Florida's soil, or climate, or both, espec-
tally when aided by superphosphate and
strong soap suds. Nine weeks from plant
ing we began to gather peas. The more
peas we picked the faster they grew.
They lasted several weeks and we must
have picked several bush els of peas. ] re-
gret that did not keep memorandum
of the quantity. | concluded that COW
peas will certainly grow here and that it
does pay to fertilize.
May 10th I planted a quantity OF COW
peas in the grove on pine land that has
been cultivated for several years and
they are heavy mass of rampant vines
with few peas. May 10Th ! planted an
other lot of peas adjoining. The vines are
not 80 heavy and there are more peas.
May Oath and 9th continued planting.
The vines were smaller, but are giving a
handsome yield of peas. The land is not
as fertile as where planted to, 18th and
10Th. May 23d planted peas on por-
ton of the land had dug up for my new
garden-a plot 4Ox4O feet square. The
rows were two and a half feet apart, hills
fifteen inches-plantedt two to three inches
deep. They came up in four days, were
hOed three times, ashed once; July Goth [
picked ten quarts, and two or three times
a week since have picked from ten to
thirty six quarts, mostly shell peas, O few
string with each mess. Up to date
August GOTH have picked one hundred
and fifty-siX quarts. They are still put
ting out fresh bloom, and could proba-
bly, pick from half to whole bushel at
any time. August 9th planted another
plot to peas and propose to plant more
the last OF the month. None except the
first planted were fertilized. Cow peas
are properly a field crop, and l have said
more about them than [ intended, but
my experience shows that it pays to
thoroughly cultivate and fertilize even
cow peas.
AS could get time from other duties
worked on the plat of land near the pond,
which had been considerably lowered by
the drouth; dug up a strip twenty yards
wide, about half of it being between the
palmettoes and the water. Itwas sandy
land with moderate amount of vegeta-
BILE matter. | shoveled the dirt toward
the water, raising the land abouteighteen
inches at the lower 81 lie and lowering it
about q foot at the upper. Gave it
sprinkling OF air-slaked lime at the rate
of four barrels per acre and raked it in
with steel rake, hoping to neutralize the
acid in the soil and transform the organic
matter into nitrates. A few days after
applied cotton seed meal, ground bone
and potash at the rate of two hundred
pounds each per acre, raking it in.

had a plentiful supply. About q week
later, it now being the middle of April
and too late in the season to expect great
returns, planted the portion prepared
to variety of garden vegetables as
would have done at the North q month
later. Ibid notexpect much, but thought
it would put the land in a better shape
for fall and winter garden. None of

hall the living OF family. With good
cow, also, comforts would be greatly in

swine in varied stages OF growth and a
dozen or two fowls If | had the means to
put up woven wire or steel picket fence

of in our PHILOSOPHERS in school days,

was much pleased when | saw your
announcement of Especial Garden
Number" and I said to myself, "Now we
shall be able to learn some facts that will
tend to make life in Florida more pleas
ant, interesting and profitable. From the
combined ideas of those who are trying
to increase our home resources, we shall
learn how to grow things at all seasons,
the kinds of land to select, the best modes
of cultivation, and the change OF diet to
which we are subjected will bemore agree
able than at present"
At first did not intend to give an &C
count OF my gardening experience, think
ing it probable that others with more
complete gardening experience would be
better able to cover the ground, but re-
fecting that as things are all new to NE
here they might appear differently to me
than to others, and calling to. mind the
story of the seven blind men who went to
see the elephant, each one feeling of diff
ferent part of the animals body, and
consequently having very different ideas
as to what the beast was like, and realiz-
ing also that this garden question is
something of an elephant, concluded to
go ahead and trust to fate whether |
struck it at the head, or tail, or else
where. [ trust that when the Garden
Number appears we shall find greater
unanimity of opinion as to what to do,
how and when and where to plant and
cultivate to secure good garden, than
existed among the blind men when they
returned from their visit to the elephant.
| arrived in Florida in October; made
number of trips to different parts OF the
State to decide where [ thought | would
be best suited, and January LIST found
myself located, in what seems to me, the
most pleasant, attractive, healthful and
desirable section of the State. | came
to stay summers as we'll as winters, to
make for myself an all-the- year-rOund
home. The place is partially improved,
and am endeay oring to make it more
like an ideal home; but that will be the
work OF years, and then much will remain
to be done to make it develop all of it's
possibilities. To this end | determined to
work with brain as well as muscle, and
desiring to keep well upwith all the latest
ideas in agriculture and horticulture, |
subscribed for the county papers that |
might keep myself posted on what is being
done in my vicinity, and for the several
agricultural papers OF the State, that l
might secure every idea possible with re-
gard to what can be grown here, the best
modes of cultivation, etc. | also con-
.tinued my subscriptions to several OF the
best papers and mag azines published in

| many new ideas that will be useful and can
also do some eight hours of physical labor
morning and afternoon.
Having heard and read much about
ebay gardens and muck land" for grow
ing vegetables, and having seen several
excellent gardens on that class of lands,
determined to approximate as nearly as
possible to the muck ideal. had no con-
vepient "bay-head" near my residence
that could be drained readily, but there
was a mucky pond not forty rods away
that could be partially drained, making
the edge available, and that would be
much like the Englishman's beer, 'alf and
'alf-part sandy, part mdcky. A heavy
belt of saw palmetto surrounded the
pond outside of high-water mark, and ]
went to work grubbing in earnest and
also to cutting down the adjacent pine
trees that were near enough to shade. 1t
was slow work, as the palmetto trunks
were from six to ten feet long, growing in
every direction, overlapping each other
two, three and sometimes four deep, and
held fast by many cOrdy roots that ran
perpendicularly several feet into the
ground. Every one had to be cut off
with the heavy grub hoe before the trunk
would bulge.
| also had to give attention to my
grove, set out more trees, make and re-
pair fences, and devote my time to so
many other things soon found [ should
not be able to get much Of spring gar
den in shape on the new ground. [ there
fore put a woven wire fence around por-
ton of the young grove on level land, fer
| tilted it with cotton seed meal, scrapings
of the poultry house, ETC., and dug it up
| with a spade, as do not believe that
pillow has any business in a garden. [
| then leveled it with a steel rake and ap-
piled a liberal amount of potash, bone
meal and ashes, sayat therat1 of about one
ton to the acre, raking it in. The middle
; of February, about two weeks after fertil-
| izing, planted a variety of vegetables
about the sameI had been accustomed to
plant at the North the middle of May.
AS the severe drOuth was unbroken, |
wheeled water on a wheelbarrow and CO.
piously watered the drills, the hills and
the places where the plants were to be
set. Ibid this work thoroughly. Then [
soWed the seed, covering them little
deeper than at the North, as the soil was
quite light, being the usual high pine
land, and tread them down as compactly
as possible with my feet. Over the rows
with the finer seeds l laid three inch
board and compacted the ground by
walking on the board.
The seeds came up beautifully, except
the parsnips, and gave them a good
| deal of Misunderstanding, hoeing and
| now and then giving them few ashes
| and little liquid manure by way OF en-
couragement. Then came the first freeze
March 3d-but it did but little damage,
as had anticipated it and protected the
tender plants with grain and fertilizer
sacks raised few inches above the plants
on sticks, and some by a covering of oak
leaves raked upin the woods. 1continued
my care of the plants as before, and the
second freeze came March 18th. This did
more damage, as | did not expecta severe

worse. Then those namatoid worms, the
angulula, got in their work and / havenot
had the expected amount of produce from
this garden. Had l had good force
pump and a revolving fountain on tri-
pod SO that could have moved it about
the garden and kept things thoroughly
watered, the results,w would no doubt have
been muck more satisfactory. Evidently
facilities for abundant watering are indis-
pensable to the production of satisfactory
gardens-a fact not be neglected.
From the middle to the last of Febru-
airy planted several hundred hills of cas-
sava. A portion of it was up at the time
of the freezes. The tops were killed, but
each time it sprouted again and has
grown fully as we'll, if not better, than
that which was planted later. Hence [
conclude that the earlier cassava is
planted after the winter is over and the
ground begins to get warm the better
say from the 25th of January to the 18th
of February between ATTITUDES 27o and
29o. The ground was notfertilized before
planting, but after the plants were about
six inches high gave them a thorough
hoeing, putting in q circle around each
hole about half pint of cotton seed meal
and gill each of bone meal
and potash. intending when the rainy sea-
son set in to give liberal application OF
cotton seed meal broadcast, but failed to
do SO. planted by cutting the seed into
pieces three or four inches long, made a
hole in the ground with a sharp pointed
stick and crowded the seed down about
an inch below the surface, firming the
ground with my foot. l hOed them sew
eral times. / dug into an ordinary hill
this week, and the four or five tubers [
cut off weighed little over six pounds.
They ought to be of good size by Novem-
Der. One good thing about cassava is
that it will keep in the ground until you
want it and grows the larger part OF the
year. am fairly well satisfied with the
prospects OF this crop.
Work of various kinds was so pressing
and the season advanced SO rapidly that
| concluded to defer draining the pond
until later in the season, and cleared
some high pine land nearer the house that
was covered with oak runners and an Oc-
casional palmetto. had never planted
any COW peas, so adopted my Northern
mode of planting English peas. Ispaded
up the ground and leveled it off nicely
then [ dug a furrow three inches wide and
three inches deep about thirty feet long
and scattered the peas in quite thickly
after having thoroughly saturated the
trench with water l scattered little
dirt on them, then walked up and down
on it, making the ground as compact as
possible; then filed in the dirt loosely,
gently smoothing it with the hoe. In
about week the peas we're up and they
looked about as thick as the hair on a
dogs back. In fact, they rather surprised
me. The neighbors who saw them told
me to dig out at least three-fourths OF
them if l hoped to get any peas. | did
not do it, thinking would see what the
.pesky things would do. kept them well
watered, fortified quite literally with SUI
perphosphate, hoeing it two or three times
