"All flesh is as grass, likewise all flesh

Bone, blood and potash contain all the
elements of plant food that comes from
the soil. The question of their applica-
tion is the one for the planter to solve.
Now, Mr. Tree-Pruner and Blood-Out-of-
a-Turnip orange grove man, don't under
stand me to say that we must use bone,
blood and potash, and if we cannot get
those we can't manure our trees; for from
many other substances we get the same
elements. For instance: Every body
will say fertilize grape vines with bone
meal, when the facts are that old-fash-
ioned cow-dung, two shoveliuls to the
vine, has this season made me the finest
vineyard OF it's age I ever saw in any sec

Gardens as immigration Agents.

Gardens as immigration Agents.
One thing that has most impressed me
in Florida is the apparent lack. of gar
dens, and in conversation with others
from Yankee land, l find that their i'm
pressions are similar; they are very much
disappointed, for they have read time
and time again that fresh vegetables
were grown here every month IN the
year, and that every new conner could
almost support himself and family from
the product of his garden, if he gave it
Natul ally, they are considerably disap-
pointed when they see so few real gardens
and learn thetrue facts of the case. This
causes them to listen with suspicion to
tLll statements about the possibilities of
Florida and makes them slow to advise
their friends to make their homes here.
The question is not SO much as to what
can be done here but as to what is actual
ly accomplished. Let them but see gar
dens about the homes generally, and
in as fourishing condition, as in the
Northern States during the summer
months, and with the many other gen
uine attractions and advantages that
Florida really possesses, an army pick
tied along the whole frontier could not
keep out the hosts of home seekers that
would be imbued with jealous deter
mination to make their homes here in
Florida.
Hence when I read the request for
Special Garden Number, and noted your
prompt compliance Herewith, [ felt very
much pleased for have-full faith in the
possibilities of Florida. Butthe verse of
the old catechism, "In Adams fall we sin
aI,'' keeps repeating itself il my mind
and L cannot help wondering why Adam
could not have exercised a little self re-
straint and refrained from taking bite
OF that fatal apple though it was pressed
to his lips by the most graceful, entranc-
ing and seductive WOmaR that ever lived.
But, suppose that he, like the latter
sons OF Adam, could not refuse to do
anything that was zealously urged by a
sweet, genial, lovely woman.

and amount of cultivation, and the
thousand and one other desirable details.
If some paper, the AGRICULTURIsT for in
stance, could and would publish these
exhaustive data and illustrate them with
plans, diagrams, Photographic views OF
scenes in the garden, the varied prcduc-
tions in all stages of growth from the
seed to the mature plant and fruit; the
different implements used, and Adam
and Eve in consultation to decide
whether particular plat should be de-
voted to beets orcabbage, or some other
vegetable; in what direction from their
mansion they would prefer to have Or
anges, grapes, peaches, etc.; whether they
would cultivatecow peas, sweet potatoes,
cassava, etc., for their stock or let them
range the woods and take their chances; !;
if we had all these details, how happy we
should all be and what a vast amount Of
trouble it would save us in arranging our
gardens, for take it for granted that
the garden was planted in the best posi-
BILE shape, very productive and that there
was no lack of all the good things that
could add to their comfort and satisfac-
tiOn.
But now the terrible thought occurs to
me that they had not as yet learned the
times of ripening of their fruits and vege-
table, nor the proper modes of preserving
them for further use. Perhaps, like we
denizens of Florida, they had not learned
just how, when and where to plant so as
to have perpetual succession of crops,
and were consequently on short ratiOns
owing to lack OF good cellar, cold stor-
age. or first class silo. Perhaps after
all that is the reason they were so very
hungry for apples that they persuaded
the big "snake'' to wriggle up the apple
tree and pick them. Evidently the boy
of to-day had not been admitted to the
garden.
But let that pass; the fruits of the gar
den of the present is what am hunger
ing for, body and soul, with an intensity
that thus far has not been appeared, and
| do hope that your Garden Number"
will be the means of putting us all on the
high road to success in gardening, and
consequently give an immense impetus to
the development of balmy, genial, health
full, delightful Florida.

he has succeeded in making some of the best

that ho is a regularly ordained minister of the

his character, both as gentleman and eyangc-

On this showing he was granted the use of the
