Later on, Mr.. Berckmans says: "In
point of quality the California peach, as
shipped here, is often delusion and a
fraud, but It's bright appearance, and
the attractive manner in which it is
offered for sale, takes the eye and the
buyers money"
We are all familiar with the attractive
appearance and perfect packing of the
California fruit.
It should teach us very much; and
one fact let us mphasize-three- fourths
of her oranges that we see are navels-a
thick-skinned, beefy orange which car
ries. We can do better in Florida as to
quality; and there is no reason why we
can not do as we'll IN grading and pack

they would be under a mound, tits un-
likely that fungi would find a So tisfac
tory home.
Some will say right here that they
thought burying the trunks of trees and
covering the surface roots with earth
was destructive to health. Burying by
itself is not the reason TIRE rs die when
earth is piled over them to IA consider
BILE depth, but from the fact that the
young growing roots do not get air.
These young, growing roots are almost
all at the extremities, and the mound
of earth around the trunk would not, in
the slightest degree injure these outer
roots.
Whenever a valued tree is somewhat
buried, it is customary to leave space
around the trunk, perhaps building a
dry wall, in order to keep the earth from
setting near the trunk; but this is not
that the earth is injurious, but to give a
chance for the water to flow freely down
into the soil, and the flow Of water al
ways leads to flow of air following the
water.
The apple borer and the peach borer
have been kept out of trees by making a
mound of earth around the trunks

CALIFORNIA FRUIT.

The New York Times criticism of
California peaches is quite harsh. 1t
says:
"But with respect TO peaches, the Cal
lfornia fruit-makers have not yet passed
the initial stage Of their expert menta
ton. They make tolerable imitation
of peach, such as is also made by
workers in wax. But it is Dead Sea
fruit, that tempts the eye but turns 10
ashes on the lips. The late Matthew
Arnold complained that he could not
get an American pc tch that would COM
pare in flavor with an English hot house
peach II is probable that some wag or
dupe had been trying California peaches
on him. 1t is certain that he oud not
have had in this country such PEACHES
as may now be had IN this itI; for he
was a Just man, though somewhat
stiff1Y starched."
What is true of California peaches is
true of all other fruit in the Sunset
state. AS far as appearances go, it is
the finest in the world, but when it
comes to the actual proof of excellence
the eating California fruit is not IN it.
We have braced ourselves for grand
denial by our California contemporaries,
and we will really be disappointed if it
does not come. We will stand by our
statement, however.

LYMAN PHELPS.
Killing Up Fruit Trees.

Orange growers who cut their frozen
trees level with the ground last spring,
and who next winter, will have groves
of tender sprouts to worry about, may
insure the preservation of the most val
liable portion of the sprouts by killing
them up with earth, which may be
drawn to them from the middles or
carted in from another locality. When
the latter method is practiced, the earth
should be carted away in the spring, in
most cases, for there is nothing more in
furious to orange trees than to have
their roots too deeply buried.
A grove placed IN this share in winter
would resemble western peach orchard,
which we find thus described in an ex-
change:
Some years ago a gentleman residing
near Cincinnati created sensation by
what he regarded new method of keep
ing peach trees healthy. All that he did
was to pile up earth about the trees, the
mound reaching up to the branches. 1t
took several carloads of earth to make
these mounds, and the tile orchard had
the appearance of bushes growing out of
the top of the cone of earth. Every one
used to look on and laugh at the thought
of burying up the trunk of a tree in
order to make it healthy, but there were
the trees, and undoubtedly models of
health. Those who saw simply stated
their belief that it was only a coinCi-
dence, and that the trees would proba-
bly, have been as healthy without the
mound of earth as with it.
Since, 1t has come to be well-recog-
nized that many diseases of plants, not
merely of the peach tree, but of other
trees, are caused by the mycelium of
minute fungus attacking the roots, it is
not at all unlikely that this monnd of
earth operated beneficially by prevent
ing the growth of the fungus which

ing the past few days, l find no stu1nps
whose roots are de ad. There is a dis
ttnctuly drawn dead line, and the green
wood is swelling, even where no shoots
have started; and the callusing lips, next
to the dead line, tell that there is still
vitality to assert itself and peep above
the ground. Wait, and think we'll. and

The State Horticultural Society is pub
fishing a full list of them, with complete
descriptions. Send your dollar to Mr..
Manville and get that list, which will be
out at an early day, with the proceed

Every fruit grower needs the report.
There is much work yet to be done in
horticulture in Florida. [ believe we
shall grow plums successfully here,
which we can put IN the market in ad-
vance of any other state. This year on
a neighbours tree there were fully seven
bushels of elegant Kelseys, and [ do not
give up that thousands of other Kelsey
trees will, in coming seasons, bear as
well. Bushels of plum pits will be
planted this season for experiment, and
such progressive workers as G.. l.. Taber
will some time be able to tell us how to
grow and what to grow in plums as well
as he has in peaches.
The kaki, too, is susceptible of improve
ment, and comes into heavy fruiting as
early as peaches. Plant seeds of your
best fruits, and expect, in some cases,
to get better and finer fruit. Do not be
content to yield, but keep on and con-
ouer. The best kaki l have seen are
seedlings from the kaki. They are beau
tiful trees, more vigorous than present
varieties, with new type of leaves.
We have much to learn about ship
ping. I am glad some of our growers
have gone North, and are in the COM
mission business, to learn that end. A
prominent orange grower wrote me, I'M
der date of August 4, Cali you say about
packing fruit anu selecting is true to
the letter. The amount of imperfect
fruit sent to this m arket, that returns
the shipper nothing, one would hardly
believe, unless they could see it. 1t is
the very trouble [ am having with the
shippers in Oregon and Washington who
wished me to handle their fruit

poorly packed and badly sorted, COM
blnation which is of no benefit to the
shipper. It is equally bad for me, as the
commission on Car of fruit at $500 is
much less than on one at $500. -Four
carloads of cherries were sacrificed for
S., 900 that should have brought $40, 900,
and it was the fault Of the shipper.

value to me when the time comes for
me to again ship oranges"
