aras and other white grapes.
1t is a bold opinion of some of the new
grape growers of our Southern counties
to affirm that black grapes do not do we'll
in their section, when they have expert
mented with few varieties only (such as
| Concord, Moore's Early and Eumelan)
| which are known, the two former, to ripen
unevenly all over the South. and the lat
ter to do well in but ewfavored localities
| in the whole country.
| From information gathered by reports
sent to me from the different parts Of the
State I will submit for your approval the
above classification of grapes, expect
ing all those present who have any re-
marks to make in regard to this classifi-
cation to kindly giveus the result of their
past observations. EN-. DUBOIS.
Discussion of grapes then followed.
Mr. Owens stated that he had seen the
HerbemOnt bear heavily. Leaf roller
never troubled it and he believes it a
|
good grape for home use.
Mr.. Anderson said his experience had
been with vines from the north. They
did we'll for year or two and then COM
menced going back and finally all died.
Others reported the same results.
Mr.. Quaintance believed that the plant
ing OF wild roots and then grating was
the best plan. He had planted Black
Hamburg on it's own roots and it gradu-
ally deterioated, while on wild roots it
grew finely and bore abundantly.
Mr.. Pierce said his neighbor had very
fine grape, but when allowed to grow on
it's own roots was no success, but when
grated on wild roots did finely and had
produced abundantly without any care
or training. Niagaras had done well.
Had a Sweetwater that had made a
growth OF rs feet.
Mr.. FOX's opinion was that Florida
grown plants did the best
Mr.. Pierce had experimental with Black
Hamburg one year old from California,
1t made vigorous growth the first year,
but when the time came for pruning
found that the vine had died back to the
roots, cut it off and it sprouted up
and made vigorous growth the second
year but found them the same when the
time came for pruning again.
Mr.. Fox had the same experience.
Mr. Anderson believed in having home
grown plants and trees for planting.
| Mr.. Adams had not been able to detect
any difference as to how the plant was
started so that it was a vigorous and
healthy one, and suited to the climate
and soil.
Mr.. Albright thought it advisable not
to recommend the excessive planting of
grape wines. Those who had money
could experiment, but as there is such a
variety in soils in the Stateit was proper
to advise amateurs to go slow.
Mr.. Moreman said that ten years ago
| there was a vineyard of ten acres planted
| out below Jacksonville. 1t was well cul-
tivated and fertilized, but not vine is
| there now, and he was reluctant about
advising extensive planting. At first it
was thought that English walnuts would

Wednesday Evening.

WeUmeSUSty Evening.
The Society met pursuant to adjourn
ment in the evening, and the meeting
was called to order by the president.
Mr.. E. S. Hubbard then read the fol
lowing essay on oranges, and with it en-
tered the contest for the premium offered
by the Exposition management for the
best essay on that subject:
ESSAY ON ORANGEs-THEIR PROPAGATION
AND CULTURE.
To the President and Members of the Florida
Horticultural Society,":
''The operations of nature are gov
erned by laws; simple and plain as re-
CARDS their ends, certain and memorable
in their results, but intricate and obscure
in their operations.
"The various species OF the citrus fam
lily were described by Gallesio many years
ago, and his thorough experiments de-
termined the direct hybrids. They form
the basis OF all later systematic re-
search.
II shall treat briefly of oranges prop
err, the Citrus Noblis being apparently
brought to an advanced stage of merit
by ages of cultivation in the East
81. The primal type is the Portugal
round, which comes true to seed, is con-
stitutionally strong and is slow to cross
and hybridize. The common Florida
Seeding is of this strain.
90. Next is the Seville or China Sweet,
of which the Washington Navel is the
highest type. The sweet rind tissue and
juice come by hybridization with the cit
ron which was the first species OF citrus
cultivated in Asia Minor.
"3. Then follows the St. Michaels,
which is the Portugal slightly hybridized
by the lemon. This is plain in the pun
gency of the skin and sprightliness OF
sub-acid.
a. Last is the Maltese Blood family,
the most complex hybrid of all and from
insular propagation it has the highest
breeding.
"The parent is evidently the China
sweet and the rudy skin and pulp and
star calyx come from the shaddock
There are also evidences of lemon infu-
ence, probably chiefly due to the lemon
stocks which were almost entirely used
until the beginning of the present cen
fury.
'The imported varieties of oranges in
cultivation are from these strains and
their various crosses.
"Late experiments show that the infu-
ence of cross pollenation on the young
fruit and terminal buds is direct and i'm
mediate and advanced citri-culturists
contend that this is a law of so called
bud variations and sports, which are not
the result of blind chance but are artif-
cially obtainable and can be propagated
to form new varieties without waiting for
the slow process of seed termination and
tree growth
"The Seeding has had it's day and
feel warranted in saying thatin ten years
oranges will be sold by name as apples
are now in northern markets, while the
thick skinned, course tissued, seedy
Seeding will be no more thought of for a
dessert fruit than the cider apples of a

Divorced from Dead Husband.

Tho rare ceremony Of divorcing
woman from hor dead husband, accord
ing to tho requirements Of tho old Mo-
sale law, took place recently at Louis
Vile in tho B'Nai Jacob Synagogue.
The woman was Mrs. J. Levin, whose
husband was killed by tramps last sum
mer. She had no children, and tho old
law Of tho orthodox Jews is that in such
a case tho dead mans eldest brother is
to marry the widow and raise up chill
dren in the name OF tho deceased. Mrs.
Levin, however, did not desire to marry
Moses Levin, her husbands brother,
nor no her. Accordingly she must DO
divorced from her dead mate. This
ceremony can only be performed by two
orthodox Jewish rabbits acting in con-
junction. AS these could not DO found
in Louisville they were imported from
Chicago for tho occasion. An admission
fee of twenty-five cents was charged,
and quite q number OF persons wit

Universalist Church.

The First UniverSalist church of
Morristown was completed and dedi-
Gated in August, 1870. 1t was build
ed as union church, but afterwards
passed into the control of the Univer-
salists. Prominent among the found
ers were the familiar names of David
p. Noyes, Calvin Burnett, Alfred
Boardman, d. w. Putnam, Edwin
Shaw, Warren Spaulding and Nehe-
miah Town. In the month of Febru-
airy, 1881, a fire broke out in dwell
ing near and the church was COM
pletely destroyed. After the burning
of the first church the society was
greatly discouraged, but, never de-
spairing, they soon began to gather
material for the erection of another
and more modern structure. S. M.
Pennock, Orlo Cady, John c. Page,
H. S. Kelsey, Arad Baker, F. T.
George, ]. P West, were active work
ers in the cause, and while we would
not omit any of the many helpers, we
gladly honor these leaders by men
ton in this connection.
The present church was completed
and dedicated in 1865. The first
church organization was formed in
1867, and the Rev. G.. w. Bailey was
called and settled as it's pastor. This
church, like most of the New England
churches, has had sunshine and cloud,
but after lapse of one quarter of a
century the church still remains well
preserved, the society united and in
a prosperous condition. Under the
guidance of our beloved pastor, Rev.
Myra Kingsbury, we trust much good
is being done, and the cause of lib
eral christianity, for which our fathers
wrought, is being carried forward.

The mountains, the mountains, the noun

Vast, imperturbable, above or below,
Grave judges, in silence attention are they

Who shall interpret what we all fain would

Many, many, many centennials, they say,
Since these heights upheaved these valleys

Force with force contending, achieving long

The mountains, the mountains, the noun

Calm and superior to all meath their feet;
Exalted? or hnmbled, when adamant was

Proud? or enraptured ?-choose thesymbol

Many, many, many centennials have been,
Since the cooling world was wrinkled out and

Mountain-chain or valley-no thanks to either

Fill thy place as truly, for the faithful are few
The storm-clouds, the storm-clouds, career

Rivers aerial from ocean to rill
Lured sun-ward, loosed earth-ward, the foun-
tains of earth-fountains
Writ DER with lghtnings, with wind-voices

Many, many, many centennials have they
Come and overfiowed, or Knocked and fled

Long was earth mist-cumbered with vapors
that Cypress,
Ye whose - life is vapor," let it vanish but

The dawning of morning, the twilight still

Lavish of coloring upon mountain crest;
Soft twilight, blest twilight, so precious to
the lowly,
Means it some message to the east from
the west?
Many, many, many centennials away,
Fairy robes the morn and eve began display
Who filed light with beauty hath plenty
