hd1lIOduS Adh0 1uIy LoI OoAb'
Editor Florida Agriculturist:
In the columns of your paper there
appeared lately certain pieces giving the
wonderful profits of vegetable growing,
conveying to the ignorant, or to a stran'
ger to the business, that it is a very
pleasant business. My name appeared
in many papers as realizing SO, 600 off of
ten acres. Itmade me but $500.
A neighbor of mine whom you also
mention as making S4OO off Of three
fourths Of an acre of lettuce, out of a
crop of forty acres in vegetables, failed
to realize enough to settle his fertilizer
bill and turned over to the fertilizer
company his stock and farming imple-
ments to settle that bill alone, leaving
the crate men, ETC., unpaid. The man
had best of land to work with and his
own family did most of the cultivation,
etc.; this is the general rule, and occas-
ionally in this locality lucky hit draws
a good prize.
I have been trying to get at the exact
truth about the profits of vegetable
growing in this neighborhood and have
gotten together the shipments, returns,
etc. of forty-seven of our largest, best
and most intelligent growers, and say
these vegetables have been grown mostly
on new hammock lands, the very best
vegetable land in the state and give you
the results of this investigation. These
forty-seven growers shipped $4,000
crates, nearly 200 crates apiece; the
gross sales amounted to $4,000, which
amount was divided as follows: The
freight charges were S45, 900, the COM
missions $4,000, returns to the growers
$4,000. The growers estimated that 1t
cost them to make and deliver a bushel
crate of vegetables 40 cents, a barrel
crate S1OO, Gt can't be done for that
amount), but reckoning the above at 40
cents and $1.OO per crate as per list, the
total amount to have delivered these
vegetables to depot amounts to S36, 600,
leaving balance of 81, 440 to be divided
amongst the whole.ot or $2O64 apiece
for whole years work, or profit on an
average of Il cents per crate. We do
not know the number OF acres planted
but say 1000. Then the railroad COM
pany received S45 per acre for their ser
vices, the commission men SO per acre
for their trouble, the growers 1873 for
their trouble, and after deducting the
cost to make and deliver to depot it
leaves them but 81. "A per acre.
The above are cold stern facts. can
tell you why the results are as they are.
I can tell you what changes we must
have to either kill or develop the bus
mess, but this letter is too long already,
If you think your readers would like a
longer letter on this subject I am ready
to give it to you. L. s. LIGHT.

For the Florida Agriculturist.
Celery Culture in Florida.

years ago 1t was thought impossible to
produce fine grade of celery in our
soils and climate, but the contrary has
been proved beyond all doubt. Various
writer's on this subject advance various
methods of growing celery, but it might
be remarked that thus far only few
have been successful in growing it..
The first consideration on entering the
celery business is the soil. High, light
soil is unfit for celery growing as mud
puddle would be for a chicken yard.
On most every farm, Of any size, there
are places too low or springy for ordinary
farm products. Most of these by little
work can be turned into fine celery
patch. Shallow bitches can be made
sufficient to carry off the surplus water
and keep it from eight to twelve inches
below the level Of the soil. Such ground
will usually be mucky and therefore well
adapted to the growth Of celery. Fine
celery can be grown on reasonably dark
heavy soil where the ground is quite wet.
Where there is opportunity for irriga-
ton most any good heavy soil will do.
The preparation of the soil is very i'm
portant as the ground cannot be made
too mellow. Pillow the land deep if the
soil is deep, the deeper the better. Ii,
however, the soil is shallow so that the
sandy subsoil is turned up by deep plow-
ing care must be taken not to turn too
much of the poor soil to the surface for
celery does not care to send it's roots deep
in quest of food. Shallow soil, however,
can be very much improved by blowing
a little deeper each year thus gradually
working the subsoil to the surface and
enrlching it by the manures and so forth,
used by the crop.
On our farm, which is selected piece
or fiat pine land, after getting the
ground we'll plowed and pulverized we
mark out the rows four feet apart.
These rows are opened by turning out
two burrows with a common one horse
turn plow. For small patch where the
rows are short the bitches might be
spaded out about foot and half wide
and from four to ten inches deep de-
pending entirely on the soil. Into these
bitches we put stable manure and muck,
and as to quantity, l will say the more
the better. Upon this we use liberal
dressing of cotton seed meal, which,
with the muck and manure, makes
good rich base for the food supply of
the crop. About third OF the chemi-
Cal fertilizer to be used on the crop is
now added to the trenches and the Guilt
vator is run over the rows until the
whole is we'll mixed with more or less of
the soil. Time spent in pulverzing the
soil and mixing the fertilizer is by no
means lost even if INDUCED in quite
heavily. When the ground is thus pre-
pared we consider it ready for the plants,
which up to this time have been grow
ing vigorously in well fertilized seed
bed. We plant our seed in August and
September so as to have plants to set
into the field in November and Deem.
Der. When earth is to be used for
bleaching we set the plants about six
inches apart in the rows prepared as
have Just described. Boards are some
times used for bleaching and when this
is done the rows may be made three feet

be the subject of another article. We
begin earthing up after the plants are
we'll grown and in very short time we
have celery for market.
