with them until last winter.
will say, however, that | shall never

killing freezes are so frequent that it is
necessary to bury trees to save their
lives, it is not courageous, but simple,
obstinate, foolhardiness to spend time

days and disturbed and sleepless nights.

For the Florida Agriculturist.
Braiding the Shoots.

bTalQlng the SnO0JS.
have heard of late of new idea, to
me at least, relative to treating the
young sprouts, that are 50 numerous
from the roots OF our old orange trees,
aud write for the sake of getting more
light on the subject, if any of the readers
Of the AGR1CuLTURtsT can give it.
1t is, that of budding all, or good
mum Der, of them as near together as
possible, and close to the ground as can
be done, and then when the new buds
are two or more feet long, and yet soft
and flexible, braid or twist them into a
compact bundle, and tie them firmly,
well up to the top, that they will soon
grow into a solid trunk, and by this
means make much larger, and a we'll
braced, strong trunk, for a new tree.
If this is a practical thing-and | see
no reason why it is not-I fancy can
see several advantages to be gained by
it.
First, we retain the whole of the new
growth, for the old root, still vigorous,
instead of compelling it's entire sap to
go to one sprout, and as result, be
obliged to fight the multitude of water
sprouts, that will be cautiously coming
up.
Second, we would get larger, and
stronger trunk, than could be grown in
the same time from one sprout alone,
and it would be we'll braced in every
direction, while one alone would be
easily broken off.
I have learned long ago that two limbs
of an orange tree, that press against each
other firmly, will soon unite or graft
themselves together.
In cutting away the dead wood last
summer, we often found instances of
this kind.
Another question desire to put is,
whether there is likely to be danger of
the work of "wood lice'' from banking
up our young growth around tine old
stump of dead wood? We have all
planned to bank up with sand, 10 to Is
inches high, to protect the young
sprouts from frost, if there should be
any, before they are we'll hardened and
dormant.
We have been alarmed somewhat, by
finding more wood lice at work this fall
than usual, and it has taken vigilant
work in some groves, to stop them.
This comes perhaps from the dead
wood of the old tree. Is there any in
secticide that could be used about the
roots before the banking is done, that
would prevent their working?
| earnestly hope the editor, or any
reader, who can throw light on these two
questions, will do so at the earliest op-
portunity, and greatly oblige
