Is the Bee a Friend of the Seed
Grower.
Grower.

DR.. Fisher expresses doubt in Garden
and Forest whether the bee is at best the
enemy or the friend of the seed grower.
as he is largely both, for without his
work in carrying pollen the fruits of
dipcious plants would not be fortified,
and without it, also, his mischief in
mixing new varieties with inferior sorts
would not be accomplished. 1t is true
that he will give dose of cucumber
flavor to a crop Of cantaloupes, if the
two sorts of Cucurbitaceoe happen to be
planted near neighbors; but, then, he
offsets his bad work by producing new
varieties which are sometimes of very
great value. This work may be better
and more wisely done by the horticul-
tural philosopher, who acts designedly
by combining size and hardness on the
one side with delicacy and productive
ness on the other. This form of lottery
has few grand prizes, but far greater
number of small ones and blanks; the
uncertainty of the drawing adds to the
interest of the investment. The farmer
oftener than the philosopher offers a
new ~variety which the little bee has
helped him to produce the year before,
and of which he has known nothing I'M
til his eye has discovered the distinguish
ed stranger among his melons, cucum-
bers or other ground fruits.

The Niagara in South Florida ripens
for market about June 9th, this season
it was late. Our first shipments to New
York sold for so cents per pound, as our
last shipments July 18th and Goth came
in competition with South Carolina
grapes, the prices were considerably re-
duced. Our net average price for our
whole crop this season was 25 cents per
pound. A vineyard should bear when it
is three years old, at least two tons to
the acre, at $500 per ton. The net price
we received this year opens up anew field
for Investment, and which in the near fu-
ture will become one of FlOrida's main
supports. There are vineyards in Polk,
Lake, VOlusia, and st. Johns counties,
also sixty-fv acres around Orlando, Or
ange county, planted with vines sold by
us, which show q remarkable growth,
both in size of cane and amount OfwOOd.
Among the varieties we are experiment.
ing with this year, the Diamond, and
Green Mountain seem to take the lead,
while dozen others have made very
fine growth. These vines will fruit this
next season, then we can Judge of their
qualities, as vineyard grapes. Our fruit
ing vines are looking fine, and promise
us a large crop of fruit next year.

HOMEGROWN VS.. Purchased Seed.

The Pennsylvania experiment station
in report on tests made of the compare
tive value of home grown versus pur-
chased seeds, arrives at some interesting
conclusions. The ground in which the
seeds grew was ordinary farm soil and
the home grown seeds were selected from
the choicest crops Of the previous year
These were tested last season with seeds
of the same varieties of vegetables from
prominent seed houses. Results made 1t
appear that: I. The station seeds were,
as rule, heavier than the purchased
seeds. 2. The weight was no indication
of the germinative value of the seeds.
3. In the majority of cases the earlier
marketable products were obtained from
purchased seeds. 4. The greater yield,
with but few exceptions, was obtained
from purchased seeds. 5. Lettuce from
purchased seed produced heads that ola
not "shoot up to the flower as early as
the plants from the station seed. D.
Radishes from purchased seeds were
larger, more tender and more uniform
than those from station seeds. Z. On the
whole the results are strongly i'll favor
of seeds from good soil. however rlch
that may be.

found to be going into chrysalis state,
they we're put under glass-with ventila-
tion-and kept until beautiful great yell
low and black butterflies began to crawl
forth and shake their limp wings to
strengthen them.
Other kinds of lepidoptera have been
added to the collection, and now when
we see some beautiful specimen flying
about, perhaps we recognize it at once
and can tell their origin as well as future
career unless we put an end to its mis-
chievous existence.
Now that have found what nuisances
the moths and butterflies come from, l
am very willing they should be killed.

In your issue of September 18th, w.
G. Tilghman, in reply to j. c. Carey, says
Gas to hollow horn there is no such dis
ease originating or located there"
AS to hollow horn being disease do
not know, and where it originates and
why do not know, but do know there
is hollow horn and | know it kills hun
dreds of cattle every year. Symptoms:
Failing appetite watery eyes as il she'd
ding tears, with lump of matter in cor
ner of eyes in the morning. The COW will
get thinner and thinnerin flesh till mere
skeleton; horns cold to the lead, tail hol-
low or homeless down near the end, gets
too weak to getup and dies apparently of
starvation.
Remedy: Throw the COW and turn the
horns ownforcing them into the ground,
one man holds the top hind foot, pulling
back, another holds the head firmly, q
third bOres a not less than three fOurths
inch hole in each horn down near the head

Another Promising Outlook for Flor
ida-The Grape Industry.

ida-The Grape Industry.
The success of another year leads us to
contribute a short article to your most
valuable paper, that those who may have
heard of our vineyard work in South
Florida, may learn how we are doing,
and to those that are seeking profitable
investments, and a healthy cline, may
see this article, and find something in it
of interest to them.
We came to Florida in the fall of 1885.
From our observations, WeWere satisfied
grapes would grow here, and do we'll il
they could withstand the summer heat.
Knowing that white grape, in our
Northern markets, and the Niagara in
particular, brought the highest price.
Asa test we planted one hundred Niagara
White Grape vines in the spring OF 1886,
under quite unfavorable circumstances,
for we had not been in the State long
enough to know how rapidly vegetation
of all kinds grow in this warm climate.
Besides planting, care, and training the
vine, we found was different here than in
other grape growing regions, and the
care the first year is of the utmost i'm
portance in assuming the future profit
ableness of "a vineyard. These fresh vines
grew nevertheless, and did remarkably
well. In 1887 we planted one hundred
more Niagaras, also one hundred vines of
the different leading varieties, while some
of the latter made q feeble growth, others
died, not being able to stand the summer
sun. Being satisfied with the growth of
the Niagara, and as we were not in FlOri-
da for our health, in the spring of 1888
weplanted five acres to Niagaras. These
vines made an enormous growth during
the season, making canes from one half,
to one and one quarter inches in Diane
ter, and from fifty to one hundred and
fiftv feet of wood. Just thirteen months
from the planting of this five acre vine
yard we took from 900 the vines (being
all we allowed to bear) 1900 pounds of
fine fruit, which Melted us 30 cents per
pound. This same season 1889 the vines
we planted in 1886 (three years from
pIanting) averaged ten pounds per vine
those planted in 1888 1.-TWO years from
pIanting) five pounds per vine. From
October 1889, to May 1890, we had an
unusual season, including drouth and
frosts. It's effect on our fruiting vines
was to make them month late in start
ing, and only about One-tifth OF crop.
This we consider doing well, as we are
satisfied that under the same circum-
stances at the north, we would not have
vine living, say nothing OF fruit. AL
though it was so dry, our work this year
compelled us to commence planting the
vines on our own place the latter part oil
January, putting out five acres. These
vines, with others planted for different
parties, have made fine growth, and are
now from one-half to one inch in diameter
with about one hundred feet of wood,
which shows the remarkable vigOr, well

Fallacv of Green Manurlng.

agriculture in genera) L would STATE
what 7 believe to be an incOntrOvertlble
fact. that after one passes the $50 north
latitude, going south, Northern ideas
like a great many Northern varieties OF
vegetables and fruits) are comparatively
valueless, and that Northern plans and
practices Ono matter how good or valu-
able they may be north OF that parelle)
are utterly and entirely impractlcable
south of it; take, for instance, green ma
nuring, and right here may run coun-
ter to the supposed experience OF some OF
our Florida friends Florida theories are
mostly based upon Northern experiences,
while Florida facts are dedueed wholly
and solely from actual, practical expert
ence in Southern agriculture.
For long time green manuring has
been popular throughout the South.
Why? Because until q comparatively re-
cent period the agricultural journals read
by Southern farmers have been published
in the North. We have been looking at
Southern agriculture from Northern
stand point The result is, we have not
made the progress that our great nat
ural and climatic advantages and mex
hadstible resources would Indicate that
we should have made. Is green manur-
ing beneficial? To this | would answer:
In some instances, yes; in other in
stances, no; in still other instances it is
positively Injurious.
AS these answers are contrary to re-
ceived opinion shall try to explain. l
would state that these answers are ap-
piled to all those living south of the BIRD
parallel north latitude and those only.
Those instances in which green manur-
ing might prove beneficial are fewand far
between, and are limited to cases in
which the succeeding crop is planted SO
soon after the turning under OF the green
crop as to enable it to appropriate The
nitrogen accumulated by the crop turned
under) to it's own necessities, previous to
the coming of the winter rain; as nitro
gen, although (by the aid of nitrogen &C
cumulating plants, as clover and legu-
minous plants in generaD much the east
est fertilizer to accumulate in quantity,
is likewise, owing to it's extreme solubili-
ty, especially liable to leach out and get
away as surely and as imperceptibly as it
came. This is dOubly the case on sandy
soils. 1t is very easy matter to accu-
mulate supply of nitrogen, but q very
difficult matter to retain it where the an
nual precipitation amounts to sixty or
more inches.
1t is easy to see that in the northern
tier of States where the annual precipita-
ton rarely exceeds twenty-three inches
and the soil with all the mineral and even
gaseous elements locked up in ice the win
ter through, no loss of even the most sol
uble products (by leachiDg) can possibly
occur
In almost all cases where thecrop to be
turned under is very RANK, luxuriant and
heavy, the turning under of this mass
temporarily kills the land, and nothing
will thrive that is planted in it. This
condition OF things is brought about by
acetous fermentation which must take
place, and without which decomposition
cannot take place.
