Pacific surpass in height all their near re-
latives on the surface of the globe, the
same thing can not be said of the decidu-
GUS leaved-trees. AS rule they are not
SO tall as our Eastern deciduous trees.
The tallest Pacific Coast oak would make
apoOr showing when compared with our
loftierl white oaks. So, too, while our
chestnut trees attain in their largest
measure diameter of II feet, and those
OF s feet are not rare, the nearest APP
proach, the pseudo chestnut of the Pa
ciic side, is less than three feet in dame
ter. Our largest walnut trees reach a
diameter of almost ten feet, but nothing
walnut-like gilmore thanfourfeet through
is found on the other side of our CONT
nent.
Recently a famous walnut OF unknown
species has been brought to light on the
banks of the James River in Virginia.
The spread Of it's branches was not less
than 125 feet; it's girth at 6R feet above
the ground was % feet and 8 inches.
This nondescript specimen had the leaves
OF the English walnut and the nut of the
black walnut, though much larger, and
the hard shell was much thicker. 1t has
puzzled and continues to puzzle our
scientists, and bids fair to become among
our trees famous specimen. The
colossal form of I he Northbrook chestnut
is still hale and hearty in Chester county.
1T is feet through, though there are q
lew OF somewhat larger size in the eastern
part of the State, but they have COM
menced to show clearly the signs of age
and lessened vitality.
The lecturer placed clearly on the screen
the Herman Cortez cypress, from Mexico,
under whose branches theSpaniard found
his first rest after the night that he re-
treated with such loss before the infuri-
ated Mexicans. There were bambOos
from Japan, tree ferns from Tasmania,
baobabs from Africa, ceibas from the
West Indies, banyans from India, and the
famous Mount 4Etna chestn nut, which is
without doubt the largest of its kind on
the face of the globe, having a diameter
at base of trunk of 60 feet Large trees,
which have for a century or more been
conspicuous landmarks, come to be from
mere age elements in the history of a
region, and it is none too soon to hegin
measuring and photographing those we
have, that we may transmit to coming
generations some exact idea as to what
the finest specimens of our original forest
growth were like. 1t is quite clear to
those who have studied the facts that
each succeeding generation of big trees is
becoming smaller, and hence those
measured, described and located now will
be regarded in the future as specimens OF
maximum growth. Even those who care
nothing for the living giant will miss it
when it is gone

For THE FLORAL DEPARTMENT.
Information Wanted.

In reply TO MISS Lessons article in the
| Floral Department OF the FLORIDA AGRI-
CULTURIsT of February 10Th, permit me
to say, that the same preparation the
! farmer gives his ground for early vege.
| tables, with a reasonable amount of wa
ter applied, would, in nearly every in
stance, makea success in growing the va
rieties OF flowers she enumerates.
The peculiar conditions OF Southern
climate are the greatest drawbacks to
growing those plants not natives of low
! ATTITUDES.
| The Hibiscus and all varieties of iessa
mines are easily managed, as they seem
at home here. OF course they need fer
| tilizing just as other plants do, in soil
| notnaturally containing all the elements
OF plant growth; and during protracted
drouths they should be watered occa-
sionally
The autumn is one of the best seasons
to set plants, for then the earth has lost
| a great deal Of the heat of summer. Fer
tilize when you plant, and at any other
time when it seems to be needed. Mulch
during hot weather with grass, or any
| other convenience that will protect the
roots from the heated earth above. The
latter seems also to act as fertilizer,
and it's value has not been properly esti-
mated by farmers and foriculturists.
Allflorists recommends highly enriched
sOilf roses. dissemination OF the soil
adhering to the roots of the plants they
send out ought to be an "eye opener to
all who wish to grow them. Some rec
Ommend rOtted sOds as the best forroses.
l have used woods mold, rich dirt from
the COW pen, stables and chicken house.
and all seemed benefit when used in
conjunction with stirring the soil care
fully so as motif wound the roots. Mulch
ing is always beneficial during the sum-
mer months, especially to newly set
plants which are always bettered by such
treatment.
Geraniums like rich soil and partial
shade, with water once week, applied
after the sun has set In fact this would
apply to nearly all varieties of plants.
In case of protracted drouth the water
ing should be done every time the soil
appears entirely without moisture, which
can be easily tested.
The one who finds out how to keep in
sects out of the soil in which geraniums
are ported, will deserve the gratitude of
all it's lovers in South Florida. This
trouble was not known here previous to
the freeze of 1885, Since then it is uni
versal in this section.
The insect is an aphis that lives on the
juices of the plant, and is so small and so
much the color of our dirt, that it is DIFF
ficult to find it unless the box or pot in
which the plant is set, is turned up, when
numbers may be seen running on the
bench. Fresh soil and boxes and repot-
ting fail to stop their depredations, and
in despair [ set mine in the open ground.
Those in rich soil and partial shade did
nicely. Those exposed to the full force of
the sun survived the drouth and heat
in a healthy condition, but produced
little foliage and flowers; but it was a
pleasure to know that they were not in
tested with the hateful aphis.

Muskegon IS enjoying quite a boom
