscat and Muscatel, which
have been found without fault, being
good bearers and healthy growers. Mus
cat Frontignan grows well, but is little
affected by Anthracnose.
MUsCAT HAMBURG.-Great bearer but
very slow grower (should be grated on
4Estivalis).
BLACK HAMBURG, MISSION ROSE OF PERU
AND WHITE ToKAY.-Ale fine growers and
promise to be fruitful but they are
somewhat affected by Anthracnose.
SULTANA.-Is growing well, but has not
fruited as yet, although in it's third
growth
MUsCAT OF ALExANDRIA.-Vines grow
unevenly, some having made fine growths
while others refuse to grow without any
apparent cause.
FLAME ToKAY, CoRNICHoN AND EMPER-
oR.-Are entirely worthless.
In the whole in localities where foreign
grapes are supposed to do well, we would
advise the planting of the different sorts
of Chasselas, especially the earliest ones;
Verdel and White Tokay, Black Hamburg,
Muscat of Alexandria and Muscat From
tignan should be tried by all, as they are
superior grapes. Semilion, white grape
of fine quality, which is the only one doing
tolerably well in North Florida, will GER
tainly thrive wherever the Chasselas
succeeds. E. DUBOIS, Chairman.
Mr.. Haines, of Orlando, gave his expe-
rience and answered numerous questions.
Vines in the Oldest vineyards were still
vigorous. They failed at first because the
vines were not properly set; considered
New York the best market for white
grapes, Boston for red grapes and Phila-
delphia for black grapes. Theirfrst mis-
take was caused from trying to follow the
Northern method of planting In this
soil a hole should be dug and partially
filed with surface soil mixed with little
bone meal, and the vines set with their
lower roots eight inches under ground,
top eyes one inch above the surface. Del
awares grown on native stocks grew fair
ly well and bore abundantly. Vines on
pine land, though slow in maturing,
would be lasting, he thought.
Mr.. Wright said he had grown hundreds
of thousands of vines of the Niagara ;had
yet to see variety that behaved itself so
magnifcently Had sent thousands to
Florida the past winter which had been
planted on pine land. He looked to
grapes to bring immense wealth into the
State in the future, but thought that it
would take long time to overdo it,
There is no competition in the market, and
there is demand for good article.
When Mr.. Haines came here he did not
find single vine that was given proper
treatment. The time to prune a
grape vine is in starting; the crit
ical time with the vine is the first sixteen
months. The grape must have annual
