quently scabby and discolored in
spots, and a pulp of inferior flavor.
We think it an erroneous practice,
though extensively followed, to pillow
in fertilizers. We prefer to plow shall
low first, then apply the fertilizer and
work it in with an acme or cutaway
harrow Many of the best growers
are at present following that plan,
believing that the plant food from sol
uble fertilizers will find it's way down
to the roots If plowed under, much
of it, especially in time of frequent
rains, will find it's way below the
roots and be useless. Some of the
most thoughtful are awakening to the
idea that it is part of economy to
furnish what ammonia is needed in
some green crop to be plowed in, ant
are using cow peas with good results
In some cases crab grass and beggal
weed have been used to advantage. 1t
is also thought that poke weed can be
employed for the same purpose, in
short, anything which will supply
ammonia and humus. The latter is
greatly lacking in the pine lands, but
not to so great an extent in the ham
mock. We think the outlook for Or
ange culture in Florida is better now
than before the freeze of two years
ago, because many of the poorer
groves have been abandoned, and the
better ones are likely to be carried on
with more economy and on business
principles. j. M. White.

Peaches at Pabor Lake,

A careful examination Of our e%
perimental peach orchard in the sand
hill region of South Florida, during
the first week in March. permits us 10
make the following report. which
may interest the readers of the Ag
riculturist:
Ferdinand.-In full bloom: IN 10,
bloom as this year; in '96 bloom set
about Feb. Goth.
Triane.-Just showing bloom; same
as in previous two years.
Colon.-In full bloom.
Taber.-In full bloom.
Sangmal.-In full bloom.
The above five are the Taber new
varieties that seem to give good
promise for sand hill land. Once only
the Triane set bloom out of season. in
November '95; but a second setting
came in the following March. Growth
of trees thrifty, healthy and fairly
symmetrical. We look for good
crop from these trees. of which we
have five of each this year.

The above shows that potash and

The above shows that potash and
bone should be abundantly supplied
and in the best forms. We think IL is
at present conceded by the oest grow
ers and those who have made study
of it for fifteen to twenty years, that
the best formula for a fertilizer for
an average grove is one containing
about three to four per cent OF am
monia, five to seven available phos-
phoric acid, and ten to twelve actual
potash, the ammonia derived from
sulphate of ammonia, the phosphoric
acid from bone, and the potash from
high grade sulphate of potash, and
that it is desirable to apply it in De-
cember or January, using ten to
twelve pounds per tree. Some prefer
using it in two applications, making
the second in May or June. Some of
the finest and most profitable groves
i'm the state have been treated with
the foregoing formula, applied twice
in the year, in June and December.
Many for bearing trees prefer to use
high grade fertilizers in October OF
November, and claim good results.
The high grade sulphate of potash
produces fine appearing fruit, with
thin, smooth, well-colored, tough and
leathery skin, which causes it to
stand transportation well, and the
pulp is juicy and good favored. Any
fertilizer containing chlorine should
be avoided in the orange grove, as it
seems to be injurious to both tree and

Florida Gem, light crop of fruit has
set, the bloom coming early in Feb
ruary; last year tree was in full
bloom 1st of February, had fruit size
of hazel nuts by the 2Oth, and ripened
by last week in May.
Angel-Fair setting of fruit; this
variety has been regular in bloom
latter part of February for three
years. Last season had good crop.
Bidwells Early has fair setting of
fruit, not so heavy as last year.
Ripened in 1896 the last week in May.
Waldo.-Good setting of fruit; for
past two years this variety seems reg
ular in it's habits, in the older trees;
some young trees bloomed last No
vember and show peaches size Of
large pecans.
Honey-Just coming into bloom;
promise of a good crop.
Red Ceylon.- No crop this year;
bloom set in November and the De-
cember cold snap punished the tree
for it's precocity. Last year we had
nice crop, for so small trees as we
have. They ripened early in June
and their red flesh made them quite
a novelty. The dropping habit of the
branches makes the Red CeylOn an
attractive lawn tree.
Yum Yum.-No crop, for same
cause as above; last year bloom came
early in February and fruit ripened
last of May.
Climax-Just showing bloom; first
time, as trees are young.
Peen-To.-Fair setting of fruit Last
wear first bloom second week i'll Feb
ruary, ripening last week in May.
Japanese Blow Dwarf.-Trees
small; show no bloom.
Jewel-Young trees, but some fruit
has set and about size of hazel nuts;
same observations were made last
year as to bloom and fruit setting.
Oviedo.-Bloom not yet in evidence.
Trees young.
Powers September.-Just showing
bloom; trees young.
Gibbons October.-No sign of
bloom yet; trees young.
The warm weather in November
and early part of December last,
brought out the peach bloom to
greater extent than we have observed
heretofore; with, of course, disas-
trous results from the freezing wealth
er of the latter part of December. The
new Taber varieties seem to bloom
and set fruit at proper time, as do he

Gem.
Last years experience led us to OBJ

safe varieties for the sand hill section

For the Florida AgriculturiSt.
Orange Culture.

1t is only in recent years that or
ange culture in Florida has been
made a study of, and even now many
go on in haphazard way, without
knowing or considering the nature
and wants of the tree or it's fruit. In
selection of soils there are but two
kinds to choose frOm-that which is
known as pine land and hammock or
half-hammock. The pine lands are
sandy and require more plant food,
but can be cleared and prepared for
the trees at much less expense. The
majority of the groves IN the state are
on such lands. The hammock lands
have a dark rich soil, but are more eX-
pensive to bring under cultivation,
and require less plant food, and pro-
duce a superior fruit. Most of the or
anges known as Indian river fruit are
grown upon hammocks. They are,
however, more liable TO go through
transportation in bad condi> ion on
account of their very tender skin
Whatever the location selected, it is
desirable to have protection to ward
off cold and heavy winds. On pine
lands it is we'll to have a belt OF tim
Der on all sides, especially on the
north and west. The temperature in
time of frost rarely falls as low in
pine woods as in exposed locations
outside. If a hammock should be Sc
lected, care should be taken that it
be not too moist, as it is not good for
the orange tree roots to be wet for
any length of time. Very few growers
have made a study of the constituent
elements entering into the compost
tion of the orange tree and it's fruit,
and therefore have made many and
serious mistakes in fertilizing their
groves. This is accounted for largely
by the fact that great majority of
the orange groves in the state OF
Florida are owned by northern men,
who visit them only once in the year,
and leave them to be cared for by dis
interested pdTUloS, VIII CctI 2 llUOlC AO1
anything but to kill the time and get
the money, and many times il funds
are supplied by the owners of the
groves for fertilizers a part only is
invested, as the owner intended, and
frequently large part finds it's way
into the pocket of the caretaker. This
is one great reason why Florida or
ange culture has paid no better. 1t
has not generally been carried on
upon business principles. Too much
expense has been made for too small
returns. Of course the severe freeze
of 1894 and 1895 caused the best OF
growers to suffer heavy losses, yet 1t
was very noticeable that those groves
which had been fertilized and cared
for best came out in the best condi-
tion. From analysis it has been shown

that the following elements enter
into the composition of the orange
tree, and is represented by the follow
