Florida Horticultural Society.

The annual meeting of this society will
convene at Orlando on the 1st, proximo.
A full attendance is expected and desired.
As announced by the secretary in last
weeks issue, the Florida Railway and
Navigation Company, the South Florida
and the Jacksonville, Tampa and Key
West Railways have offered a half fare
rate for members attending the associa-
tion's meeting A low rate has also been
procured at the Orlando hotels This will
reduce the expenses of the members at
tending the meeting to a minimum.
The usefulness of this organization, al
though yet in it's infancy, is not known
or appreciated by our people. The society
is composed of the best minds of the
State; of men who make horticulture
their daily study, and are consequently
in position to discuss it intelligently.
1t will pay our people to watch closely
and consider studiously the deliberations
of these men. Before the meeting at Or
lando many subjects pregnant with the
most vital interests will be discussed by
men who will know whereof they speak.
Give heed to their words, follow their ad-
vice, lay aside prejudice and be willing to
learn and your condition will be materi-
ally improved.
The Florida Horticultural Society
should number among it's members every
fruit grower in the State. Ii you are not
a member, you should lose no time in be-
coming one.

gray in the orange business, was once
standing by a river dock, awaiting the
arrival of the boat. A gentleman APP
preached him and asked concerning the
cultivation of orange groves.
81 don't know anything about it," re-
piled the veteran FI have been in the
business twenty-fv years, and am still
as ignorant as a Choctaw Indian. But if
you really want to know something about
orange culture, go to the boat when it
lands at the dock, and ask the first stran-
ger you meet. He has probably been in
the State two weeks and knows all about
it, and will be more than pleased to give
you the benefit of his knowledge"
So it will be seen that the newcomer
will have hard time if he depends upon
promiscous information. He will getcon-
fused and muddled, and probably make
a failure. The safest plan is for him to
subscribefor the FLORIDA AGRICULTUR1sT
read it closely and act upon the many
valuable suggestions he will find in it.
One issue will often bewOrth more to him
than the subscription price for whole

A Good Record.

The Steamship City Of San Antonio,
Captain Wilder Of the Mallory Line, left
Femandina on the morning of April 9TH
with about 100 passengers en- route North.
She experienced the fearful gale of the 7th
and 8th, passing through the same in
perfect safety@nd arriving in New York
about thirty-six hours late, uninjured.
The State of Texas, Captain Williams,
of the same line, passed through the
same gale coming south, and rendered ex-
cellent service to the sinking vessel Alba
tross, saving her entire crew at great
danger to Second Officer Williams and
three of the Texas crew, who volunteered
and put off in a small boat. The Texas
arrived about twelve hours late on the
9th inst. and sailed on her return trip
Thursday, the 11th, from Fernandina.
with about ninety passengers, her full
complement.
The steamer Nueces, Captain Bolger.
also OF this popular line, rescued the en-
tire crew of a vessel bound from Darien to
New York Her first officer cannot re-
ceive too much praise. He was heroic in
the extreme and came very near losing
his own life. They experienced most of

year.

For the benefit of our readers who
have date palm trees, or contemplate
getting them, we republish the follow
ing from Popular Science Monthly. AS
will be seen it is not at all safe to trust to
the seed reproducing the kind of tree de-
sired. The date palms, which form the
wealth of the Arabs of the desert, and one
of which now waves it's long bOughs in
the breeze before us, are all female; the
male or pollen bearing flowers of the date
kind always grow on a separate tree; and
as pollen is produced by them in vast
quantities, it is not necessary in palm
groves to have more than single male
stem to some forty or fifty fruit bearing
individuals. The Arabs, therefore, never
raise their palms from the seed, as they
cannot make sure of the sex of the seed
lings; they take suckers from the root of
female tree, already known to be agood
bearer of fine fruit; and these suckers not
only follow the sex of the so-called mother,
but also reproduce it's special peculiarities
of flower and seed in every respect. They
cannot fail to do so, indeed, seeing that
they are part and parcel of the original
palm, actual members of the self-same
plant; just as the various branches OF an
apple tree all bear the same kind of ap-
pies, or the boughs of currant-bush all
produce the self-same currants.
The Florida agriculturist., 1889-04-24
The Inconsistency of Orange Culture

The newcomers to Florida are in any,
thing but an enviable position, on ac-
count OF the conflicting and contradic-
tory advice given them in reference to Or
ange culture by the cold settlers" or by
men who have had experience" AS a
consequence the newcomer finally de-
cides that a theory of his own may be as
correct and proper as some of the many
that have been disclosed to him, and he
forthwith proceeds to evolve one; and one
it is safe to say entirely at variance with
the generally accepted ones. Hence the
multitudinous plans and theories of or
ange culture.
A lawsuit in the Circuit Court of Volu-
sia county recently showed this in quite
an amusing light.
A cloud of witnesses were examined as
experts. Some Of them had been in the
business for twenty years, and almost
without exception their ideas as to the
proper cultivation of orange groves diff
fered materially. Illustrating this diver
sity of opinion, one of the counsel, in his
argument before the jury said that if a
man should take young orange tree in
each hand and wait until lie found two
men who agreed as to how they should
be planted, the trees would wither and die
long before they would ever be planted
An amusing little anecdotewas related,
which went to show how readily new
corners formed opinions in reference to the
proper method Of cultivating orange
trees.

We saw here the largest Kelsey plum
trees we have seen, also the Mariana
and other varieties. He also has some
very nice grape vines now covered with
bloom, only three years old, with the
main stem two inches in diameter. Mr..
Fish is cutting off the oak bushes that
come up on his premises and budding
them to chestnuts, vhich are growing
finely. If his experiment proves a sue
cess there is nothing to prevent the turn
ing of our oak thickets into profitable
chestnut groves. A bud put in year
ago is still growing rapidly and theunion
seems to be perfect.

Commodore Norris Silk Farm.

the thousands who Visits the cOCOOnery
of Commodore A. III. Norris, Spring Gar
den, at this time of the year. At present
he has over 14O, 900 silk worms in differ
ent stages of development, from the tiny
speck of a worm as it emerges from the
''grain," to the completed cocoons, and
as one walks between the racks and notes
the worms eagerly devouring the fresh
leaves placed over them and listens to
their ''smacking of lips" he cannot help
but think that these worms are little
better than others.
The cocoonery this year is under the
management of Miss Douglass, who feels
considerably elated over the prospects
OF fine crop, as so far the worms have
been perfectly healthy, and the quality
of the cocoons above the average. Miss
Douglass has a large family to feed, but
with the assistance of tN or three little
children to gather the leaves, she keeps
their mouths we'll filed
Commodore Norris faith in silk culture
has not abated one whit, but increased,
and any one who will visit his place now
and see that the essentials of silk culture
are there, l. e., plenty Of mulberry leaves,
worms healthy and cocoons of fine quail,
ity, being firm and OF good weight, will
not wonder at his enthusiasm. The gov
ernment spends annually thousands OF
dollars trying to develop the silk industry
in the United States. If they would estab-
lish a station here they could, at a very
small cost, settle the matter, for if silk
culture cannot be made a success in Flor
ida, there is no place in the United States

of cocoons can be raised in one season.
Weunderstand that the Commodore has
offered the government the free use OF his
mulberry orchard of thirty acres, cocoon
cry and fixtures for term of three
years and " i'll do ate them eighty acres
of land, if they will establish station
there, aud give it a fair test. We do not

than accept, as they could go to " ork at
once and not have to wait for the trees
to grow. If there is a reward for perse-
vera ce Com. Norris certainly i'll get his

his enthusiasm, a,d We feel confident
that some day Spring Garden will be the
center of a large silk growing district.

establish market for the cocoons that
could be raised through the country
There is scarcely a family in the county
who could not raise from one to three
ounces of eggs if they were certain of a
sale for them close at hand. Every farm
| yard has from one to 'dozen mulberry
trees about thepremises, which are raised
for the fruit; the leaves could also be
utilized, and thus be made to serve two
purposes and yield the owner something
for the space the tree occupies.
Mr. Norris has over thirty acres al
present in mulberries, twenty-five in peal
trees and a large plum and persimmor

many of the trees showing a good sprink

this mill grinds $4,000, 600 bushels of wheat
yearly; I'd. it has u capacity of I eco bushels
daily; Sd. it is said to make more four than
any two mills on the face of the globe; 4th,
the three mills owned by this company
could feed two cities ~ large us New York;
9th, 200 cars are required every day to take
wheat into and -four and ofial out OF these
mills. The size of the one l visited was
stories high. The first floor was full of ma
chinery for grinding. the roller process is
used. The second floor was for packing and
the rest Of the rooms are used for boiling.
There are seven stones in all. They are well
6xed in case of fire, having four hose reels
and several ire extinguishers ON each floor.
