Citrus Fruits.

CPaper read before the State Horticultural Soci-

mittee on citrus fruits.
The question of citrus fruits as the
groves now are, is question of how to
get bearing groves the quickest; as fruit
is a thing of the past, at least for the
present, except in limited quantities.
This can be done first, by budding with
the variety of orange that Is known to
bear the quickest; second, by budding
with thornless buds, and as best results
in the long run are to be desired as well
as quick returns, this thornless bud is
very desirable for it gives an open and

is that we shall make clear and definite

is this subject that the writer begs leave
to suggest, that at least each horticult-
ural neighborhood shall have a micro
scope and its proper outfit.
We ought to be in position to at least
make verifications, for ourselves, of the
facts and principles of our science.
Such verifications would be the identi-

will be unsatisfactory in immediate re-
suits We shall find it slow work, and
not be able to declare the nature and
meaning of most that we observe. How
ever, continued observation and study
will eventually bring experience, and
experience will inevitably result in intel
ligence and definite knowledge.
To aid any wouldbe learner of the
more scientific aspects of agriculture
and horticulture the writer has pre-
pared, as an appendix to this article, a

Paper prepared by c. J. K. Jones, Louisville.
Ky. land DeLand. Fla, read before the State Hor-
ticultural Society.
One of the greatest diff culties under
which the farmer and fruit grower la
bors, is the lack Of definite knowledge
as to the facts and phenomena attend
ing the cultivation of plants and trees.
In the orange industry, as conducted in
Florida, the writer has found it difficult
to get an accurate statement as to the
nature of the various conditions under
which the culture is conducted He
has heard the strongest reports, from
all parts of the state, concerning the
character and depredations of various
predatory insects. He has been fire.
quently alarmed at descriptions of old
and new diseases that threatened to de-
stroy our groves. Every exudstlon of
sap has been construed into an infallible
sign of foot-rot, (mal di goma).
In the days of pruning madness, he re-
ceived the most startling declarations
as TO the histology and physiology of the
orange tree. When it came to the
chemistry of the soil, the action of ferti-
lizer, the structure and action of roots
and the relations of leaves to the normal
development of the tree, he found tnat
every man was law unto himself, and
tried to be law to his trees also. The
writer in no wise would even seem to
reflect on the intelligence of his fellow
horticulturiSts in Florida. On the con-
trary, after years of association with
them personally, and through their
many valuable articles in the horticult-
ural journals, he knows that they are
class Of men unusually capable in their
calling. as pertains to the practical side
of fruit growing. The purpose of this
article is not to criticise, but to call at
tention to the fact that there are many
problems in fruit raising which require
q method of solution more scientific in
manner of investigation, and treatment,
than we have hitherto given them.
When we shall have adopted this
more scientific procedure in experiment
tation, and in observation, we shall ar
rive at more scientific, and therefore,
more certain results.
This is not to intimate, much less to
say, that there are not among us men
who are scientific. There are many
such men, members of this society.
But the larger number of us horticultur-
lists are not scientific in our methods of
horticulture. Am I in error, when |
say that in our several communities
truly scientific horticulturists are in the
minority? The lack of scientific method
has been much impressed upon the
writer during the past fifteen months,
as he has closely followed the many dis
cussions on the conditions of our frozen

sit needs no marvellous intellect, no
special brilllancy to succeed in scien-
tific study; work at it ardently and per
severingEy, and success will follow. -
Much of the data we need must be col
lected by the aid of the microscope.
The most of the enemies we have to
fight, as the most of the secret processes
and their results we have need to observe
are of the "klngdcms of the infinitely
little" where into the unaided eye of
man cannot penetrate.
The simple microscope, in the form
of single lens, 10 magnifying ten or twelve
diameters, is of great service. But to
ascertain the facts concerning many an
insect and fungus, we may require a
magnification of one hundred, or more
diameters. For this work a compound
microscope is absolutely essential. For
example, the study of rusts on grain,
the mildews on grasses, the smut OF
corn; in short, the many diseases oi
field and garden crops, can be intelli
gently observed only by the use of the
complete compound microscope. 1t was
not until men commenced to use this
instrument, that the diseases of plants
began to be understood, and received
their first checks. Today the intelli-
gent use of the microscope, combined
with some chemical knowledge, is en-
abling horticulturists, the world over,
to successfully cope with their enemies
of air and earth, in form of insects,
fungi, and bacteria. The use of the
microscope is, by many, looked upon as
requiring such stores of knowledge and
such expert skill, that they are deferred
from making even a beginning of it's
use.
It is true that the highest expert use
of the microscope requires large
amount of technical knowledge. But
the data we require in much of our work,
UO0S QOb Cdll IOE uLOEO dOIIAGy dAO ohAll
than is easily commanded by the major
ity of hortlculturists, who will give a
few hours each week to study and work
with the microscope. If we older men,
burdened with "the toll and moil," can
not find either the mood, or the time,
then let the work be done by some OF
the bright and capable young men and
young women of our homes. They will
grow into the work and will like it. 1t
would be practical step in the right
direction, If, at our succeeding meetings,
we could have working session with
the microscope, at which the value of
the instrument could be demonstrated.
Such a session would make it very plain
that, by the aid of half-dozen micro.
scopes, or even one microscope, in each
one of our horticultural centers, intelli-
gently used, we could answer for our
selves, many questions which we now
send to Prof. Webber, or to Lake City
Experiment Station, or to Washington.
The Florida agriculturist. [volume] (DeLand, Fla.) 1878-1911, 1896-05-27

down groves, and the best course to be
pursued in order to resuscitate them.
The great variance in the counsels
offered bas been due to the absence OF
an accurate scientific knowledge of the
status of the groves.
Men who were most successful orange
growers, when the conditions have been
normal, have been sadly sat sea" for
the past year-some have not yet come
"within sight of land" Perhaps we are
each and all somewhat to blame for this
situation Of uncertainty, in that, in the
past we have not insisted upon scientific
methods for ourselves, and for our neigh
bors. Those who knew should have i'm
parted to those who did not know.
While on visit to his grove in July
1895, the writer asked several most sue
cessful growers 'have you used a mi
crotonie and microscope on these
blighted and diseased tissues?" The
answer was ''no!" Perhaps at that
stage of affairs, sections of wood would
not have revealed much unless there
had been previous studies of normal
tissues in bud, bark, wood and root.
Nevertheless it would have been in
structlve to some of us, not on the field,
if we could have had a few microscope
slides of the various tissues, made on
the first morning after the February
freeze.
Especially valuable would it have been
if, with the slides Of sectioned wood
there had been short history of culture
and fertilization. The writer saved
over two hundred trees fourteen years
old, budded on sweet stock. He attri-
butes this fortunate 'solvage from the
wreck" to the fifteen per centum high
grade potash in the fertilizer he had
used on his grove, which potash made a
stronger cellular tissue. In the absence
of testimony bearing thereon, he thinks
the microscopic examination of tissues
would have helped to decide the ques'
tion.
Prof. Webber has demonstrated to us
(see United States Department of Agri-
culture Year book 1894 page 1873 f) that
fertilization has very much to do with
the character of the wood and fruit OF
our trees.
In this connection it is pertinent to
remark that we have been greatly de-
pendent on the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture and it's skilled spec
ialists for large portion of the definite
knowledge we have in our calling and L
am sure we gratefully acknowledge our
debt. But while recognizing this debt
ought there not to be deeply-felt re-
sponsibility, that we shall also do some
thing to help ourselves?
We cannot all be experts 1t we would.
But we can do something in collecting
data that shall be definite and reliable.
We can be scientific, as has been said
