"He Stands from Under"

In your issue of September 4th your
correspondent tries very hard TO escape
the responsibility of having published the
statement that Tardiff or Harris Late or
ange was Seeding raised by E. III. Hart,
of Federal Point. He does not deny hav-
ing made such statement, but proceeds
to call it ''your correspondents error"
and "a mis-statement of his own" Pos
sibly he will claim that the following
errors are mine instead of his.
He says quote from the catalogue of
nursery firm" But said catalogue
bears the imposing title of ga New
Guide to Orange Culture" Further that
said catalogue was ISSUED thirteen or
fourteen years ago." But the "New Guide
to Orange Culture" bears the date of1879;
S9-79-14 The reader must guess
whether this is "slightly'' antiquated or
''too previous" "Being with one excep-
tion the first nursery catalogue i'll the
State"
But in 1879 at least three nursery cat
alogues were issued by parties who had
published previous editions, in all not
much less than a score.
And as TO such a statement represent
ing the best horticultural knowledge at
that time, if it was a Seeding raised by
Mr. Hart then, it is the same now. If tits
budded tree now it was then, and all
who had any knowledge of the facts knew
just what Mr.. Hart knew, and that was
horticultural knowledge A want Of
knowledge is ignorance. Hence want
of knowledge of the facts in Mr.. Hart's
possession, if namod atall, must be horti-
cultural ignorance.
Well, if the error is mine instead of his

| suppose | may as well own up at once.
s'In view Of the rapid progress made in
the interval" it certainly was a very
stupid blunder for me to quote ''from a
nursery catalogue issued thir-
teen or fourteen years ago" upon apoint
so progressive as the origin ofan orange,
then native Floridian, now an aristo-
cratic foreigner. But [ was in guam
dairy Hopkins choice is the SAFEST after
all.
had before me Manville's E'New Guide
to Orange Culture" and Chronological
Bulletin No. l" by p. w. Reasoner. The
writer of one claimed ''ten years. expert
ence in orange culture; the other had no
such experience. One claimed to give
"only such facts as were generally accept
ed" and to ''have carefully studied the
nomenclature OF this class of plants" !"
while the other made no such statements.
One was comparatively a near neigh
Dor of Mr.. Hart, who first brought this
orange into notice, while the other lived
very remote from the place of it's growth.
One said it was Seeding raised by E.
H. Hart" the other Imported from
Thos. Rives, etc."
Between the two l chose the one whom
[ thought had the best opportunity of
learning the facts of the case. And yet
as abundant as were his opportunities,
he had no knowledge OF the facts.

| Looking at it from q financial standpoint
| it is not business. Writers are aotuated
by different motives. Some seek nOtOri-
ETY. by seeing their names in print and
being brought prominently before the
public as educators in some speciality.
Others are secured by ycompensation offer
ed on the part of the publishers, while but
few are actuated by the benefits that may
accrue to the public at large-purely mo-
tives of philanthrophy.
While the best informed of us are aware
that 'swe do not know it all, " orfeel much
can be learned by assembling in conven-
tions and supporting the various beepub-
lications, thereby keeping up with the
times TO do this, it costs cash, or it's
equivalent, which the majority of those
who keep bees do not care to be under.
The expense of their home agricultural
paper should supply such information
and as the wants of each individual are
different from others, and in the the alb
sence of State or local societies, inquiries
through it's columns are the next
best method of securing the desired in
formation. But agricultural societies or
meetings of the Farmers Alliance, when
thoroughly organized, will no doubt be
conducive to the agricultural interest,
as well as other subjects that come under
that department. The field of apiacult-
ure is wide, with room for many more to
engage in the pursuit, as the production
of honey for home consumption is GER
tainly of as much consequence as the
raising of meat, milk, vegetables, orpoul
try for family use. Too many engage in
bee-keeping with the expectation of ac-
complishing wonders in securing both
surplus and increase, and fail in both.
One strong colony is worth more for OBJ
tanning a surplus than half a dozen weak
ones, and the sooner that is ascertained
together with a knowledge of the instinct
that governs the bee and just when the
honey plants come in bloom in each local
ity, the greater the chance to become sue
sessful. j. Y. DETWILER.

Does Irrigation Affect Quality.

| have just finished reading your "Irri-
CATION Number" and in the article by
Mr.. James Mott find an allusion to the
large size of California fruit. He says a
Flemish Beauty pear grown in New York
or any of the New England States is a
good specimen, and would weigh three
fourths of pound while in California
they grow in weight to three and four
pounds. He then adds: cit is so in Cal
ifornia with their fruits of all kinds, larger
in size over othercountries; they are won
ders, and why? Irrigation"
My experience with all kinds of Califor-
MIA summer fruits is that they are very
insipid and tasteless. | ask why? Is it
irrigation? If SO, | much prefer the

grown without irrigation to the over
grown, insipid products of irrigation. |
do not say that irrigation destroys the
flavor of fruit. The insipidity of CaIifor-
MIA fruit may be owing to other causes,
but it certainly does exist, and citing CAL
ifornia fruit as a product of irrigation is
at least a questionable argument in it's
favor

creased by irrigation, but has the system
been thoroughly tested as to it's effect
upon the quality? Does an artificial sup
ply of water cause an unnatural growth,
so as to cause the quality of the fruit to
deteriorate? Is what is gained in guam
tity lost in quality? If it is | prefer the

HOrticulturist, Denison, Texas, and the
instruction and advice given is applica-
BILE to this section:
CABBAGE.
If the first sowing ofcabbage seed failed
in anyway, ''try, try again!" Keep put
ting in a succession of sowings, so as to
be sure of a stand of good plants. Keep
them shaded during the heat of the day.
Watch for the flea beetle, and if he ap-
pears "a small black, hopping beetle,)
dust the plants with wood ashes mixed
with paris green as soon as they appear
above ground. Water plants in the eve
ming thoroughly about three times week
the ground should be soaked each time,
not dampened little on the surface
CUCUMBERs.
After the first good rain Elephants that
have been raised in tin cans should be
transplanted If the stems are too long
to stand erect, bend them over slightly
when setting out and cover with soil
with little calomel mixed with flour or
ashes.
RADISHES.
Sow the seed of radishes eitherin beds by
themselves or between cabbage, cauli-
flower or with beets and carrots They
will be up before the beets, and show the
row to the cultivator and beready to pull
before the beets have begun to mature
They do the best in rich, loamy soil, but
it should not be fertilized with fresh stable
manure, especially this time ofyear The
small red turnip-roOted sorts, like the
Early Erfurl, Scarlet Turnip, Early Car
mine, are generally best for forcing; also
the olive-shaped French Breakfast, which
is favorite with the market gardeners.
Long Scarlet ShOrt-Top, Long White Vi
emma and Charter are somewhat later
kinds. The best winter sorts which should
be sown this month and during October
are the Black Spanish and Chinese Rose,
and the large mild and very reliable Cali
fornia Mammoth
SPINACH
A perfectly hardy vegetable that grows
best in the cool months and much used
for salads. Relished by many more than

fall supply, and later for the early winter
and early spring use. The variety Long
Standing is most tardy in going to seed,
and probably the best
Satisfy OR VEGETABLE OYSTER.
Makes good winter vegetable, and will
yet make a good growth ii sown now in
rich beds. 1t stands heavy freezings, and
makes a rich soup.
TURNIPS.
1t is best to SOW turnip seeds in drills in
rich soil. They should be thinned when of
good size to six or eight inches and cult
waited several times. Among the best va
rieties are the Purple Top, White Globe,
and Extra Early Milan. Seven Tops
makes good green's. Super-phosphate
makes good top dressing for turnips
TOMATOES.
Old tomato vines that yet live should
be layered and fertilized, and you will have
good fall supply of that luscious fruit
Or cuttings can be made from old vines
that will yet make fruit.
