our Jonathan in quality and color, and
larger in size, and a great improvement
in the hardness of the tree.
The want of definite information as to
hybrid or cross bred offspring of plants
is very great. AS we trust the hybridist,
we must insist on his being trust
worthy and skillful operator before we
place confidence in his records. For
example, the flowers must be carefully
emasculated before there is a shadow of
chance that pollen can have escaped
from the anthers. The female flower
must then be carefully covered with a
paper sack, and in about twenty-four
hours, the pollen of the intended male
parent (after having been prepared) must
be applied with clean cancels hair
pencil and the sack carefully replaced
and carefully fastened with fine wire to
prevent insects from entering the
sack.
To prepare the pollen, just before the
flower opens, extract the anthers and
place them in sealed enveloke Ind
allow to rlpen in warm room from
twenty-four to thirty-slx hours; the
pollen may be kept several days even
weeks. In about two weeks the sacks
may he removed and covered with sacks
made of netting to protect the apple.
Then carefully label the varieties. and
plant the seeds in the fall, or early
spring. Care for the young tree, and in

All Coming Back.

1t is somewhat amusing to read in our
State exchanges the past week of the re-
turn of many to Florida who left in the
early part of the car disguised and dis
satisfied with the State. No less than q
dozen families moved back last week to
live and die at the old home. Some
wandered into California, and others
into the Dakota and elsewhere, bat
they failed to fLd home as suitable as
the one they lett. Florida, with all her
faults, is more loved by the pilgrims
now than ever before. They have seen
what people elsewhere had to endure and
knew if they located in the same land
they would, too, have to suffer likewise.
Florida will do her part if man will his.
There is always chance for good COM
Portable living here if.nothing more, and
none, perhaps, know it better now than
those who went away after the freeze of
last winter and are now quietly stealing
back. Perfection and contentment are
not to be found in this life, and he who
journeys in the hope of finding either
will die weary and foot! ore in the search.

without any hep, on ground that does
not need fertilizing. If any fertilizing
s.required-andt the ordinary or average
lands of Polk do not-then there should
be knowledge of what the soil needs to
make tobacco with,the needful burning
qualities, or the toughness needed for
plug. Potash is the principal need for
burning qualities, and blood and bone
for chewing tobacco"

None to Compare With Them.

The Fruit Trade Journal recently had
q number of letters from which we ex-
tract the following to show how Florida
oranges are missed:
Buffalo correspondence: cit is a good
many years since we have seen so few
oranges in Buffalo during Thanksgiving
week as we have this week. Only few
firms here have Jamaicas, and no house
mas over fifty boxes. They are bringing
from 81 to $3.50 per box and So per bar
rel. Next month we will receive plenty
from Mexico and California, no doubt;
so we will do some business in oranges
during the holidays. But Buffalo does
miss the good old reliable Floridas.
How is it with the rest of the boys? Do
you find anything to take the place of
Florldas?"
Cleveland correspondence: "Dealers
have begun to realize what it is to be
without Florida oranges, as the recent
advance on Jamaicas has opened the
eyes of some of our heavy buyers, and
they will await the return of the luscious
Florida article few years hence with
considerable anxiety"
Savannah correspondence: with the
very few offerings in oranges there
should be chance for some body to
place some early shipments here. Just
enough Floridas on the market to re-
mind us of their scarcity"

Experience With Tobacco.

Judge G.. A. Hanson ,ex-circult Judge
writes as following to the Tampa Times:
Judge G.. A. Hanson, of this city, is
something of a farmer as we'll as good
lawyer. Ia the last issue of the Barlow
Courier Informant he gives his expert
ence with tobacco culture in Polk
county, which Will prove of some value
to those interested in the subject He
says:
''On the subject of tobacco growing it
seems that your people forget that in
1889 I planted nearly five acres and
made about 1850 pounds of leaf. l
made three crops, but had no one to
cure it for me, and felt that it was not
legitimate business, as it was purely
an indulgence of bad habit that was
encouraging, and therefore I quit it..
But demonstrated that in no section of
the State or the United States could
such success be attained in it's culture.
I sold nearly all of it for Is cents
a pound and gave away-and people
took away-a large quantity of it after it
was priced in hogs-heads after the style
of Tennessee growers.
'"There is one thing you can help
your people in, and that is by warning
them that they must have plenty
of plants, as they can only set
out after heavy rain. and they
come but seldom, after the 18th OF
February, until it is too late and too hot
to set.
"Cold does not hurt the young plant
when first set near as much as it does
the large plant. Hence would set at
any time after the 18th of January when
the season was favorable.
Another thing is to leave the ground
as firm as ossible, by shallow culture,
or by heavy rolling, when it Is prepared.
1.-The getting of stand is about the only
difficulty in making a crop of tobacco.
The cultivation should be shallow, clean,
and mostly with the hoe or harrow.
Never pillow Florida soil deep as growers
in other soils do.

and we have been taught that this is
natures plan to propagate the species in

in horticulture but in all science. You

life is too short and time too valuable to
brood over disappointment or some

much in planting seeds with view to
improve the fruit, and yet it may be
done. We know that in-aDd-in breed .ng

We may plant apple seeds aud grow
trees that will produce apples which
contain seeds that we may plant to grow
more trees to produce more fruit, and
continue to progress for ages and the
chances are that each generation will
degenerate and be less desirable, for we
are following the system of in-and-in-
breeding, which is contrary TO the teach
lngs of the Bible and educated circles in
all nations. We know that scientific
men are doing a wonderful work in the
animal kingdom. Compare the we'll
formed Shorthorn of to-day with one
that ranked equally with one fifty years
ago, or the model dairy cow of to-day
with one fifty years ago, or the model
porker of 10 day with the prairie rooter
Of the last century. Mark the progress
OF civilization in the last century, and
then talk about the good old days of
our fathers.
What has been done in the animal
kingdom can be done in the vegetable
kingdom. Time will not permit me to
60 into detail, so we will consider the
apple, and the same principle will
prove true in all plant life. For the
sake of argument we will take the
Duchess as the standard of hardness.
We know the fruit for culinary purposes
ranks very high, the tree for hardness
is model, it's roots extend deep into the
earth after moisture and it's leaf is
perfect In the Duchess we find about
as many good qualities as any one of our
hardy varieties, but we believe the fruit of
the Duchess can be improved by crossing
it with some of our American apples of
high quality, and the hardness of the
tree maintained. Bat We have plenty
OF good summer and fall apples, so we
should turn our attention to the produc-
ton of winter apples of good quality and
hardness of trees.
We all have our hobbies. What l
