And lost in admiration
Ipraised her lovely gown, which was
A most superb creation.
A triumph Of the modiste's art,
That costume closely fitting;
Her pride revealed itself in smiles
That DER her face were fitting.
Then suddenly asked of her
(Not thinking of the shock it
Would give the darling, tender girD,

The joyous smile fled from her lips
And left them white behind it,
AS, with strong, determined look,
She made dive to find it.
Her arm shot out, her back curved in
In wonderful contortion.
She struggled so, begged of her
To please proceed with caution.

And just q glimpse of stocking.

That wrenched it from its socket;
Yet through the pain, in triumph, she
Declared she'd found her pocket.

An Average Man.

A realistic story
Without any gush or glory,
With no sentimental llmelight
And no firework display,
Bout poor old ignoramus
Who was never rich nor famous,
And who couldn't ignite the river,
And who worked out by the day.
A very common Teller
Was this Ebenezer Weller,
With the usual share of virtues
And with vices two or three;
He'd no fatal gift Of beauty,
But an average sense Of duty,
Neither very good nor evil
Just about like you and me.
And he wed an average woman,
Very nice and very human,
Just about like Ebenezer,
Neither very good nor bad;
Oft in harmony they'd MARBLE,
Often they would scold and squabbls,
But they loved each other dearly,
And they couldn't continue mad.
Never had enough on Monday
To supply the house till Sunday,
Never made enough In April
TO support themselves in May:
II they worked hard in November,
They must work hard in December,
And the coarse bread Of tomorrow
Was the hard work Of today.
They worked on, grew gray and grayer,
Yet they never made him mayor,
And she plucked no social honors,
And his wages still were small;
Then the load of years grew weighty,
And they died when they were eighty,
And they put them in the graveyard,
And they left them there. That's all.
A realistic story,
Without any gush or glory,
Yet this follow Ebenezer
Represents the human clan;
His the average share Of pleasure,
His the average lack of leisure,
His the average joy and sorrow
or the common average man.

time when it is almost fully ripe. To

this uakes vast difference between the
taste of bananas bought in Northern
markets and those cut in Florida, ripe
from the tree. When quite young the
fruit is angular, and has sort of three
cornered shape, but as soon as it. begins
to get round, the head is cut. One
planter on Indian river last year cut AID
sold 81, 900 worth of fruit, without going
outside of his own dooryard; and the
cultivation cost him less than $50.
In the Central American Republics
the cultivation of the fruit is, chiefly,
by the following methods:
In preparing plantation, the trees
and bushes are cut down and allowed to
lie where they fall until dry enough to
burn; fire is then started, burning the
leaves, twigs and branches Then the
sprouts or suckers of the banana, are Set
in shallow. II placed at the uniform
distance of fifteen feet apart, there Will
be two hundred and twenty-five plants
to the acre. Nearly all of these WILL in
eight or ten months after planting, ma
ture bunch of fruit worth from 374 to
rs cents each. Meantime a number IF
young suckers will have sprung up from
the parent stalk. AS they appear, they
are cut down until about the third
month after planting; then one Of these
young plants is allowed to live, and three
months later another, and so on.
Thus, at intervals of three months
new plants are suffered to live, to take
the place of those that have borne fruit
and have been cut down. Managed In
this way, there are always, after the
first three months from growing, stalks
in each "stool," or rather from each
plant. Those new roots or suckers, grow
on, year after year. There are many
fields of bananas which have borne for
hundreds of years without planting.
This prolific growth does not attain to
anything like the same degree even
in the most fertile sections of Florida
most favorable to their growth. 1t is a
matter of soil and climate.
Too much cannot be said of this right
royal fruit. No knife is needed in GET
ting it ready for eating. It's soft, golden
skin is ready at a moments notice to
part from the fragrant mept; it comes
away without an effort. leaving no stain,
and the most fastidious lady needs no
handkerchief in eating banana, for it

fruit.
In the southern end of the Florida g
peninsula, as stated above. they grow
and ripen at all times of the year, and
are eaten by all classes of human beings.
They are said to be absolutely the only
vegetable product known that will. un-
assisted, sustain life.
Having considered the culture and its
expense in Florida, glance may now

Indeed the culture of the banana, as is
well known, is universal throughout the
tropical world, and in many places ex-
tends far outside of the tropics, as in the
United States and Southern Europe.
In the Gulf States the banana is met
with from southern Texas to South Car
DINA, being cultivated only for it's grand
eur as an ornamental plant. In Florida
it's culture for profit is carried on in a
large section of the State, with greater
once carried on as far north as Palatka,
In Putnam county, has within the past
three or four years, ceased to be car
ried on to any considerable extent, On
account of the increasing severity Of
the cold in winter, caused by the de
structon of large forests ia the Missis
sippi valley.
The plant f1ourishes and fruits best in
very moist, rich soil, but will not en-
dure standing water above the roots.
They may be cultivated, however, on
high, dry land of aim st any description,
though with less success. In this State
the best possible location for banana
patch, is on the banks sloping down to
pond, lake or Ebay head" The
spungy nature of the soil in such To-
cation agrees perfectly with the roots,
provided they are not planted far
enough down to be in standing water.
Methods of cultivation are as diverse
as in any other branch of horticulture or
pomologv, some being in favor of deep,
continuous mulching; others with Guilt
walton like corn. Still others set the
plant in hole two feet deep, when do
ing the original planting. Location and
soil, however, account in a great degree
for these differences in mode of cul-
tivation, different soils requiring diff
ferent treatment The growers of the
lower keys" along the extreme south
ern coast, produce fine results with no
cultivation whatever, except an occa
sional piling of weeds around the PLANTS.
Excellent results usually follow heavy
and often renewed mulching.
The following examples of expert
ments and their success IN different
portions of Florida, are given to show
that banana culture, properly conducted,
is almost sure to pay well, wherever
engaged in-in the proper latitude.
We first take farm near Sanford, in
north latitude very nearly 30. Some
eight years ago or more, the spot was
selected, and the. results here given are
for a period embracing the first four
years of the undertaking. Since then
no accurate data of proceeds has been
kept, and the culture has been neglected
probably in order to devote more time
to pineapple culture, a fever for which
ragged in this vicinity about that time
This soil selected, one-third of an acre
only, was pure, black muck, reaching to
an unknown depth, covered in part by
water from fifteen to thirty inches in
depth. A thorough system of drainage,
made it suitable for the purpose. The
variety, set out four feet apart each way,
was the Dwarf Cavend1sh. with a pine
apple set in the center of each square.
The first crop of bananas matured the
second year from planting, but it was

Banana Culture in Florida.

well founded, that the banana cannot
be successfully raised in this State,
above the 28th parable
There is one plantation, however, that
may be cited as the exception that
proves the rule-located about the 30th,
on the peninsula that lies between the
Indian river and the Atlantic ocean, and
not very many miles to the westward of
the Gulf Stream, that beneficent in
f1uence that protects the east coast of
Florida from the blast of the frost king.
This Indian river narrows is perhaps
the best protected region of the east
coast Of Florida-hedged in by islands,
watered by underground springs, and
low, moist, and well grown with thick,
tropical jungle. Banana plants are cut
off from unfavorable winds, and grow
rankly in the black, heavy soil and loan
deposit. The plantation consists of a
long, narrow strip of land, originally
hammock, cleared and planted nine
years ago. The heavy growth of oak
and paine tto trees on it was cut and
piled up in windows thirty feet apart,
and then left to rot down, after which
the leavings we're scattered over the
ground. The plants were put eight feet
apart, but it has been found by the
planter that considering the way they
spread, and the nutriment drawn from
the soil, they should be At least ten feet
apart. Nothing better has been found
for this plantation in the way of fertili-
ger, than bright cotton seed meal. Bone
meal will not do, for the banana, being
rapidly growing plant, needs a quick
stimulant, though the effect may be
soon over, and frequent renewals re-
quired. This plantation, as stated
above, is further north than any in Flor
ida, and is successful simply by reason
of its unique location In the ''narrows. "
Across the river, in the same latitude,
the plants would not reach maturity.
The scope of this article is to consider
banana culture IN general, as conducted
and proposed on the southeast coast of
Florida, south of the 28th parallel, as
we'll as curs0ry mention of methods of
tropical countries beyond our own
shores-methods that could most GER
tainly be adopted here with profit, as
has been proven by the few who have ex-
Probably no one of the fruits classed
as tropical, is cultivated over a quarter
the extent of territory in the gulf states,
than the banana. The reason for this
is apparent. First. The steady growth
of the demand for bananas in the United
States has caused keen competition
among buyers; and as the increase in
production has not kept pace with the
growth of consumption, prices have ad-
vanced enormously, and the compare
lively few people scattered about over
this territory who are aware of this con-
dition, are devoting their attention to
culture as money making business
The second reason is, the plant is of
easy culture, and if killed TO the ground
by a severe freeze, new aud strong suck
ers soon appear from the roots, and in
some cases will fruit the same year. 1t
is found cultivated, therefore, in many
