is desired that two crops should be raised

of these conditions are apt to be lacking

are, plenty OF fertilizer, plenty OF cultiva
ton and plenty OF water. Unless these
conditions can be governed, it is better
to divide the land and give farm crops

but the natural fertility OF the soil.

The Glove Tree.
Palm Springs, Fla.

The English name Glove is said to be
derived from the Spanish Clavo, ard the
French clOn--the names of the spice in
these languages-from the resemblance
which the dried buds bear to nails.
A popularity OF the Glove tree is that
every part is aromatic, but the greatest
strength is found in the bud, which is the
''clove" OF commerce. The finest quality
OF cloves are dark brown in color with
full, perfect heads, free from moisture.
Ia the cultivation of the Glove, the first
thing to be done is the starting of the
shoot. The seeds are planted in long
trenches and kept we'll watered until
after sprOuting. In the course of forty
days the shoot appears above ground.
They are carefully watered and looked
after Tor the space OF two years, when
they should be about three feet high.
They are then transplanted, being set
about thirty feet apart, and are kept
we'll watered till they become wellrooted.
From this time the young trees require
only ordinary care, though the best re-
suits are obtained when the ground about
the trees is we'll worked over and kent
free from weeds.
The growth ofthe tree is very slow. and
five Or six years are required for it to
come into bearing, at which time it is
about the size of an ordinary pear tree
and is usually very shapelV. IT ia q nrottv

In your last issue your correspondent
from Orlando writes about keeping off

Pear Blight.

Florida pear growers will doubtlessly
be interested in the following chapter of
the blight.
A CORE spondent of the Ohio Farmer,
writing about pear blight, says that a
fine ten-year- old orchard belonging to
him was nearly ruined in single year by
this disease.
He says: CATER losing many trees from
this cause discovered that the ravages
of the blight were confined almost exclu-
siyely to the orchard under cultivation,
while the trees that had grown in sod for
years were entirely exempt. This discov-
cry led me to believe that there must be
some association between the cultivation
of the trees and t. e blight. After care
full trial and much investigation | have
reached the conclusion that the cultiva-
ton of the trees stimulates rank
growth of new wood which furnishes an
inviting field for the propagation of the
fungus. This immature growth Of new
wood is peculiarly susceptible to the de-
velopment OF the fungus which attacks
the trees during moist, sultry weather in
summer; but it's deadly work is not mani
fest until the summer following when the
blighted leaves and black branches ap-
pear. If manure has been applied to the
orchard under cultivation, the blight is
intensified and the result most fatal.
With this discovery [ have ceased to
cultivate my pear trees and the good re-
suits have been marked, for with but an
occasional blighted limb, which is
promptly removed and burned, my trees
have almost escaped the dreaded scOurge.
Last winter while travelling over the State
in institute work my attention was called
to large pear orchard on the ridge be-
tween Greenville and LithOpOlis, in Fair
field County, that will furnish another
example of the value of growing pear
trees liz sod. This orchard, understood,
had not been under cultivation for years.
The trees are sod-bound, but quite vigOr-

Starting the Orchard.

We clip from the annual catalogue Of
the Glen st. Mary Nurseries, the follow
ing advice in reference to fertilizing and
cultivating young trees:
FERTILIzING.
Remember that what you want from
q tree the first year is growth, and,
while little bone meal or compost can
be advantageously applied when setting
the tree, the most OF the fertilizing should
be done after the tree has become we'll
fixed in the ground and the growth COM
menced. Nothing will give such quick
results in the way Of fertiliZing as some
OF the well-tested commercial fertilizers,
which are rich in ammonia and phos-
phOrlc acid. Any well known and thor
oughly tested, so-called "complete" fer
tiliZer will promote an early and vigor
Gus tree growth. A pound of this to the
tree evenly scattered over the surface Of
the ground for distance of three feet
from the stem in every direction and
raked in we'll, will soon be recognized by
the tree. In fact, if all trees received a
sufficient quantity at the right time,
there would be comparatively few that
would not give satisfactory results. The
first application to these neWly-set trees
having been made, say in March, a Sec
July would prove advantageous, and
with good cultivation will transform me-
dunn sized nursery trees of peaches,
plums and other early bearing species Of
fruit trees, into a bearing size and con-
dition by the end of the first season,
after which time fertilizers containing
larger per cent. OF potash should be used
in making subse quent applications. All
kinds OF trees are greatly benefited by the
use of bone meal, ashes and cotton seed
meal. Remember, however, that ifcOtton
seed or cotton seed meal is used, that it
has to undergo a rotting process in the
ground before becoming available as
plant food, and that it should never be
placed in direct contact with the roots.
Well rooted manure and composts are
always good for fruit trees, and should
be plOwed in shallow and then covered
with mulching.
CULTIVATION,
For all young orchards we recommend
frequent and clean cultivation up to mid
summer, combined with the system of fer
tilizing above recommended. After July
18th, we would cease cultivation, and
either SOW the land down to cow peas or
let it grow up to crab grass; if there are
peach trees in the orchard we would not
recommend COW peas on account of the
added liability of root knot. Let the
crop OF grass or COW peas grow the re-
mainder of the season and die on the
ground, and pillow them in late in the
winter; this will give additional fertility
to the soil, and also serve a good pur-
