Oranges Abroad.

Speaking of oranges and lemons in
foreign countries and the methods of
cultivating marketing, ETC., a CORE
spondent of Riverside (Cal,) Press, says;
"Jaffa the Joppa Of the Bible, is IA
nous for its fine qualify of oranges. All
throughout Southern Europe they bring
prices that would be considered high
even in America. To spend day among
it's groves on our way to Jerusalem was
only natural sequence to our previous
enquiries.
The orange groves extend about three
miles outside the city walls, and are es
timated at 5000 acres in all. The indi
vidual orchards are small, from so to 10
acres, the majority being below five acres.
Cultivation is by hand, twice year they
are very thoroughly dug up with grub
bing hoes. The loose soil does not bake,
and as little fertilizer is used, must be
naturally very strong.
''The trees planted 10 to Is feet apart,
are at present in a shocking condition,
being unshaped, full of suckers Of all
ages, many stripped Of their leaves by
severe gale that occurred two weeks be-
fore, the trunks of the old trees covered
with moss, and at least two varieties of
scale. Yet so favorable is the climate
and soil that in the face of this neglect,
good Mandarins, Malta Bloods and Oval
T or j,
and juicy.
''Many trees are dying and being cut
down that should be in their prime.
There is very little new planting Not
more than enough to keep up the present
status. The temperature recorder va
ries from 30 deg. to 10 deg. Fab Irri-
cation is practiced in summer, water
being raised from wells 20 to 40 feet by
mule power, and run in basins around
the tree. All the sweet stock orchards
have died out from mal-di-goma, so that
now bitter stock alone is in use.
''Trees die out here at 30 years and the
natives give less average; but proper
care would make great difference in
that respect. At Beyrout, Sidon, and
Haifa, small groves are scattered about
and the methods employed in caring for
them are similar to those of Jaffa.
While the people Of these countries will
only have bitter stock, yet there is en-
couragement for our sweet orange stock
groves in the fact that the treatment
that trees undergo in these countries is
the cause Of their earthly death and not
the stock There are plenty of sour
stock trees to be seen dead and dying
from SO called mal-di-gOma, but the
water lying at the base of the tree would
suggest drowning. While Riverside Or
chardists adhere to their present method
OF irrigating they are in no great danger.
Picking goes forward from January to

tanning much lime, and are generally
deep and loose.
"The planting is in squares, varying
from ten to twenty feet apart, and at ir-
regular distances on the hill sides. In
the full grown orchards the heads of the
trees form a solid mass, 50 that the sun S
rays cannot penetrate to the ground.
Pruning is from the outside, especially
so with the lemons. That is to say, the
long outside fruit bearing shoots are cut
off so as to throw the head back on itself.
In one large orchard the entire top Of the
trees are cut as level as a floor about
eight feet from the ground, and kept like
trimmed hedge on top. This is to pre-
vent injury from the high winds that
prevail in the winter. The temperature
varies from twenty-five to 105 degrees
Fahrenheit-while the minimum is not
often reached yet great injury has been
done by frost, both to trees and fruit.
Even this year, in which no one is will
ing to admit frost, there is plenty of fruit
unfit to eat.
"Cultivation is by hand. Very little
fertilizing is done, yet the trees are inva-
riably of good color, thanks to the depth
and richnessof the soil. All Of the street
sweepings and barn manure is utilized,
and leather scraps are much priced when
obtainable.
"Water for irrigation is raised mostly by
mule power, stored in tanks and run
into square basins thrown up by hand,
tree being in the center of each basin.
Generally irrigation is only needed from
May to August inclusive.
EOn the old lemon trees at Palermo,
there are at least three varieties Of scale:
Black, red and scale not prevalent in
Southern California. 1t is small, and
shaped like mussel, showing dark and
light brown horizontal rings. 1t is very
beautiful in some orchards, covering the
young growth, leaves and fruit. 1t is
on the increase, doing much injury. No
organized effort is made to control any
of these pests, nor are there any scale
parasites known to the orchardiSts. A
close inspection, aided by a glass, failed
to show any signs. This would be bad
scale for California. as it tlOurishes in
hot weather.
"The curing of lemons as a separ-
ate process does not exist, There is
practically no curing process. The late
shipped lemons are kept on the trees,
which the method Of pruning renders
possible, until May or June, for part of
the crop.
""The means employed to pack and
market the crop may give the best re-
suits, but they do not agree with the gen
eral notions entertained by growers in
Southern California. The fruit is care
fully picked, the details being similar to
those made use of by Mr.. Garcelon.
The Florida agriculturist. [volume] (DeLand, Fla.) 1878-1911, 1893-07-26

April. The fruit is wrapped In tissue
paper, packed in boxes and exported.
Lemons are treated the same as the or
ange, no attempt at holding after the
sweating for few days after picking,
The lemons are in poor quality and not
in much favor. Several hail storms in
the winter, when the fruit is green, do
great damage sometimes causing loss
of the crop The prices this season have
been equal $50 per thousand for the best
oranges, and 81 for lemons in the Or
chard.
"Jaffa is an interesting old town, if
only for it's wickedness 1t has been
razed to the ground number of times
by different conQuerors for its piracies
and persistent defilement. 1t should be
razed once more and plowed up, for it's
inhabitants are just as piratical in their
tendencies to-day as ever. With the
Turks for rulers and the English fleet
patroling the Mediterranean, the Jaffa-
ties are unable to board a ship and cut
the throats Of the crew, but they cut the
pocket book Of the traveller to Jerusalem
with the same roughness that their fore
fathers made use of when they forced
their victims to walk the plank.
''It is to Sicily that we look for EnOwl-
edge of citrus culture. All tradition
points that way. So we draw near to it's
groves with respect, prepared to drink
wisdom at the fountain head. The APP
nrOach either to Messina or Palermo by
sea is very beautiful, and ride along its
rather narrow country roads, bordcrcd
with orange and lemon groves, its many
flowers by the roadside, and roses creep
inc about the walls and villas intcnSifies
the pleasurable sensations caused by it's
beauty.
can examination in detail Of the meth
DDS of culture, the water systems. the
soil, the conditions and the fruit modi-
fies our admiration, for the matters are
not as we expected they would be.
''Palermo is the best point to observe
the Italian method Through the cour-
tesy of Mr. Pugh, the American consul,
the writer was enabled to obtain very
fair idea of the industry as it is now car
ried on. The best lemons exported came
from Palermo, the climate being more
favorable for them than at MesSina or
other parts Of the island. This fact has
lead to many Of the orange orchards
being budded or grated to the lemon
within the last ten years. The records
show that the orange trees were nearly
exterminated between the years 1865
and 1870 by the mal-di-goma, and that
since, the planting has altogether been
of Bigaradia or bitter stock, budded
three feet from the ground either to
sweet oranges or lemon. The verdict all
through Italy is in favor Of the bitter or
sour stock. The soils are strong, con-
