Citrus Fruits Of the Gulf Coast.

delivered at Worlds Fair Horticultural Con-
gress, August 3, 1881
The citrus are the most highly organ
lied fruits that have come under my OBJ
servation, and as a preliminary | will
make a few remarks on the origin of the
commercial varieties. The citrus be-
long botanically to the Rutac@-a family
whose leaves are characterized by having
small transparent glands filed with sub
stances Of an oily, aromatic character.
In the citrus the secretions Of these
glands, sweet, acid, rcsinous or bitter,
more or less blended, are held in SuS-
pension by ethereal oils Of the turpentine
group and these wild fruits are uned-
IDLE.
The sweet principle is represented by
the citron Of commerce, but it's highest
commercial types are the sweet navel
oranges, of which the Washington Navel
is type. The best known wild type is
the fingered citrOn of China in which
he segmcnts are separate like fingers and
are covered Scl)d1 dUCIN W VIC I}Ccl IltdIIS
to the core, which uniteS them. 1t is not
edible and is priced for its sweet odor.
The sweet principle of the citron is the
leaven that has made the other wild
species edible
The acid principle is represented in
the wild state by the wild lines of Cey-
Ion, whose juice is so sharp and acrid
that the natives use it as wash to kill
leeches, and some Of these lines have the
reputation of being so corrosive that
needles stuck in them in a short time
dissolve. Their hybrds with the citron
have been along two lines. In Ole they
have taken the citrOn form but retained
the acid juice, refined and purified, as
lemons In the other case the round
shape Of the wild lime is retained but
the juice has been greatly sweetened and

of alkaline bases would not be apparent
and in some Of the hammocks, rich in
organic matter, for few years Of crop
ping this is the case-the nitrogen being
principally absorbed as carbonate of am.
monia, the fruit showing much smaller
percentage of ash elements than that
grown with commercial fertilizers. The
structure of the fruit, however, deterio-
rates, as is shown by the tender and
creased peel and easily ruptured pulp,
such fruit being poor carriers. These
soils are greatly benefited by applications
of pOtash-the IS to 50 per cent. sui
phate of potash giving best results where
fine flavor Of fruit is desired, but small
percentages Of chemical nitrogen and
phosphOric acid, the latter preferably in
available forms, usually give renumera-
tive results in connection with the pot
ash. Phosphoric acid, however, is shown
to be less needed than nitrogen and pot
ash, the need Of potash being as a base
four to ten, about the proportion Of nj
trate of potash, gives the best results,
Excess Of potash Of the requirement for
nitrates is detriment to the sWeetening
of the fruit, as after the alkalieS have
served their purpose as bases for the nj
trates they become superfuOuS elements
and are practically cxcreted or encysted
in the tissues An excess Of alllalies in
the sap or fruit juices retards this eXcret-
ing process and oranges often from this
cause do not reach their accustomed sweet
ness and flavor. This case Of excess Of
alkalies is different condition, however,
from that of starved fruit, which is raw
force to perfect its juices. AS nitrogen
is the element most necessary for vege-
tative growth, SO also is it's form as food
for the health Of orange trees matter
of serious consideration to growers Of the
citrus. The prevalence Of diseases like
mal-di-gOma or foot rot, die back and
that government experts have for some
time been studying and experimenting
to determines the causes and devise
cures or methods Of prevention. AS a
matter Of observation among intelligent
growers these diseases can often be
traced to excessive or intermittent use
of organic nitrogen, though the sudden
checking or arrangement of the sap by
frost, or drouths and bad drainage, are
also often responsible. In growing an
nual crops the farmer or horticulturist
has not the opportunity for observation
of the effects Of different forms Of nitro
gen in causing plant diseases or produc
ing the conditions that favor the growth
of fungi, though it is in measure being
recognized that nitrate of soda and sui
phatC of ammonia are much safer thai
material like fish or tankagC. The peal
blight in the Southern States is now il
many cases being traced to an excessive
use of cotton seed meal and on seeding
orange trees especially, there is grow
ing recognition of the danger of OVel
feeding with organic nitrogen, for while
farmers speak of these substances a.

The resinOus principle is best illus
trated by the citrus trifoliata. The
juice of this fruit, musky in smell anC
of disagreeable but insipid, acid, resin
GUS flavor, in fully ripe specimens ad

The highest commercial type IS thu

In LimOnia acidiSsima we find the bit

it's highest development the Malta Blood
orange.
Though classed as a berry, yet unlike
pOmace0us fruits, which are develop
mcnt Of the calyX, the citrus are q com

carpet being fruit by itself with it's in
dividual seed and constructive system

from the chlOrophyl captured carbon OF

less oranges this refined essential oil &C
cumulates quite largely in the pulp and
gives them the flavor resembling that OF
wine. which orange growers call chou

It has been long and tedious task to
trace the derivation of the citrus, as
from their compound character, both OF
tissue and oil glands; the oil glands
especially are often found metamOrphOsed
and transformed in form and function
when compared with the shape and
structure of the fruit. A noticeable in
stance is the sweet lemon or lime, which
having all the physical characteristics Of
an acid lemonor lime has not acid bu

he besought her all vainly one evening
When the parlor was cozy and dim
And fiuttering of laces and ribbons
Had almost bewildered him.
He pressed to his lips those sweet fingers
He longed to press them for life
While he knelt at her feet on the carpet
And asked her to be his wife.
"You must get you a higher position
Before my consent can give, De-.
For must have every comfort,
Or else could really not live"
Then arose the young man in grim silence
And found his way out of the door.
She stood at the mirror a moment
And then went to pacing the floor.
Thought she: II fear have vexed him.
He never may come to me more.

What kept her poor darling away.

NO BLANKS IN THIS Co&PET1oN.


This is a competition of rather an I'M
usual nature. 1t is common to offer
prizes for the best story, or picture, or
architectural plan, all the competitors
risking the loss of their labor and the
successful one merely selling his for the
amount of the prize. But the Press
Claims Company's offer is something en-
tirely different. Each person is asked
merely to help himself, and the one who
helps himself to the best advantage is re-
warded for doing it. The prize is only
a stimulus to do something that would
be we'll worth doing without it. The
architect whose competitive plan for a
club house on certain corner is not &C
cepted has spent his labor on something
of very little use to him. But the person
who patented simple and useful device
in the Press Claims Company's cOmpeti-
ton, need not worry if he fail to secure
the prize. He has substantial result to
show for his wOrk-one that will COM
mand its value in the market at any
time.
The plain man who uses any article in
his daily work ought to know better how
to improve it than the mechanical ex-
pert who studies it only from the theo-
retical point of view. Get rid of the
pie to be worth patenting. The simpler
the better. The person who best sue
ceeds in combining simplicity and pop
ularity, will get the Press Claims Com
pany's twenty we hundred dollars.
The responsibility of this company
may be judged from the fact that its
stock is held by about three hundred of
the leading newspapers of the United
States.

MI. OnerMaH was pIoudpiy iiSh'
when he remarked in recent
speech that the Senate would lose
tho respect of sensible business
men, if it continued its present
ettitude of helplessness. Certain
iy there has been among Demo-
cratic Senators no manifestation
of nerve in facing the situation.
They are all men of broad intelli-
yence and commanding influence,
but evidently their instincts OF
pronounced manhood have not
as vet asserted themselves notice
ably. There is timidity, an lr-
resolution, hesitation that shows
the absence Of any man among
them with the gifts of a leader.
The millionaire senators from
mining States are commonly sup
posed to be men of no special
craftsmanship, culture or intellec-
tual superiority of any kind; they
are credited with representing
their so-called States thro ugh the
fact of owing their mines. Yet
these rotten-borough statesmen
representing nobody and nothing
but their own pockets have been
shrewd enough, bold enough and
shifty enough to fail the learning
of their gifted adversaries and
hold their overwhelming majority
at bay up to this time.
The attitude of the Senate
amounts simply to this that one
single member, or at any rate two
members, can prevent that body
from passing any measure what
ever, and for all time. They can
come from O discontented State
and put veto on any Legislation
by Congress. The Lower House
may pass all needful bills, but the
House of Dotards will say to these
two Senators: Talk as long as
you please. Occupy the whole
session if your physical strength
will hold out We have no power
TO stop you; the Senatorial tradi
ton of free discussion prohibits
such thing" This is no exag
geration. We have the proof ant
the examplification before us
just as this miserable minority
has prohibited Legislation on the
repeal bill. it could prohibit &C
ton on any other subject. 1
could prevent all legislation anC
render the whole session nullity
1t is possible that the Constitu
ton contemplates such result
Does common sense justify sucl
conclusion from the right o
free discussion? Does free dis
cussion mean endless discussion
In n word, does deliberation meal
final inaction? The answer to al
of which is plainly: No! Discus
sion contemplates final action
It's purpose is to give wisdom to
conclusion which it is intende,

And no imbecilo old philosophe
