be wrapped IN brown paper and shipped
in welt ventilated barrels or barrel
crates.
Up to two years ago the New York
Improved has been considered the best
variety for shipping, but in the effort to
cheaper seed production, all manner of
streaked and imperfect fruit was gath
cred for seed purposes. That strain, as
usually sold today, is practically
worthless. Selections have been made,
new strain has been developed that is
pure, free from streaked fruit and
nearly thornless. This has been named
"Large Purple Thornless." For home
use the Black Pekin is good variety.
1t is earlier and more prolific but the
"eggs" are much smaller and the quail
ity is not as good.
Egg plant in the seed bed and also
when small after transplanting is often
attacked by the common flea beetle.
The remedy for this is busting the plant
with lime.
The most serious drawback in egg plant
culture at present is the disease known
as blight which has caused such loss to
the omato growers of this and other
states. The egg plant is subject to at
tack. We saw an acre Of egg plant last
summer that did not mature single
fruit, every plant dying from blight be-
fore fruiting.
This disease has been made special
study by Prof. Rolls of the Florida Ex
pertinent STATEN. The results of ex-
periments on this disease were given in
Bulletin 81.

in check was 16 per cent, so the real
gain by spraying was per cent.
The third plot was treated lust as the

"Plots were laid off in the same wav

scorching the leaves. This has more
reference to egg plant than to tomato.
The results were practically the same

of the government experimental grounds
at Washington, who states that he has
"been making observations over series
of years." on oranges and some OF his
remarks on the quality and characterls'
tics of several kinds of this fruit will
interest California growers. In paper
contributed to Meehan's Monthly, he
says that "any variety of oranges grown
in California will have thicker skin
than fruit Of the same variety grown in
Florida" and he attributes the difference
to climatic conditions.
1t is we'll known that no variety OF
native orange tree has ever been found
in California. All varieties growing
here have been acclimatized. Their
habitat is in countries quite different
from even the m ost favored localities in
California. AS Mr.. Saunders says, "the
orange tree requires long-continued
warm season to perfect its fruit and the
warmest climate oranges are always the
sweetest He finds that "the average
orange grown in Jamaica is thinner
skinned than that of Florida" while the
best Florida oranges grown along the
Indian river are found Gin sheltered
groves we'll shaded with palms and
other native vegetation" Oranges
grown under these conditions Oh Indian
and be cssf uf fe5t ana naad well Ta11fHa ia
vored."
Indeed, he says that mo matter in
what part of Florida, if oranges are
grown under these favorable influences.
they are equally as good as the Indian
river oranges and may be classed with
them" But he says that on the other
hand, "oranges grown on cleared lands
within a hundred yards of sheltered
groves will be rough skinned and more
or less blackened by rust, while one
rarely, if ever, finds any rusty oranges
in shady and we'll sheltered groves" In
word, the nearer we approach the eli
matte conditions Of the countries where
the orange finds congenial habitat the
greater the value Of the fruit and the
more vigorous and perfect the tree.
Overlooking these obvious conditions
some of our orange growers not only ex-
pose their trees to the dry and burning
heat OF the sun in our clear atmosphere,
but they even cut away the inner twigs
and foliage of the trees that the scorch-
ing rays Of the sun may penetrate every
portion of the tree-top, as if dry heat
and fierce light were prerequisites in
maturing perfect oranges. In this con-
nection we are glad to note that this
theory of thinning and cutting away of
the inner twigs and branches of orange
trees has found at least one man to dis.

PRODUCTION. A native of tropical Africa,
it reaches perfection in Florida during
the summer months that can be at
tanned in no other state. In northern
markets it is increasing in popularity
every year. When properly managed
we consider it one of the most profitable
market crops.
In Florida there are two seasons for
planting it, one from January to March
for spring crop, the other from June Is
to August l, for fall and early winter
shipments.
More than one-half the seed in the
January and February paintings is lost
through failure in termination. The

which the seed bed becomes chilled Will

and a sufficient number of holes to in
sure drainage. The seed should be COW

There should be cracks left between the
box and pan. Under this pan keep an
ordinary kerosene lamp constantly burn

The heat from the lamp will keep the

Immediate planting for fall and early

Second Crop Of Irish Potatoes.

applies to the south in general, allow
ance being made for differences in sea-
sons. From the chapter on Irish po'
tatoes we quote as follows:
The practice of grnwinga second crop
of potatoes from seed of the early crop
has been practiced for twenty years. but
the importance of this crop to the south
ern gardener has only been fully realized
within the past few years. Experience
has demonstrated that these late grown
potatoes, not only in the south, but
northward, and the demand for them
for planting has rapidly increased, so
that their production will soon form
very important item in the crops Of the
southern gardener.
At this station we have made regular
experiments for several years to devise
the best mode of producing this crop
with certainty, and have settled upon
ment. The potatoes from which it is de-
sired to grow the second crop should be
allowed to remain where they grew till
PERFECTLY ripe and the tops dead. Ii
they are selected from the culls in dig
ging the partly MANFRED crop for ship
ping there will be much uncertainty as
to their sprouting. When the tops are
dead, take them up and allow them to
remain day or so exposed to the light
until they turn greenish. Then spread
them in any convenient place on the
ground and cover them with pine or
other straw. Sprinkle the straw and
thereafter never allow it to get dry all
through.
Prepare the land as for the early crop

so heavy, and run out the rows by 60

inches deep. AS the potatoes under the
straw begin to start the eyes, which will
be from the first to the middle of Au-

but cover them not more than an inch
over the top Of the tubers until the
green leaves begin to grow. Then grad

until it IS level.
The after culture must be as level as
possible and no killing should be done

ing to prevent the drying out of the soil.
The potatoes will sprout earlier if, be-
fore bedding them under the straw. a
small piece is clipped off one end and

done when planting. The planting
should be done by the middle of Au.

This crop will grow green until the
frost' cuts the tops down, and their i'm
maturity prevents their sprouting be-

grow it is with the strong growth of the
terminal bud, which gives them great
advantage over the northern potatoes.
