In answer to the question, had the
people learned to accept California
and foreign fruit for the Florida or
ange, the answer was in every case
the same:
''There are no oranges like those
grown in Florida. When the Florida
crop failed us we tried to substitute
that from California and endeavOred
to induce our customers that they
were equally as good. But this can
never be done. They would buy the
California fruit, but purchases were
comparatively small-it was Florida
oranges or nothing. We and our Gus
toners more than ever appreciate
Florida's splendid fruit when we are
compelled to be without it. We have
missed it sadly, and anxiously await
the time when we can meet the de-
mand for it,
There seemed to be a poor opinion
generally or California fruits as a
whole, except the grapes
There can never be any serious
competition with the Florida oranges
for the. reason that no other section
of the United States or foreign coun-
try can produce the same grade of
fruit as is grown here.
The people of the United States
have learned of this superiority and
will accept no Observation-Disclosures

The Great Guava.

The guava is a common and humble
fruit in public estimation beside
the orange, pineapple and lemon, and
cultivators hardly deem it worthy
their attention AS a general rule it is
chucked off in a corner and no pains
taken with it. But we note that this
year the guava, being the first fruit
to return to bearing condition, has
played quite an important part in the
market. Not only has it been con-
sumed in much larger quantities than
usual, but it has brought good deal
of money to those fortunate enough
to own trees. The guava deserves ex-
tended and systematic cultivation,
and it can be made to pay large prof
it's. Put up as in Havana, it is one of
the finest known preserves and COM
mands an unlimited market. The
famous jelly made from it is a favor
lite the world over. With a cheap and
modest factory outfit and a few acres
in the best varieties OF guavas, a
shrewd manager could soon and cas-
lily grow rich.-Tampa Times.

plant. From this it will be under
stood how a barrel will hold suf-
ficient soil for so many plants, and
how they will grow in the same soil
for four or five years; for by far the
greater part of the plant-food is in the
water which is absorbed by the roots,
and the carbon in the atmosphere.
This plan, or some modification of it,
may be of use in forcing strawber-
ries, in dollhouse culture, or in plac-
ing sash around the barrel, to for
ward them for home use, and | should
think it worth a trial
to know if there is any profit in grow
ing Strawberries in this way for mar
ket, and if it will pay him to use bar
rels on large scale. I believe that
few persons are making the trial, but
L have heard no report from them.
It's advantages may be learned by eX
perimenting first in a small way. If
it is found profitable, there is a new
strawberry culture to be developed,
which will do away with much of the
labor of field culture, and food for the
plants easily supplied in liquid form.
Something cheaper and more conven-
lent devised to hold the plants, and
many notifications and improve
ments might be evolved from this
plan.

Introduction of Rice into America.

Martin says, in his history of North
Carolina, that the planting of rice
was commenced in this country in
the year 1893, as follows: A brig from
Madagascar, on her way to England,
came to anchor off Sullivan's Island
Thomas smith going on board receiv-
ed from the captain a bag of seed rice
with information of it's culture in the
East, it's suitableness for food and it's
incredible increase. Smith divided
the seed among his friends, and an
experiment being made in different
soils, the success surpassed the eXpec-
tation the captain had excited. Thus
from this small beginning, accident
ally occurring, arose the staple COM
modify of Carolina, which soon be-
came the chief support of the colony
and the great source of it's opulence.
