The orange crop in Orange county is
somewhat below the usual product.
Some bearing groves exhibit full crops.
while other do not, excepting particular
trees, comparatively fewin number Such
groves bear in places according or not,
as the frost of March 18th last, caught
them full Of sap or almost dormant.
Those who stimulated their trees,
through the winter by heavy fertilizing
were the heaviest losers. but had there
been no killing frost, they would have
been the largest gamers.

A magnificent rubber tree-Ficus elias.

F. Spervy, on Central Avenue, Orlando,
1t is but a little over three years old yet,
it has a trunk four or five inches in
diameter, and it's branches extend over
an area of at least fifteen feet in diameter
though probably not less than twenty
feet-being of about the same height. 1t
has nine main branches, and at least
fifty minor limbs or Shoots" The
freeze OF March 18th destroyed fully one
half it limbs and all the foliage; since
then, it has regrown all that was lost

be the largest of the kind in Orange
county, presents magnificent spectacle
Like the orange, if it can get a fair start
it will stand we'll the frosts of our winter.

At Maitland, on the South Florida Rail-
road, is an elegant mansion surrounded
by spacious lawn full of fine decorative
plants and trees, that bears this legend
on the gateway entrance "Sha-wond-a
see," which the irreverent claim to be a
corruption and contraction of should
you-want -to-see-itte. The finest Grevilla
Robusta or Australian silk oak that we
have observed growing anywhere, is to
be found at this place.

The yard and garden combined of Rev.
S. V. McCorcle, at Maitland, on the
South Florida Railroad is one Of the
most attractive we have beheld any
where. The variety OF plants is large
and choice. Mr.. McCorcle, combines with
his pastoral duties that Of an agricultur-
ist, with marked degree of success in
both. His success as an agriculturist is
remarkable.

On the southern shore of Lake Bowen,
about three miles away from Orlando, is

Here there is half an acre or more under
cover, protected by a frame work Of

feet apart, and are of such choice varie-

Queen, Crown Queen, Egyptian Queen,
etc. Mrs. Wilson thinks that per acre,
from three to four hundred dollars, year
| ly, may be made even in our latitude, by
| iudicious management. The fact, however,
being kept in mind, that single expos
ure to frost any winter, will ruin the crop
for the following season.
~
| A rather curious thing to be seen at
| this season Of the year is heavy yield of
the common pie melon or citron, a half
acre Or more of which are to be canned
at the place of Mr.. G.. r. Baker at Or
lando. These melons are oblong, and at
first sight, give one an impression of a
large watermelon patch, with a most
prolific yield of melons. One vine alone
has produced twenty citrons. Besides
preserving purposes Mr.. B. says, the
chief value of this crop is to protect the
ground from the intense summer heat.
*x*
Can pine apples be raised profitably in
this latitude as a source OF income? Re-
cent experiments haXc proved that they
can be, that is with proper protection
against the frosts OF winter. The pro-
ceding of this protection, however, re-
quires much time and labor, but it pays.
Four years ago, Mr.. Geo. Reed, OF Forest
City, Orange county, set out under cover,
some 400 pine apple plants of the varie-
ty known as the Red Spanish, our com
mon Florida pine apple, synonymous
terms for which are Key Largo, West
India, Key West, etc. The protecting
cover to these consists of an overhead
sort Of lattice work covered with pine
straw. leaves and dead grass. About
$50 feet long by so feet wide. The second
year they have a good crop. The present
one there is an autumn crop of fully 200
apples, from these 400 plants. They are
set two feet apart, and are in a most
thrifty condition. The apples sell at 25
cents piece and over. In addition to
this there are four other beds of pine
apples in various stages Of growth. Some
quite small making an aggregate of fully
1,4OO plants. He estimates the crop,
this year, in the way OF apples alone, as
being worth $50. His fertilizer is stable
manure, of which he has an abundance.
Soil originally first class pine.

Two miles out Of Orlando, perhaps
trife more, on the line of the G.. A. & O.
Railroad is the new grapery OF Mr. Hash
ner of the Pennyslvina Standard Oil Co.
1t consists at present, of six and a quarter
acres and the varieties planted about
one-half White Diamond and the remain
der Niagara. They are arranged in rows
nine feet apart and distance between
rows eight feet, and are supported as yet,
by one strand OF No. II galvanized wire,
twenty inches from the ground. These
vines on Northern grown, two year old
roots, were set out partly in April, and
the latter end of May last. They were
then, not over four inches above the

growth OF over eight feet. The soil is Of
the usual Orlando, chocolate colored
variety, but at first. fat pine land.

Suckers on Orange Trees-Fertilizer
Analyses.

~
Your correspondent S. B. M. seems to
be all mixed up with the conflicting Cpin-
ions of the orange culturists and does
not at all like the expression that q 'six
ange culture than the oldest inhabitant,"
yet he is rather disposed to believe it is
the truth. Now if he had taken in one or
two correct ideas in the two years, he
would not have had any suckers to pull
off this time of year, or if he was SO care
less an orange grower as to have some,
he would not have rushed into print to
tell all his neighbors about it, for the
purpose of an illustration. Water
sprouts are not SO bad, but suckers, oh,
my! [ reckon that all the old growers
will agree on this one point that those
suckers ought not to have been there,
that they ought to have been rubbed OF
in their earliest infancy.
But as they are then for fact, [ agree
with his first neighbor to let them alone
until the spring. No knife or pruning
shears should touch young trees after
the first OF November. Our object should
be to keep them as nearly dormant as
possible and while a few may grow little
in warm winter, there is nothing like
the flow of sap that would follow fertiliz-
ing and working and pruning. The rea-
son that so many young trees we're killed
last March, was because the sap was
flowing freely and the young growth was
out all over the trees Had the same de-
gree OF cold come in January, there
would scarcely have been any loss OF
trees. If S. b. M. will study that point
he will not be long in deciding which of
his neighbors is right. When he get his
young trees killed down several times he
will probably learn to lean as far over on
the safe side as possibls.
can not conceive in what agricultural
paper he gets instruction to just cover
the fertilizer with a little dirt. Does he
not find the market gardeners covering
their land with fertilizer broadcast and
turning it under six to ten inches deep
with two and three horse plOws? When
| recommend blowing four inches deep in
the orange grove and turning the furrow
down, he seems to think that very deep
blowing indeed. In farming we would
think that very shallow. In covering his
fertilizer with little dirt how does he ex-
pect the tree to get the good out OF it un-
less it runs it's roots upward to it. Ii
this should continue year after year the
roots will be up to the surface and when

SEES. When weconsider that one.half ounce
of sample is used in computing the
amount of ammonia, phosphoric acid
and potash in ton of fertilizer, or one
part in $4,000, we are not surprised at
the differences il analyses. 1t reminds me
of the Florida gardener who plants rod
square in vegetable, and then sells so
many dollars worth from it besides sup
plying his family, and then figures it out
that if he had only planted an acre he
would have made a fortune. Ii there is
so much difference in the analysis of cot

acts of the present National Adj
ministration and the usurpation of

lican majority in the present Con-
gress of the United States; that
we condemn the Mckinley bill as a
menance to the prosperity of our coun-
try, paralyzing to agricultural interests
and crippling other industries; that we
favor a revision of the tariff laws; that
we denounce the policy of the Republi-
can party for it's reckless extravaganza in
the expenditure of public money, thereby
creating necessity for still higher aud
more onerous taxation: that we refer
with special pride to our present able
Executive, Governor Albeit. and the
patriotic course of Senator MCPHERSON;
that we heartily indorse the action of our
Representatives in Congress, and that we
extend our hearty sympathy and CO.

the full accomplishment of the praise
worthy objects for which they are legiti-
mately organized and united.
