He had no inkling OF anything until he

He was not kept wondering long, how
ever, for immed lately MIR. McGowan pre-.

He was also presented with a beautiful

The Kendals began a brief engagement
at this house last evening, and the man
ner In which society turned out to wit
ness the delightful presentation OF "rhe
Ironmaster" proves that the appearance
OF this popular organization will be
very int resting theatrical event. No one
who has come under the spell OF Mrs.
Kendal's acting could doubt that she
would be accorded a great welcome In
Rhode Island. She is easily England's
greatest actress and a fascinating lady,
while Mr.. Kendall Is an actor of experience
and effectiveness and an accomplished
comedian. This evening "A Scrap of
Paper" is the bill, at the Saturday matt
nee "rhe Ironmaster" will be repeated

The Aldermen are canvassing the vot-

the Second Ward list and 1t was found
that quite a large number had paid their
personal property taxes since the regular
city election. The name of John Il. Gull

bearing in three to four years. Also the

son of small means wishes he can cul-
tivate pines.
will now give a more detailed account
of my ideas in cultivating pines on tim
bered lands. 1t has been demonstrated
that pines like a little shade as we'll as
protection. Therefore | concluded to
try cultivation under trees in the ham,
mock. | owned piece Of second growth
timbered land on the borders of Lake
Apopka in Lake County. A man named
Garter squatted on fine piece Of land
on the borders of Apopka before the war
some thirty or more years ago, and cleared
up and cultivated nearly seven hundred
acres Of fine hammock. A considerable
portion of this hammock had wild Or
ange trees growing upon it which were
ruthlessly cut down and destroyed as we'll
as thousands of wild grape vines. The
timber composed of live oak, water oak,
white oak, hickory, bay, cherry, cedar,
magnolia and cabbage palmetto as we'll
as the wild orange was all cut down and
burned up to make room for cotton, corn
rice and sugarcane. After the war the
blacks were freed and Garter abandoned
this ground and in time the timber
sprouted up again and some orange
trees which were dug up and carried off
by parties to set out in other places.
This side Of the lake had gotten bad
reputation as to health when this man
Garter lived on the land. The soil is deep
and water could not be found that was
healthy under forty to fifty feet down
except in the bay head or Lake Apopka
and the wafer in Lake ApOpka is hard
water and not healthy to use or drink
without filtering, consequently this fine
region was not settled until all the sur
rounding country was taken up. When
it was settled and wells dug forty to
sixty feet deep pure soft water was OBJ
taincd cool and clear as any place in the
lOUtlUt, UI1Cu Cllc u0dIGn ICCOIu WAS lOuQQ
to be equal to any other place in the
State.
In 1881 [ was fortunate enough to OBJ
tain 13O acres of this old field as it was
called, laying three-fourths of a mile on
the lake. This second growth tim Der is
now from one inch to fourteen inches in
diameter and from thirty to sixty feet
high comprised of all the old varieties of
it's original timber. In sinking wells we
find the soil red sandy loam from thirty,
five to forty feet deep before it changes
then a thin layer Of red or blue clay, then
gravel or white sand, then kaolin then a
gray sand, hard pan and rcd sand stone
how deep the latter is can't say. We
get water in fortyfve to fifty feet plenti-

That New Cherry.

Concerning the new fruit sent us for
which was made in our last issue, Mr.
Orange, of Mannville, writes further,
as follows:
Editor Florida AgricuIturist:
Your favor of 22nd at hand. | had
noticed the ridge you speak Of on the
stone, but have noticed the same on some
cherry stones in the North, especially the
Spanish varieties; but if you noticed
those I sent, you saw that they were per-
fectlv free stone, did not adhere to the
meat as the plum does, this was what
first called my attention to them. The
tree bore heavily last year but | never
paid any attention to them supposing
they were the common hog plum. This
spring the tree looked like white
sheet with bloom, and early in July the
limbs were bent to the ground with the
weight Of fruit. Limbs one-half to one
inch thick appeared as large as mans
arm with the red fruit. | cut off limb
who pronounced them cherries and
breaking them open showed the free
cherry stone. She cooked them and all
pronounced them ahead of the Richmond
and fully up to the Morello in richness.
We have been using them for seven
weeks and have bridged over the two
hottest months with the most pleasant
hot I 1,oI 4oc in,
ida. [ lived for forty years in Southern
Illinois and raised cherries all that time
and have missed them greatly since COM
ing to Florida six years ago; but now
whether this is plum cherry or hybrid
we have a fruit we are not ashamed to
set before our Northern friends, whether
cooked, canned, preserved or made into
Jelly, and believe this fruit will be pop
ular all over our country as it is entirely
free from worms and SO wonderfully pro-
life. This tree, less than five inches in
diameter, produced this year about three
bushels Of fruit, while a MOrello Of that
size would scarcely produce three gallons.
Another point in favor Of this fruit is it's
SOlidity, it might be shipped thousands
of miles and remain firm and yet when
cooked, the skin is SO fine you can scarcely
detect it. VIM L. ORANGE.
We entirely agree with the writer-it
matters not what it is, if it comes up to
his description, it is surely something to
be proud of and fruit worthy Of propa-
cation. One valuable feature about it is,
that it ripens at season when other
fruit is scarce. We hope Mr.. Orange
will propagate it quite extensively and
give his brother horticulturists chance

Pineapples in Timber-W Altering Trees.

For The FLORIDA AGRICULTURIsT.
Pineapplesi in Timber-W Altering Trees
Pineapple culture has become one Of
the principal industries of Florida, and
it is also noted that Florida is the only
place in the United States where the
plant can or has been successfully raised.
In some sections the plants are pro-
tected from the cold by erecting sheds
partially covered to keep off cold in the
winter and the hot sun in the summer
These sheds are expensive and will re-
quire constant repairing. | have been
told by parties who profess to know that
a shed of enough boards will cost about
$400 per acre. Taking this cost into con-
sideration and land at $25 to $50 per acre,
and plants of the finer sorts or varieties
will make the starting in to plant very
expensive Plants cost from fifteen cents
to fifty cents apiece for the finest varle-
ties and 81 each for fancy. 1t is con-
sidercd best that the plants should be
set close together in order that they will
support each other and keep upright
when in fruit. Experiments have dem
onstrated that two feet each way is the
best di- tance to plant. The table shows
that to plant an acre solid two feet each
wav would take 1O,S90 plants which
would cost at Is cents each ST. ,633. 5O.
The cost Of land, and clearing $50 more,
and shed to cover one acre, S4OO, and
setting out, 25 cents per 100, would run
the cost at once to So, 600 per acre. AS
will readily be seen it takes capital to
start pines on a large scale. But it Will
be remembered that in previous commu-
nications written for the AGRIcULTURIST
that have advocated the planting ofpincs
on timbered land in hammOckS without
cutting off the timber 1t will not cost
so much to start pinery If you plant
the red Spanish variety called the Straw
berry, as such plants are more plentiful
in Florida than any other, and can be
boupht at from 3 to 5 cents each and are
considered moro hardy than the larger
foreign varieties, and said to be more
prolific but not near SO valuable. The
Strawberry generally sells, at Wholesale
from to 6 cents pine, while the larger
and fancy pines sell, wholesale, from oo
to rs cents piece, while the cost OF
ground and cultivation is the same. "A
person of small means can start with
few plants on small piece OF ground
and by careful management in few
years have all the plants he can care for
The pine increases very fast If rightly
managed-from one to five suckers or
sprouts can be obtained from each plant
after maturity Good large healthy
suckers set out in the fall will produce
fruit in eighteen months to two years,
also fine crop of suckers. Besides
around each fruit, small slips grow some
times as high as u dozen, which, IL care
fully set cut and raised, will come into
