bulletin No of the Florida Experimental
Station is devoted almost entirely to the subject
of the peach in Florida. We reproduce it in it's
entirety.-ED.]
Before the war thepeople raised peaches
in abundance for home use, planting in
favored spots, such as their gardens,
horse and cow lots, and they rarely missed
a crop After the war an effort was made
to introduce the early and choice summer
varieties of other States, but failure and
loss was the result. There are few, if any,
of the most popular varieties Of other
States that will succeed in Florida. In
consequence of this failure, the opinion
very generally obtained was that peaches
would not grow here, nor was it until the
introduction of the Peento, or Pien TAU
in 1874 or 1875, that public attention
began to be directed to this fruit, and
public interest revived in favor of it's
cultivation.
THE SOIL ADAPTED TO IT'S GROWTH.
Perhaps there is no fruit We have more
generally adapted to our soil than the
peach; still it is a known fact that there
are exceptional places where it does not
thrive. While no one can determine these
localities without a trial, still it is well to
note thatland which is too thirsty, as well
as too wet, lis not suited to the peach, unless
water can be supplied in the Oneinstance,
and drainage in the other. The mere fact
of land having a clay sub-soil, or clay in
the soil, or an absence of clay near the
surface is no criterion to Judge of it's
adaptability to this fruit, or any of the
deciduOus fruits that grow in our climate.
have fully demonstrated this in my own
experience and have seen the tree thrive
and fruit in all classes of soil common to
our State. 1t is fact, beyond question,
that trees in the same orchard, of the
same kind, and, as far as the eye can
Judge, the soil in all essentials similar, re-
ceiving the same treatment, vary both
ais to growth and fruiting. While this is
rare, still the fact exists, and there is no
accounting for it, so far as know. But,
generally, throughout our entire State,
where proper attention is paid the peach,
the grower will be rewarded for his labor
and outlay, if he will abandon the idea
that it does not require either no atten-
tion or too much care, or is overfed or
not fed at all.
Whether the land be high or low, ham
mock or pine, fresh land is the best, and
always the best. Fresh hammock landis
pot only costly, but difficult to prepare

straight, should be cut off; nor should
the branches be allowed to crowd each
other. The most desirable form Oftree is
either bowl or wine-glass shape. Old trees
that have been neglected should be cut
back and made to put out new wood.
This sometimes kills the tree. but it is
better to kill and replace with another,
than to let it live and profit no one. AS
a rule, bearing trees should be pruned in
early spring, taking off about one-third
of the growth of the previous year The
judgement of intelligent growers, howev-
er, should govern them in this direction,
or sometimes more should be taken Off
Summer bearers, if not pruned in spring,
will not fully mature fruit buds for an
other season.
The fall growth should all be cut off.
This is mainly the cause of winter bloom
ing. This growth, the next year, natures
it's buds in early fall; sheds it's leaves,
and bursts into bloom after the first cold
spell. This growth is produced after the
fruit drops in summer, and has not time
to mature fully before winter.
FERTILIzING.
This should be regulated by the char
acter of the SOIL Peaches do not require
the richest land, nor will they do well on
poor land unless regularly and properly
fed. But even the richest land will soon
be exhausted by this greedy feeder, unless
it's strength is sustained by prudent fer
tilizing.
The great difficulty in the way of grow
ing this fruit in Florida lies, first, in fer
tilizing, and, second, in the supply of wa
ter in the dry seasons Water and fer
tilizing very greatly advances the matur-
ity OF fruit, and for early varieties this is
exceedingly desirable. In seasons when
we have a fine supply of water the early
fruit ripens from two to four weeks sooner
than when the spring is dry. The same
is true of late fruit when the summer is
wet. But whether dry or wet, the tree
must be fertilized. If neglected it will
take a year, or longer, after bearing
good crop to recuperate, or to send out
it's roots in fresh soil in search of food.
Any fertilizer that possesses the three
great elements ofplant food, potash, phos-
phoric acid and nitrogen, will serve the
purpose. But the question which will in
terest the inexperienced grower most is
the cost of f5rtilizing. Commercial fertil-
izers are costly, and are not in the reach
OF every grower. Ihave found compost
of the following proportions to be cheap,
and beneficial to third class pine land, and
prepared in the following way: build a
pen, and commence the compost by pIac-
ing in the bottom oft 1900 pounds of
stable or COW manure, (muck may be used,
but it is not as good as either of the other
two), 333 pounds each of 'kainit, cotton

for an orchard. 1t is also hard to work.
Pine land can more easily and cheaply be
put in order, and is easier cultivated. 1t
is better to cut the timber down and dig
the stumps, but it is not necessary. The
peach grows among the deadened timber,
and does not sustain as much injury from
falling limbs and trees as they decay, or
when the storms come and go, as one
might expect. The Providence that
paints the lily and the violet, and watches
over the sparrow, seems to care for the
poor mans orchard, in which lies, in part
at least his resources of daily life. An
orchard looks better clear of timber and
stumps, but these can be removed gradu-
ally, as time and opportunity admit. The
hammock is richer, as a rule in plant
food, but the difference in the cost ofclear-
ing and cultivating is largely in favor Of
pine land, even though more fertilzing is
necessarily every year; but hammock
land needs fertilizing also, and it is only
a question of a fewyears when the heexpense
in this line will be equal While fresh
land is always BEST still it is not neces-
sity. Old land, already devoid of trees
and stumps, with much less trouble and
expense, can be prepared for an orchard
In preparing an old field, first break up
thoroughly, then check off the distance
you wish the trees to stand; dig the holes
two feet deep by three feet square, and
prepare as stated under the head offertil-
izing, and you can plant in the hope of
good fruit. Another good plan in pre-
pairing old land is to place in the holes
hammock mold, muck, or soil from the
depressions in pine md several weeks be-
fore planting, to which may be added
pound or two of any complete fertilizer,
or five or ten pounds of compost as per

TIME TO PLANT.
of December to the middle of january. 1t
is much better to plant before than after
this time. In December the tree is dor
mant or inactive, and the early varieties,
such as the Peento type, awake about
the 1st of January, are in full bloom by
the middle of the month"; and begin to
put out leaves week or so later. When
the tree is in bloom, or in half leaf, to
transplant it is to endanger it's life or
health. When tree is set back by rea-
son of too late planting, or becomes
sickly through neglect, it is cheaper and
better to dig it up and replace it with an
other. This year on the Station, although
the season was favorable, in consequence
of late planting, which was done in Feb
ruary, lost large number of thrifty
trees, and those which lived, although
well cultivated and fertilized, did not do
so well as they would had they been
planted earlier. | feel it a duty to say,

that while there is one chance for decidu-
Gus fruits doing well planted after Janu-
ary, there are at least five against them.
The first effort a peach tree makes in
growing, after being dormant, is sending
out delicate white, silk-like roots, which,
if exposed to air, wither directly tree
planted in December has in a month
many of these little feeders, from one to
five inches long on all it's large roots.
These rootlets play an important part in
it's nOurishment, and hence, if dug up
when in bloom or in leaf (for when a tree
begins to leaf it's roots cease to grow, nor
do they begin to grow again until it is in
full leaf) suffers the loss of these roots,
and if shor> dry spell follows, their loss
is easily seen in the want of vigor, and Of
ten DEATH
THE DEPTH TO PLANT.
In dry and sandy soils, trees should be
placed deeper than in wet or stiff land.
The roots should be carefully trained in
their natural directions, and the dirt
packed around them. When the hole is
filed, if the season is dry, water should
be freely applied. If planted where irriga-
tion is used, or the land is naturally wet,
they ought not to be placed deeper than
they grew in the nursery. This is de-
termined by the earth marks above the
roots, and then allowance of an inch or
two should be made for the soil to settle.
PRUNING.
Universal experience has demonstrated
the absolute necessity of pruning early
and often. In California, where the peach
is developed as near perfection as any
where on this continent. some of themost
successful growers begin to prune when
the tree is very small. Their plan is to
plant the dormant bud, and when it is
two feet high to pinch off the top and
cause it to branch. They then rub off
the sprouts, saving five or six wood buds
within six inches of the top, and train
these to produce low head and short
body. The subject of pruning is to keep
the tree healthy and vigorous. If left
alone it 1uns to wood, bears only at the
ends, and is of little value. Headed back
every year, and limbs which grow too fast
pinched off and made to branch, the
peach lives too an old age, and bears
much fruit. The Monthly Monitor,
printed at Bronson, Levy county, Fla,
says, in it's September issue: "There are
numbers of native trees in this county
from fifteen to thirty-five years old that
bear heavy crops of the most delicious
peaches every year." Another tree is re-
ported, thirty seven years old, bearing
fifteen bushels. Cutting back forces the
lateral limbs to grow, and as the wood
made one year is that which brings the
fruit the next, the cutting back: k:must be
done. Limbs which grow down, or too

Cotton Seed VS.. Cotton Seed Meal.

The North Carolina Experimental Sta
tiOn has been experimenting in order to de-
termine the relative value of cotton seed
and cotton seed meal as fertilizer. A
recent letter contains the following:
''In one hundred pounds of cotton seed
there are, on an avarage, almost exactly
fifty pounds hulls and fifty pounds kernels.
From the fifty pounds kernels ten pounds,
on an average, of oil are extracted, leav-
ing forty pounds cake which, when
ground, form the meal. The cotton seed
loses none of it's fertilizing qualities by
being crushed to hberate the oil; in fact,
it gains thereby, as the oil is in no sense
useful as a manure, and the hulls contain
but small amount of fertilizing ingledi-
ents. The oil is composed of the chem
ical elements, carbon, hydrogen and oxy-
gen, combined together in very compli-
Gated arrangement. A different arrange
ment of these same elements would form
ordinary sugar, piece of cotton cloth,
etc. All of these elements are found in great
abundance, both above and below the
surface of the ground.
One hundred pounds of seed has 1. IA
pounds phosphoric acid 3.O3 pounds am
monia, 1.18 pounds of potash. One hun
dred pounds of meal has $50 pounds
phosphoric acid, $50 pounds ammonia,
1.60 pounds potash. We have seen that
one hundred pounds seed, then, are forty
pounds meal, run as the mills exchange
one meal for two of seed, they paying
freight both ways. Now, when the farmer
gives two tons of seed he gets one ton of

Timely Hints to Farmers and Others.

-
Save all the manure you can; waste
none of it. Make enough hay to carry
your stock through until next summer,
and then repeat the operation.
Keep your garden going and always
have in it something that you can de-
pend upon.
Raise enough sweet potatoes for your
family and few for market. At any rate
raise enough for your family.
Can your surplus vegetables for winter
use; also your suplus fruit, such as straw
berries, peaches, etc. They will be appre-
ciated next winter and save expenses.
Plant a piece of land in COW peas as
soon as the summer rains set in. If
you do not want them in your grove,
plant them elsewhere, but don't fail to
plant them Gather enough for family
use and seed. To keep bugs out of them
sprinkle them with solution of lime and
water, or, if you have the China tree,
gather the leaves and pack them in with
Cu0 p0cS. AIU0E you uCN0 bIl U1O pOctS you
want, use the vines for making hay. Do
not cut but one crop of vines, and cut
them as early as possible before they have
commenced to ''1re up" near the ground.
Allow the sprouts from the roots to grow
and turn them under in the fall. This land
will make a good melon or sweet potat
patch the next year
Later in the season, when you COM
mence to dig sweet potatoes, cut the
vines from the ridges and pile them in
windrows, or if fence is convenient, hang
them on it. When we'll cured they make
excellent hay.
In applying fertilizers to orange trees,
or any thing else, remember that if you
give the plants more than they need for
immediate use, large portion of it will
be wasted. Apply in small quantities,
and, if necessary, at frequent intervals.
