Those familiar with the southern por-
ton of Florida are aware of the fact
that the rubber tree is indigenous here,
and grows in great profusion on both
coasts south of n line drawn west from
New Smyrna. Many large trees grow
on the east coast, there being two we'll
known monarchs, one at DR.. Wittiield's
place, about six miles south of Rock
ledge, and another on Will I~anrhart'S
place at Lake Worth. To the natives
countless numbers of immense rubber
trees are known, but, as their use
fulness has not yet developed here,
they are very little noticed. On the
west coast the trees are abundantly
prominent, and are an open bid for
the people of our State to investigate
their value. At this time, when the
people are looking for new venue in
natural products, it would be reason
able to suppose that they would utilize
the wild rubber tree. On any of the
keys along the coast one could find
a rubber plantation or estate i'll an adj
vanced stage Of growth.
AT Anna Maria key, at the entrance
TO the harbor, Colonel John Il. Jones
has a place upon which is n Of these
trees, with five separate trunks, sim
liar to the banyan tree. The largest
trunk is eleven feet in circumference;
the others measure twenty-eight, TWEEN
ty7seven and eighteen and fifteen inch
es respectively. When the tops of
these trees become too spreading, they
send down a sucker, which takes root
and assists in the support of the
branches. Such a tree as mentioned
above covers a large area, and would
afford a good revenue were its great
flow Of sap utilized. Colonel Jones on
April Ii last planted a little rubber
nursing, eighteen inches in height. on
the 14th inst. that tree stood five feet
ten inches high, showing with what
rapidity they grow In their wild state
without any cultivation.-Jacksonville
