to do with Florida, her present, past
or her future?"
Perhaps a great deal, at least the COM
bination with judicious and intelligent
cultivation has made the finest grove Of
it's age in this section, and we have no
hesitation in saying as fine as any in the
State, and at comparatively small cost.
But to begin at the beginning. Just be-
fore the "big freeze of 1886 company
of Kentucky gentlemen had cleared and
set to orange trees fifty acres of ordinary
high pine land about three miles south
west OF DeLaud.
Mr.. J. H. Gregory, q successful Ken
lucky farmer, was put in charge Of the
grove and given exclusive management.
That the selection was good one subse-
quent events have shown.
The young trees in the grove were get
ting along nicely (they all being budded
trees) until January 1886, when the
freeze killed down nearly every tree; some
OF them recovered, but hundreds of trees
had to be re-planted. However, in a
years time the grove was started again
that was four years ago, and, although
the statement may appear unreasonable,
it is nevertheless true, that this is now
one Of the finest groves for it's age we
have ever seen. The trees being of uni
form size and shape over the entire fifty
acres, averaging probably sixteen to
eighteen feet in height and with spread
of branches fully the same distance in cir
cumference. The foliage is dark green and
glossy and the trees are full of fruit. AL
though not an expert at the business we
would say that the crop this year would
be between 1, 800 and 1000 boxes. The
grove bore a little last year, for the first
time-about 300 boxes.
Mr.. Gregory informs us that not an
ounce of the so-calIed commercial fertil-
izer has ever been put on the grove, and
that the only thing that has ever been
given it, besides what was grown on the
land, was about nine or ten hundred
pounds of tobacco stems per acre per
year Costing $14 per ton.)
In order that others may profit from
Mr.. Gregory's experience, we give below
his method, which he kindly furnishes for
the good of his fellow laborers.
THE GREGORY PLAN.
In the first place Mr.. Gregory's idea is
to improve the soil at the same time the
orange trees are fed. With this object in
view he never fails to return to the soil
each year u good supply of vegetable
matter-humus.
About the first Of November of each
year, after the grove has been thorough
ly cultivated with an Acme harrow, a
good quality of Southern rye is sown
broadcast over the entire grove.
No further cultivation or attention is
given the grove until about February,
when the grove is fertilized with tobacco
stems-about 900 pounds to the acre.
These stems are placed around the trees,
commencing at the eXtremities of the
branches and extending out five or six
feet. These stems are 'cultivated" into
the soil Immediately with O. six-fOOt Acme
harrow, heavily weighted.
Mr.. Gregory uses what he calls the
"eight and straight plan in cultivating
that is no ZiOZas around tho troos ono
The Florida agriculturist. [volume] (DeLand, Fla.) 1878-1911, 1890-09-03

woe between rows OF trees, are planted
in COW peas.
In the meantime the cultivator is kept
runningin the "8' form, and the trees are
cultivated at least once week from the
first of April to the last of October.
By the middle of June the COW peas
planted in the "middles" during April
have attained considerable size and are
plowed under. The land is then cultiva-
ted again with the Acme. The cultivatOr
is kept going around the trees, but it
leaves a strip OF crab grass between I'M
touched about six feet wide.
During October this grass is cut by a
moving machine and made into hay, and
as fine hay as wehave ever seen in Florida.
Mr.. Gregory filled his lofts last October
and has fed three horses ever since, sold
quite a lot of it at 81 per 100, and still
has fourteen or fifteen tons left.
Although he has enough of last years
hay to run him another season, he will
start his mower to work next month, as
he can find a ready sale for all he makes
at 500 per ton.
In October, after he has got all the hay
he wants, the crab grass is plowed in,
the entire grove cultivated and planted
in rye again the following month.
The hoe is used but little, although
grass is never allowed to grow under the
+roo on oro1n1 ;tc roo+o 1yo+ Mr. Grooc
ory's method ofusing the Acme cultivates
the ground within few inches of the
trunk of the tree and obviates the necess
sity of much hoeing.
The cultivating OF the grove is done by
one hand with two mules and d six'foot
Acme harrow. Extra hands are, of course,
employed at blowing and hoeing time.
Mr.. Gregory claims that the grove
Lakeside Groveit is called-(and we bear
evidence that it is as good a grove as we
have ever SEEM has cost less by half than
any Othergrove of it's age and size in this
section.
We have outlined above Mr.. Gregory's
plan for making a grove. The grove is
now four years old counting from the
freeze of '86) and has a crop of 1900
boxes of oranges On it. Next year Mr..
Gregory says it will pay expenses ifnoth-
ing happens.
He puts great faith in combination OF
pea vines, tobacco stems and rye, but
when asked the direct question as to
which was of most value, pea vines and
rye or tobacco stems, or rather, which of
the two he would rather do without, he
readily replied that if he had to give up
any it would be tobacco stems.
OF course nearly every man has his the
Dry or his method and no doubt dozens
of them will arise forthwith and say the
Gregory method is wrong, it is not scien-
tific, etc. Be that as it may. We look to
results rather than to methods. We are
shown a fine fifty-acre grove, luxuriant
and full of fruit at the age of five years.
A theOrist, d man with a method leaps
up and says, '"This man Gregory is all
wrong, he isfollowing the wrong method
he will never make q grove" Then we
feel like setting the man down as an idoit
or a fool, unless he can show superior re-
suits from some other method.
