The Tobacco Experiment.

@@N AV~eS~~S ~S~~ FS~~A~~~@~s'
A recent issue of the Jacksonville
Citizen gives an excellent review of the
tobacco situation in Florida that IS Of
especial interest at this time, as our
people are anxious tt, know the outcome
of the numerous experiments In differ
ent sections Of the state. The Citizen
says:
Unusual interest has been taken in
the culture of the weed during the past
few months, because Of the interruption
of tobacco culture In Cuba occasioned
by the war on the island, as well as by
reason of the efforts of President Ell. r.
Duval, of the Florida Central & PENN
sular railroad, and others to promote the
development Of this branch of industry
in Florida. The general results of this
year may be stated as follows: Quality
Of the crop superior and fully up to the
most sanguine anticipations; quantity
somewhat curtalled by the unprece-
dented drouth last spring.
One of the leading authorities in the
tobacco business is Mr.. Henry Curtis,
the Florida Central & Peninsular rail-
roads agricultural and immigration
agent. Mr.. Curtis lives in Quincy and
is particularly well informed about the
tobacco crop of West Florida.
Mr.. Curtis says, in regard to the yield
of tobacco in Florida in general this
year that it is by far the best that has
ever been seen here, Notwithstanding the
unusual disadvantages occasioned by
the prolonged drouth in April and May,
the transplanting season.
Mr.. Curtis reports that Gadsden county
has splendid wrapper crop, which will
produce fully 100000 pounds. Nearly
all of it Is beautifully specked. Most Of
the crop is of the Sumatra variety,
while the remainder is of the Cuban or
Vuelta Abajo description. The crop
was harvested with unprecedented care,
and is commanding good price.
AS to the experimental crops of the
peninsular, promoted and fostered by
President Duval, of the Florida Central
& Peninsular system, Mr.. Curtis reports
that they have proved entirely satisfac-
tory in point of quality. Wherever in
telligent culture has been applied the
gray hammocks of the peninsular have
produced tobacco second to none in
texture and color. The finest Sumatra
and Cuba wrapper has been harvested,
and is now going to the dealers.
The acreage was considerably cur
tailed by the unfavorable season for
setting, and the experiments altogether

Good Qualities ofthe Satsuma.

Good Qualities OF the Satsuma.
In orange planting for profit, the Sat-
suma has two distinct and exception
ally desirable qualities, namely, early
ripening and hardness. On account of
it's earliness, the fruit brings high
prices, and on account of its hardness,
it is planted farther north and in colder
localities than other oranges.
The Satsuma is now pretty well known
in market, the October and November
price currents ranking it, for value, first
in the orange list. AT this season, when
ordinary oranges, arti1cially colored to
a pale and lifeless yellow, are either
sharply sour, or else fiat and insipid, the
Satsuma, as it comes from the trees, is
golden yellow, as bright and fully COL
ored as we are wort to see oranges at
Christmas, and the interior is not dis
appointing. The segment sacs, deep,
translucent, orange-yellow, the color of
ripeness, are bursting full of rich, sweet,
exquisitely fayored juice, all it's quail
ties fully developed.
The rroftableness of this fruit (and,
incidentally, it's productiveness and
bearing-young Qualities) are very forci-
bly, illustrated by the following facts re-
garding the Satsuma orchard of Mr.. g.
l.. Taber, at Glen St. Mary, Florida.
In 1890, 422 trees were planted, mostly
fifteen by fifteen feet apart (too close),
occupying less than two and one-fifth
acres. In 1892 they bore SIX boxes in
1893, III boxes, netting $3.50 per box; in
1894, 284 boxes, netting fraction over
$500 per box. October shipments in
1893 netted $319, and in 1894 over $3.50
per box-all should have been marketed
in October.) No effort was made to OBJ
tain special price. The fruit was ship
ped through the Florida Fruit Exchange,
took regular course, being sold in Bos-
ton at public auction, and the sales can
be verified by the published catalogues.
Three dollars box net for the crop is,
perhaps, unsurpassed for oranges in
1894: and $780, 90 net from two and one
fifth acres of fruit trees, planted less
than five years, is certainly creditable
showing for any fruit in any section.
While it is true that no crop was OBJ
tained in 1895 from the trees above re.
ferred to, owing to the effect of the "big
freeze" OF that year, it is worthy of note
that the trees survived without greater
injury, in view of the fact that the To-
cation is considerably north of the usual
range of oranges (within eight miles of
the Georgia line, about the latitude of
Baton Rouge), and the further fact that
the records for century and a half
show no previous cold of equal severity.
That the Satsuma is the hardest Or
ange known-that the Satsuma will
stand more cold on trifoliata than on
any other stoek-is clearly al own by
The Florida agriculturist. [volume] (DeLand, Fla.) 1878-1911, 1896-10-07

ranged in height and spread from eight
to twelve feet, while other varieties, at
seven years, were fifteen feet high. The
trifoliaea itself grows to a height of
twenty to twenty-five feet, how high va
rietles Of oranges worked upon it will at
tain 1t is impossible to say, as we have
as yet no full grown trees in this coun-
try. When we consider that trees on
this stock usually branch at the ground,
and the measurements (see aboye) do
not include several feet of stem, they
indicated head Of good size, and it ap-
pears that the orange and other citrus
grow as large as is desirable upon trifo-
liata. This moderate size and spread
ing habit is really decided advantage.
More trees can be planted in the same
space, the fruit is more eas ly gathered,
while the trees can be better managed,
and suffer less from wind and storm.
Public attention has been more partic
uIarly directed to the value of the Sat
suma for locations subject to injurious
frosts, and for the region above the Or
ange belt; but, it is also desirable va
riety for south Florida and the orange
district proper. Under date of July 18th,
1896, Mr.. w. J. Lewis, of Mango, Hills
borough county, writes me as follows: 81
had one Satsuma orange tree before the
freeze. 1t was six years old, budded on
rough lemon stock, and bore heavy
crops after it was three years old. While
this tree did not grow as vigorously as
the common orange, it made q fair
growth every year. The Satsuma does
we'll in this part of the state on the
sweet orange stock, and fairly we'll on
the grape fruit Pomelo), but it will not
do at all on the sour orange. 1t seems
to do best on the rough lemon. have
never seen Satsuma on trifollata stock. -
On July 18th, 1896, Mr.. W. A. Legate,
of Tampa, writes me as follows: ''Prior
to the big freeze had a number OF
bearing Satsuma orange trees, also quite
q number that were not bearing. l have
budded good many for other people,
mostly on sweet orange stock. My largest
trees were budded on rough lemon
stock, and were quite vigorous growers
and bore heavily. I did not consider
that it paid to bud Satsuma on grape
fruit (Pomelo) stock, as the trees did
not grow as well as on other stock.
Sweet orange stock was better, but l
preferred rough lemon stock to any
other. 1 consider the Satsuma a valu-
able fruit, and think it would pay to
give them larger place in our groves.
l have had no experie nee with the trifo-
llata stock. Testimony along this line
showing the desirability of the Sat
suma for south Florida planting
could be multiplied indefinitely. 1t
might be well to add that, as compared
with the trifoliata, the chief objection

the experience of the past ten years. In
the gulf region, the Satsuma stood the
freeze of 1895 as well. or better, than
other oranges in the orange region Of the
Florida peninsula, and it is apparent
that, with this variety and this stock,
orange culture is entirely feasible much
farther north, and in colder locations,
than with other varieties and other
stocks.
The Satsuma is being extensively
propagated on the hardy trifoliata (Cit-
rus trifoliata) stock. The trifoliata is
the native wild orange of Japan, where
it has been used time immemorial as a
stock for the cultivated varieties. Or
ange growers have been experimenting
with it in this country tor some twenty
years, and it's value here as stock for
citrus fruits is now generally recognized.
1t is vigorous grower, deciduous, en-
tirely hardy as far north as Washington.
AS above stated, the Satsuma, the hard
lest orange we have, is more resistant to
cold on trifoliata than on any other
stock.
While the Satsuma does not make as
large tree as the ordinary varieties OF
oranges on orange stock, it makes as
large a tree as is desirable in open
ground culture. I have seen ten-year-
old trees (Satsumas) that were nine feet
high (branched at the ground) with
eighteen feet spread of branches.
The advantages of the trifoliata as a
stock are it's vigor and strong vitality,
it's resistance to adverse conditions as
well as to the attacks of insects and dis
eases, it's quality of increasing the hard
mess of varieties worked upon 1t and of
ripening the fruit early in season. While
the trifoliata is especially desirable as a
stock in regions north of the usual range
of orange planting, and in exceptionally
cold locations in the orange belt, it's de-
is by no means confined to
such sections, it is one OF the very best
stocks wherever the orange is grown.
The fact that the trifoliata has been
considerably used for tie propagation
of small orange trees for house culture,
and for grounds at the north, where the
trees must be removed indoors in winter
(for which it is especially well adapted), !,
has led to the impression that varieties
worked upon it were necessarily very
much dwarfed. This is erroneous, in
open ground culture oranges upon tri-
foliata stock are not dwarfs in this dim
inutive sense, but make good, sizable
trees. In the 1895-'96 catalogue of the
Glen st. Mary nurseries, many reports
were given as to the size attained by va
rieties of oranges and other citrus fruits
on this stock, showing that small grow
ing varieties (of the Mandarin class)
varying in age from tlve to nine years,
The Florida agriculturist. [volume] (DeLand, Fla.) 1878-1911, 1896-10-07

to the rough lemon as stock for the
Satsuma is it's lack of hardness.
