Pomelo Stock.-In habit growth

land, and while it does not gain favor

Other Stocks.-Several other spe-
cies of citrus have been used as stocks
for the orange, among which may be
named the lemon, lime, China lemon,
bitter sweet, citron, and trifoliata.
The sweet lime, especially, is much es-
teemed as a stock in India, and the
Florida lime stock promises to ex-
tend the southern limit of profitable
orange culture. None of them, how
ever, are of great practical import
ance for grove culture in the United
states. The lemon is too susceptible
to gum disease, the lime and citron
lack resistance to cold, the China lem
on, commonly propagated from cut
tings, soon loses thrift and dies, the
bitter sweet is not so thrifty. as the
sour orange, and the trifoliata is a
hardy dwarf stock for indoor use, or
for dwarfng the Satsuma. Upon this
stock the Satsuma is hardy as gar
den tree beyond the usual limits of
orange culture, but it's value has been
greatly exaggerated, especially in
Texas, where it has been advertised

soil.
In Florida the sour orange is found
wild only in the hammocks. There il
seems to delight in the rich, moAx
soil, and it is on this kind of land
that it's value as stock is most ap-
parent. While it does we'll on the bet
ter class of high pine land, especially
when well cared for, it is never SO Wig
orous as on stronger land. It's great
point of value is it's freedom from dis
ease, and it is upon this one claim
that it's popularity is generally found
ed. Upon high pine land in Florida
about 40 per cent of the growers are
found to favor sour orange stock
against 80 per cent who favor sweet,
and 80 per cent who are divided in
their choice between rough lemon, po-
melo, bitter sweet, lime, or who have
no choice. On the fiat woods near 70
per cent favor sour orange stock
against II per cent who favor sweet.
while on the hummocks fully 90 per
cent of the replies have been favOra-
bic to sour orange stock against three
per cent for sweet stock, including
seedlings. Of the famous Indian riv-
er groves fully 90 per cent are found
ed on sour stock.
In some localities in Florida, nota-
bly, in Orange and VOlusia counties,
it is claimed that drouth is less in
furious to sour than to sweet stock,
and there may be some foundation
for this opinion, owing to the relative
ly slower growth of the sour stock on
sandy land, but the claim is not
general. It's claim for superior resist
ance to frost is much more wide
spread, and despite some contradict
tory evidence, which may perhaps be
due to local causes, we must accept it
until more accurate comparative eN-
periments are made. The California
returns are decidedly corroborative of
this claim.
In the nursery the sour seedlings
are apt to become infested with leaf
scab to a considerable extent, which
often causes serious loss. No critical
study of the disease has yet been
made, but it is clearly fungous in its
origin, and until such study can be
made it might be we'll to experiment
with the ammoniacal fungicides
which have proved so efficatious in
pear leaf blight and apple scab. Once
budded, all danger is over, the sweet
top being quite proof against the dis
ease Lemon leaves and fruit are,
however, subject to it.
Upon the subject of sour orange
stock Mr.. NJ. E. Gillett, of South Lake
Weir, Florida, writes the Pomologist
as follows:
The subject is one of vital import
ance to orange growers. All European
countries years ago discarded the
sweet root as a stock to bud or graft,
and use the sour almost exclusively.

for some years, and have grown many

attacked trees always die. We have
been shipping about 100000 trees pei
year for the past three years to Cali
fornia, and from our experience we
have contended all along that the
sour stock was in many particulars
the better stock. 1 learn that they
have foot rot in California quite bac
! in some places, but in the face of il
all there are a number of California
| nurserymen who have trees on sweet
stock who will argue against the sour
orange root. Ny experience with the
two has been large, and the sweet
seed is easier to get and cheaper, but
for many reasons we always get the
sour. We believe they are longer

stand more exposure than the sweet

but it soon heals.
Rough Lemon Stock-Within the
past few years a new stock, combin,
ing most of the good points of the
sweet and sour stocks, has come into
prominence, especially on the fiat
woods and scrub lands of the south
ern citrus belt of Florida. This is the
"French'' or "Florida Rough lemon,
which has been grown from time i'm
memorial in Florida and the West
Indies, and seems to correspond al
most exactly in tree, flower and fruit
with Hybrid XIV (citroned orange
citrus aurantium indicum, citratum
fructu magno, cortice auro, crasso,
amaricante, medulla acid ct arma) of
Pomo d'Adamo citron, and partakes
of the nature of the citron, lemon and
orange. The tree has escaped from
cultivation and become naturalized in
some parts of South Florida, where
the hummocks contain numbers of
bearing trees growing luxuriantly in
the midst of thick underbrush and
forest trees. 1t is very valuable for
home use, though not for shipping;
the fruit hangs on the tree in fair
condition until the new crop is large
enough to use, and is very healthful
and refreshing in the raw state.
AS stock for the orange and lem

through south and central Florida, al

location.
