and to contain an epitome of everything
of value that has been published during

entitled, GA Year Book of Florida" con-

tropical and semi-tropical gardening and
fruit growingin Florida selected from the
agricultural journals of the Statefor each
year. In word "What to DO in Florida
and how to do it,"

in Florida interested in agriculture in any

sum, to be without it. When the first edi-

A New Peach.
Philadelphia, Pa.

The Eustis Lake Region says:
''Col. Norton placed on our table, Tues
day, some specimens of anew peach which
he has christened the Pearl, and we be-
ieve it will prove a pearl of great price.
Without hesitation we pronounce it the
finest peach we have ever seen produced
in Florida, and is entirely free from the
bitterness that is characteristic of nearly
all other varieties. These were taken
from a tree on the place Of Mrs. Selmer,
at Zellwood. The Colonel has purchased
the tree, will propagate the stock, and
will have young trees for sale another
year. We thank the Colonel for this val
liable addition to Florida fruits"

A Garden the Year Round.

According to DR.. Ravenel, the lower
South gardener looking to a supply OF
vegetables the year round will plant in
June corn, okra and toma&Sbes for success
sion He will also set out cabbage and
sweet potatoes.
The sweet potato crop will be the one
to most claim his attention. If he desires
to make good thing of it he must have
his land well prepared and made rich with
thoroughly decomposed vegetable mat
ter. The sweet potato cannot be made a
first-class success without this The vege-
table matter will make the land loose
and moist, two conditions that are abso-
lutely necessary for getting it's best out
of the sweet potato.
The Trench System, already mentioned
in these columns, has always given us the
best results with sweet potatoes. 1t is
very simple, and, all things considered,
not more expensive than the old plan.
down from the common level, fill to within
three inches of the top soil with loose soil
containing an abundance of rooted
stable manure, or, in the absence of this,
well-decomposed vegetable matter of al
most any kind, adding, when not using
the stable manure, some species Of fertili-
zer suitable for the potato then finish
filing the trenches with the common soil
of the garden. Rake the patch off level,
and set the draws or vines deeply immedi-
ately over the middle of the trenches.
In the after-culture keep the land level
it will mainly consist in hoeing occa-
sionally to keep down the weeds and
grass, and in raking the surface after
heavy rain to prevent baking.
At the North this plan is growing into
great popularity for Irish potato culture,
and many tests made in this section have
proven it to be equally as good for the
sweet potato. One of the strongest
claims set up for it is that it enables the
crop to better withstand the effects of
drouth than does the old ridging-up sys-
TEN. Then, the after-culture is easier
than on the old plan, and it will invari-
ably show a heavier yield.

aid the project by advertisements. No
money need be paid until the book is pub
lished and ready. Moreover this work
will be published in the State each year
by contract. Please give this publicity
in your paper and aid by your own ef-
forts this most meritorious enterprise.
A work on California will also be attemp-
ted if sufficient encouragement is given.

For THE FLORIDA AGRIcULTURIsT.
The Price of Money.
ocoee, Orange county. Florida.

see by your paper that there has been
introduced in the Florida Legislature a
bill to regulate the price of loans, and
that, if it is passed, no more than per
cent. can be collected. Nearly all of my
pecuniary interest is in Florida and ex-
pect soon to make it my home, and re-
gret to see an attempt to pass SO foolish
a law. You cannot regulate the price of
money by law any more than you can the
price of oranges or wheat. Demand and
supply control money as they do other
other articles. If this law is passed and
enforced, capitalists will refuse to lend
their money in the newer parts of the
State, where money is most needed, and
business and improvements will languish
for ''sinews of war;" | have seen that
tried here in Pennsylvania. Some years
ago urStatef fXed6 6 per cent. as the legal
rate, while our neighbors-New York and
New Jersey-allowed T. and some of the
Western States 10. Well, the money
flowed away from us, and men who were
compelled to borrow had to more than
make up the difference in premiums and
bonuses.
hope to see the day, and trust not
far off, when per cent, or even or Z,
will be the rule, and cheap money will i'm
prove our property. But we cannot
hasten that day by ''usury laws" have
induced some of my friends to send money
to Florida for investment, and | know
some very rich men who are looking that
way. But pass this law, and enforce it,
and you stop that current. Money lend
ers will be like Banker Nienenkamp, of
Lakeland, spoken of in the Kissimmee
Leader, who has given notice that he will
make no loans, nor any extensions of the
present ones, but that all must be paid
up on the day due or he will place
them in suit for collection.
What has been the result in otherStates
which have foolishly attempted to control
the price of money? fully believe that it
will have the opposite effect from what it's
promoters are hoping for Money will he
scarcer and dearer under such law in
stead of plentier and cheaper.

This is made of cast iron, very thin,
about two feet six inches in diameter, and
six inches deep in the center. 1t is placed
at an angle of about thirty degrees, IN a
brick fire place three feet high at the front
edge; it is well heated by a quick fire OF
light wood About two pounds OF the
leaves are spread in the pan, where they
make cracking and fzzing noise like
frying meat They are rapidly turned
with the hands so as to prevent them
from scorching. This process is called
catching" AS soon as the leaves be-
come hot, they are quickly brushed out
on "dollah," or close-worked bamboo
tray, which is held ready to receive them.
A brisk fire is constantly kept up under
the pan.
After using the pan three or four times
in this manner, it becomes foul from the
Juice of the leaves sticking to it, render
ing it necessary to scour it out.
The hot leaves are immediately given to
men standingat atable, each with tray
before him, on which the leaves are rolled.
This is done by collecting them into
ball, which is grasped by the left hand,
with the fingers close together and the
thumb extended, the hand resting on the
little finger; the right hand extended in
the same manner. but placed on top of
the ball. Both hands are employed to
roll and propel the ball, the left hand
keeping it in shape and allowing it to re-
volve, and the right had pushing it along
with as much force as possible to express
the juice from the leaves. The art lies in
giving the ball a kind of circular motion
by pushing it in curve toward the left,
a4d causing it to revolve two or three
times before the arms are extended to
their full length and then drawing it
back quickly without leaving leaf be-
hind. 1t is rolled in this manner for
about five minutes, occasionally opening
the ball gently with the fingers, lifting it
up and letting it fall, for the purpose of
separating the leaves, which are again
collected in the center of the tray by Civ
ing it circular toss or shake.
The leaves are now returned to the pan
to be ''tatched," or heated as before.
The bear hand must always be used in
the pan, to enable the operator to Judge
of the heat, or the leaves may be scorch-
ed. Again they are rolled as before, and
should they not have sufficient twist,
which may be known by d little practice,
they must be heated and rolled a third
time This being effected, they are plac-
ed in the drying basket. This is two feet
six inches in height, and two feet in di-
ameter at the top and bottom; one foot
from the top the diameter is eighteen
inches At this place rests small sieve
of bamboo on which the tea is put the
interior of the basked is lined with paper,
the better to retain the heat. The leaves
are thinly scattered on the sieve, not
more than one or two inches in depth,
and the whole placed over a charcoalfire,
which must be carefully regulated, SO as
not to allow the least smoke. The char
coal should be in small pieces and the fire
famed until the whole gets well ignited ;
stirring it occasionally and bringing the
Goals to the center, leaving the outer
edge depressed.
The Florida agriculturist., 1889-06-12

the color of the tea may improve. After
ferent sizes, first by passing through
neatly made sieves, and then carefully
picked over All the red and UNFINISHED
leaves are thrown aside as useless, or re-
tained to the end of the season, to be
worked over into inferior teas. After
this separation, it is very thinly scattered
on the sieves in the drying basket, keeping
each kind separate. The baskets must
be taken off frequently, placed on the
the large trays, and the leaves turned,
care being taken ais before that none Of
them fall into the fire. In fact the tea
should never be touched while over the
fire; the basket must always be removed
for this purpose.
AS soon as the tea becomes dry and
crisp it is tax, n out and thrown into q
large receiving basket, where it remains
until the whole quantity onhand becomes
alike dry and crisp. The fire must now
be deadened by sprinkling ashes over it
to make the heat more gentle. Large
quantities of the tea are now put into
the drying basket to the depth of eight
or ten inches, leaving a passage in the
center for the heat to ascend; the leaves
which have fallen through the sieve on
the tray, must be placed on the top of
all, and the basket put over the fire with
the greatest possible care, a tray being
laid over it to retain the heat. The
basket is lifted off from time to time,
placed on the tray, and the hands, with
the fingers apart, run down the sides to
the sieve, and the tea gently turned over,
the passage again made in the
center, and the basket replaced over the
fire. When the leaves become quite crisp,
SO as to break easily with the slightest
pressure Of the fingers, the tea is finished
and ready for packing.
1t is best to pack the tea while warm,
taking care also that the box is perfectly
dry.
A chemical examination of Chinese and
Japanese teas shows that when well
dried they still contain from to 6 per
cent. of moisture.
The evaporation of water from the leaf,
and the drying process, changes it's color
to dark brown CT black.
The aroma or flavor of the tea leaf, so
marked when we'll prepared, does not ex-
ist in the plant during life, but is the re-
suit of the iudicious application of heat,
which develops an essential oil from the
resinous matter of the leaf. Great care
is necessary in the dryingprocess toprop-
erly obtain and preserve this flavor.
It is estimated that about four pounds
Of green leaves will make one pound Of
prepared tea, and that an acre of ground
will produce four hundred and fifty
pounds OF tea
The finest teas made in China and Ja-
pan are sold in those countries at from
$5 to $14 per pound.
There is some conflict in authori lies in
regard to 'black" and 'green'' teas.
While some assert that they are different
species, with permanent characteristics,
others maintain, and, the weight of
authority is decidedly in favor of the lat
ter that the color is made by art, and
