English walnut, are called Juglans Sie-
boldii. This species is found growing
wild in the mountains of northern ia
pan and without doubt is as hardy as
the oak. The leaves are of immense
size, and of charming shade of green.
The nuts, which are produced in ex-
IRENE abundance, grow in clusters of
fifteen or twenty, have shell thicker
than the English walnut, but not as
thick as the black walnut.
The meat is sweet and of the very
best quality, flavor like the butternut
but less OILY and much superior. The
trees grow with great vigor assuming a
very handsome form and need no prun-
ing, mature early, bear young, and are
more regular and productive than the
English walnut. This species is of very
easy culture, accommodates itself to the
soil, and grows rapidly, and easily trans
planted with safety.
In the Japan walnut, of which the bo-
tanical name is Juglans Sieboldi Cordi
fo1mis, we have the strangest nut in ex
istence. The form Of the nut is that of
heart with sharp point at base.
When ripe if thrown into boiling water
and left to boil about five minutes, with
slight blow on the shell the heart
shaped kernel can be extracted as a
whole; rendering it very pretty nuj for
dessert. The flavor is like the butternut,
rich and melting.
Being like the japan chestnut. new
article of commerce, the dem and for the
nuts will be large and very remunerative
and it will pay everyone to plant the
nuts, and have a grove for their own use
and to sell. Plant trees, let them be

Marketing Watermelons.

All the Southern States can grow the
melon in the greatest abundance, and as
very little skill, knowledge or experience
is required, the business is not always
protitab BILE in shipping to distant markets.
The melons are 50 bulky, so large and
heavy, that the cost of transportation
becomes at once the first matter to con-
slider in connection with their cultiva-
ton. ourIocation is also an important
matter. You must be near railroad
station. AS melons will not bear express
charges, you must avail yourself of the
fastest freight accessible.
The first receipts are generally from
Florida, Georgia or Texas, from the 9Th
to the Goth of J une. Texas usually raises
large crop, but rarely appears early
enough in this market to secure early or
high prices. Last season the first Car
was from Florida, getting in the 4th of
June and selling at $35 per 100. A few
days later the weather turned suddenly
cool, spelling the demand, and prices
dropped down to 800 and $50 per 100, &C.
cording to size, quality, etc. BY June
18th we find better prices, $S5 per 100,
light receipts and warmer weather.
Twenty-fifth to the LIST of July. Georgia
is also shipping and prices are Sl5 to
1922.
The Kolb Gem variety embraces a
large portion of the receipts, but it is
quoted separately every day. 1t is a
prime favorite with buyers and sold
higher than anything else offered. July
9Th to 10th, receipts are more liberal
and quoted at 800 to $3.50 per Car,
July 18th to goth, prices are $l2 to $50
100, and by the Car from $40 to
5000. On the 2lst there were three cars
of Southeast Missouri, famous melon
growing region, appeared, and the re-
celpts daily increased from that section
thereafter until the market got down to
$75 to 800 per car. On the first of Au
gust, the Missouri receipts average sixty
The Florida agriculturist. [volume] (DeLand, Fla.) 1878-1911, 1895-04-24

cars daily and gradually increase there
after, and prices continue to decline
steadily with larger offerings. Alabama,
Mississippi Texas. Arkansas and Geor-
gia are also shipping. The Missouri
supply steadily increases after this I'M
til it drives out all competition, as one
to two trains day loaded with melons
come over the Iron Mountain Railroad
from four or five stations in Scott and
Mississippi counties, $50 to $50 miles
south of this city. The same section
ships freely to other markets. On the
18th of August over 100 cars Missouri
melons are on the track and prices are
away down to $25 to $35 per Car, while
the freight on them is $17 to $50 per car
and the market is fairly glutted; you are
no longer interested in the course of the
market.
The greatest evil of the melon traffic
last season was the great quantity of I'M
ripe melons shipped; especially by the
Missouri growers, and never were the
losses so great to the traders here, some
Of whom lost money on almost every car
reshipped on account Of the large per-
centage of green melons, and thousands
of dollars were lost, and eventually it
was hard to sell Missouri melons at any
price. Another season ofsuch suicidal
policy on the part Of the growers will
ru the traffic. AS it is, the new office
of melon Inspector will surely be created
by our Board of Heath or city authori
ties, if not by the state. The matter is
now before our state legislature
Another very serious mistake of ship
oers is their failure to notify the con
'ignee how many melons in the car or
heir average weight. The first inquiry
If a buyer is, Glow many melons in the
,ar?' and the next question is, What
do they weigh or average ?" The seller
is usually unable to answer either, and
thus the sale is thereby injured, since
the buyer does not know what he is get
ting.
In packing, hay or straw, or similar
packing material, should be spread over
he bottom of the Car. Thoroughly ven
5ilated or cattle cars, should be used;
The sides, if open, protected against pill
fering by mailing planks on the inside or
openings.
A Car should hold 900 to 1900, &C.

The Castor Bean an Efficient and Deadly

The Castor Bean an Efficient and Deadly
Insecticide.
Moles dislike castor beans. as do 60
pliers, and they have both given my
garden wide birth since castor beans
were planted, although they had pre-
viOtsly destroyed many valuable bulbs
and plants. In 1898 moles were unu-
sually troublesome. A few beans were
tucked in my bulb bed, fayorite haunt
for moles, others in the rose border, some
near the violet bed and wherever the
pests were most troublesome A few
moles had runs here and there, and | at
once dropped bean in the path. Last
year | planted only a few beans to keep
them at bay, and not mole has been
seen. My moss roses were being laid in
state of devastation by the red spider,
but since the castor vines have over
Swallowed the bushes this tiny pest has
also absented itself, therefore l believe
it detests the castor bean as all the ami
NAL world seems to do. A noted horti-
culturist writes:
"There is hardly an instance in natu
raj history of plant so universally de-
tested by the animal world as the castor
oil plant No sort of bird, beast or
creeping thing will touch it. 1t seems
to be rank poison to all the amman
world. Even goat will starve before
biting leaf, and horse will sniff at it
