ceptably furnished by members of the vocal
classes at the college, under the direction
of Mrs. NJ. H. Parsons, with Mr.. Eric F.
Roth at the organ. "How happy are they

close of the sermon.
The entire musical program at the CON

gave evidence Of painstaking study and
promises much for the future of those par
ticipat ting.

Burt Mclaughlin and Miss Minnie Gould,
whose instrumental work was of the high
est order. Their performance OF Griegs
ITO Spring and the Butterfly" and Beeth-
ovens Sonata, Op. 2, No. 3, was highly
artistic.
Miss Mclaughlin also sang the waltz
song from Gounod's Romeo and juliet,

The Florida agriculturist. [volume] (DeLand, Fla.) 1878-1911, 1897-04-14

Northern Citrus Belt of Florida
Upon high land, particularly of the
second or third class, use pomelo or
rough lemon stock, taking care to
bud very low-as near as possible to
the collar The pomelo is decidedly
the most hardy, comparing favorably
with the sweet orange in this respect.
If the grower is prepared to cultivate
highly and perhaps irrigate, sour or
ange stock will be as satisfactory as
any. Sweet stock should be used only
after carefully weighing the risk
from Nal di Coma; it will make large
trees in less time than the sour, but
not so quickly as rough lemon or po-
melo, and will not bear so early or be
so prolific. In planting sweet stock
an excellent plan is to set it high, so
that the crown roots may be more or
less exposed to the light and air,
thereby lessening the danger of dis
ease.
For fiat woods, especially when de-
cidedly wet and underlaid with hard
pan, the sour root is decidedly better
that the sweet, and although both
rough lemon and pomelo are more
thrifty, their comparative tenderness
renders them undesirable except
where the benefit derived from thrifty
growth is marked.
Upon hummock land sour stock is
beyond all question to be preferred.
Indeed, on such land no other should
be planted.
Central citrus belt.-In this section
the rough lemon root can be used
with much more safety, but should be
budded low, both as safeguard
against frost and in order to shade
The Florida agriculturist. [volume] (DeLand, Fla.) 1878-1911, 1897-04-14

the trunk from the sun. Sour stock
is not in so much favor as in the more
northern counties, especially upon
high pine land and fiat woods. Upon
hummock in this section the sour or
ange root is far superior to any other
for stock.
Southern citrus belt.-Upon high
pine land, scrub, and fiat woods use
the rough lemon stock. In the South
the superiority of this stock is beyond
question, and it does fully as well up
on fiat woods as upon drier land.
Even in the hammocks it is superior
to sweet orange, although the sour
orange is much more satisfactory in
the end, on that class of land, any
where in the orange growing region.

as able to stand zero temperature.
A Satsuma, kumquat, mandarin, or
tangerine on trifoliata stock makes
compact and highly ornamental house
plant which bears good crops in three
or four years from time of budding.
