sorry at the time and my regret was in

ceedings as published in the FLORIDA

| am especially interested in the cult
walton OF figs, and when [ read the dis
cussion upon that subject l thought l
would write something about them at
once, but being very busyit has been neg
lected until the present time.
If any of the residents of South Florida
find it too cold there to grow figs would
advise them to move north, to this part
of the State, as we do notfind it too cold
here
A frost after the leaves have
started into growth is always
injurious, but we have never seen
any serious damage until March II, 1890.
Even then with most of the trees in full
vigor of growth and many of them hav-
ing already begun to set fruit we had on
ly two very small ones killed to the
ground. All were more or less injured,
except Celeste; that was an exception to
the general rule, and had not yet began
to grow and therefore escaped injury en-
tirely. Out of seven other varieties,
the trees of which were large, only
one, the White Adriatic, was really seri
ously hurt. White Adriatic has done the
least good on my place of all the varieties
that have tested. Though have grown
it three years, [ have never yet gotten a
perfect or we'll ripened specimen.
I have now fruited the Black Ischia,

Chemical Fertilizers Make Barren
Soils.

Is it not possible that in the course of
timely the constant application ofchem-
ical fertilizers, and the dilligent exclusion
from the soil of all form ofvegetable mat
ter, with the exception of the orange
trees, that we will make our soil so bar
rem that it will be unable to sustain the
orange tree or at least fail to make it
bear proftably?
On this subject of commercial fertiliz-
ers, Mr.. F. D. Curtis writes in the New
York Herald:
Land destitute of vegetable matter
will neither absorb nor retain moisture.
There is always a poor growth without
sufficient dampness, and this is an i'm
portant reason why commercial fertiliz-
ers work better, as their advocates ad-
NIT, 'Ewhen used with barnyard manure"
[ have been called old fogyish for insist
ing that farmers should not put much
faith in the so-called phosphates. 1t
seems to be foolish to follow any system
so expensive and risky, and which tends
to make increased dryness in the soil,
when experience teaches that moisture is
so essential. [ am satisfied that much
drainage is an evil, and coupled with this
comes the phosphate craze. 1t should
be the aim of farmers to increase the
vegetable matter in the soil. Thousands
OF acres of land in the older States have
been made unproductive, if not barron,
.. by the exhaustion OF vegetable matter.
Commercial fertilizers will never restore
these lands nor keep up the fertility of the
larger portion of the areas now under
| cultivation. They should be used only
as aids in promoting the growth ofplants.
In some soils, where there is a supply of
organic matter, superphosphates un-
doubtedly increase crops. Farmers,
| however, do not discriminate, but with
| deal of guess work and lavish outlay,
| they overlook natures laws for replenish-
| ing the soil. 1t is one of the standard
arguments of fertilizer agents, that it is
| good economy to sell straw and other
fodder and buy from them the weighty
| compounds with the small per cent of
ammonia, phosphoric acid, potash and
,, nitrogen. Ny system is to purchase
these substances in the form of fodder,
and keep more animals, and make them

Royal Poincianas (Coesalpinia) lightly
touched, but long since fully recovered
1t is decidedly the proper thing to grow
them in this latitude. Coffeeplants (Coi-
fla Arabica) of a number of plants some
only are growing again from the roots.
The Passion Flower or Granadilla (Passi-
fora edulus) dropped it's leaves, but
speedily recovered them.
The Tiger Apple (Thevetia Nerifora)
suffered so little that it now shows no
traces of the onslaught. But dropping
botanical names to some extent, and
going rapidly through the remainder, it
may be said that the tea plants, Cardo-
mon, cayenne, cherry, :camphor and Gin
namon trees were notharm in the least.
All the Hibiscus were killed to the ground,
but have grown with such extreme rapid
ity from the roots that they will soon be
in full flower. Poinsetta Pulcherimma
appears to be gone beyond redemption;
it gives no evidence of sprouting from
the roots. Roses of every description
seemed never to know there had been
phenomenal freeze.
Tamat, or egg fruit Iii Esq suffered
nothing from the frost, but nearly all OF
them died from other causes.
The Grevillea Robusta, Australian silk
oak, ceased to exist.
Otaheite and West India gooseberries,
killed to the ground, have already more
than regained their original size.
The cocoanuts, Cocas Nucifera, are once
more coming out nicely from their stems.
Very small ones unaffected.
Tropical almond (Terminalla Catappa)
gone-root and branch. The same, also,
of the melon pear (Solanum Gautema-
lense).
TheAvocado pear Persea Gratissima),
though much injured, dropping all it's
leaves and the ends of limbs dying, has
Low fully recovered it's original size and
amount OF verdure. A tree of this species
twenty or thirty feet high in the yard OF
a neighbor was nevergrazed, leaf or limb.
The same, also, of a large mango several
years old on the same premises. The lar
ger rubber tree of two Fiscus Elastica was
totally exterminated. A very small one
of three or four inches remained I'M
scathed, and is now growing with won
derful energy.
Although there are thirty or forty ad-
ditional plants to which the writer might
refer, and which suffered from the freeze in
varying degrees, but he thinks that
enough has been said on the subject at
this time, especially by the lapse of time
and the amount already said in reference
to it by others it may be deemed rather
stale. Still he believes that the informa-
ton conveyed as to the relative hardness
of tropical plants in such greatfreeze as
that of March 18th will be of interest and
value in many sections. 1t may be well
to add in conclusion that the lowest point
reached by the thermometer on that Oc
casion was 25o above zero.

Vitality of Tropical Plants.

The power of resistance to cold pos
sessed by tropical and sub-tropical vege-
tation is matter of serious Importance
to, by far the greater portion OF the ag-
ricultural community. Noting some re-
marks on this subject by a citizen of
Lake county in one of your recent issues,
the writer was led to believe the subject
not so ancient, but what it might be
again referred to at some length-thus
Offering the reader a cool subject of
thought these hot, enervating summer
days.
Our contemporary in Lake county was
indeed kindly favored, as he evidently
CHANGED to be in one of those compare
lively warm streaks, of which there were
so few in the big freeze of March II. The
cold was not impartial-it struck here
and there with greater force than at 9th
ers, but the rare places that escaped, par
tally, are not sufficient to redeem our
winter climate from it's evil reputation
for fast diminishing semi-tropicality.

otherwise-he planted over a year ago,
on his place near Oakland. which is in

tropical plants within what is known as
the "water protection of Lake Apopka."
Many of them, so far as is known, being
thus planted farther north in the State

cies. And how the cold served them, in a
limited scope ofcountry usually from to
50 warmer, during cold spells, than other
places in Orange county, it is now our
aim to tell as concisely as we can.
ANoNAs.
In this division the jamaica Apple,
(cherimoya) Cherimolia, escaped with no
injury; but one of the two plants, both
small, as were nearly all the others, sub
sequently died from drouth. The Sour
Top Anona (Muricata) dropped their
leaves, but one is again in full foliage;
the other killed by the drouth. Pond
Apple (Anona Elabra) shed it's leaves,
but soon after vigorously resumed them.
Custard Apple (Anona Eticulata) the
one left uncertain but q sickly existence.
Sugar Apple (Anona Squamosa) is nat
urally deciduous and had parted with it's
leaves before the frost came, but excep-
ting the dead ends of limbs, is growing
vigorously. Several very small plants of
this species were not hurt at all.
What may be deemed remarkable is
that the Sapodillas (Achras SapOta) gen
orally supposed to be exceedingly tender
were entirely untouched by the freeze.
This would seem to Indicate that they
can be raised successfully in this latitude.
They bear in three and a half years from
the seed. The Mammee (Sapota Tucuma
Mammosa) is growing again from the
roots. Of the two Mammee Apples NAM
mea Americana) one was killed outright
and the other not injured in the least.
The Cocoa Plum (Chrysobalanus icaca)
was exterminated. Pawpas (Carica
Papaya) vanished root and branch.
They survived admirably all the other
freezes but the last Under ordinary cir
cumstances they will grow well and fruit.

train service from the east through the states
of Montana and Washington. Pullman sleep

via the Wisconsin Central and Northern Pacific,
and Pullman palace sleeping cars via Chicago.
Milwaukee & st. Paul and Northern Pacific,
from Chicago through to the Pacific Coast with
out change. This is the Dining Car and Yellow
stone Park route. The large travel on the
Northern Pacific line necessitated the inaugu-
| ration in June, 1890, of second through train
10 the Pacific Coast, thus enabling this road TO
offer the public the advantage of two through
trains daily to Montana and points in the
Pacific Northwest, carrying complete service
of sleeping cars, dining cars and regular day
coaches. The train leaving st. Paul in the
morning runs via the recently completed air
line of the Northern Pacific through Butte,
Montana, making this the shortest line to the
latter point by 1870 miles.
Colonists for Washington, Oregon and British
Columbia points should take no other line than
the Northern Pacific as by this line only can
all portions of the state of Washington be
seen stop-overs are allowed on second class
tickets at Spokane Falls and all points west,
enabling settlers to inspect the country with
out extra expense.
