rank luxuriant growth, the first sea-
son | believe it attained height of
about 16 feet, with canes nearly an
inch thick, the next season the
canes grew nearly 20 feet in
length almost straight up. The
leaves on this plant are quite similar
to the leaves on certain rose plants,
except that they are several times
larger than any rose leaves, the leaves
being about 10 inches long on the old
stalks or canes; the leaves are bril-
liant dark green; the under part be-
ing covered with numerous purple
thOrns; the canes also are covered
with tens of thousands of purple
thorns, which glisten in the sunlight,
and which gives the bush a singularly
beautiful appearance. The fruit is a
marvel; it is so glossy and SO bril-
liantly colored as to sparkle in the
light; the color is reddish yellow; the
fruit is quite large, of a strange mys-
tic flavor which many people pro-
nounce superb; again others do not
like the flavor. This plant is a rasp-
berry; it commences to fruit with the
earliest raspberries, and continues un-
til Christmas. 1t is a greater yielder
than any raspberry known at the
present day; the fruit is valuable for
any purpose that raspberry is put

Digging and Shipping Plants.-As
much of this is done in the heat of
the summer it is necessary to handle
and pack the plants very carefully or
they will either dry out or else be-
come heated and spoiled. To dig
them strike a prong-hoe into the
ground as deep as the roots extend,
pry and loosen it up. Pull them out
without breaking the roots unneces-
sarily, pinch off all runners which are
over three or four inches long, plunge
them into a bucket of water and place
them at once in the shade. Have box
with saw-cut in each end deep
enough to hold string, and stretch
the string across about three inches
from the side of the box. Lay the
dampened plants across the string
with their roots against the side of
the box; this will give the punches
aeat, even appearance. Tie them into
punches of so, 100 or 200, according
to their size. In coolish weather they
may be shipped safely in a box just
deep enough to receive the punches
placed ON end, standing on a gener-
our layer of dampened sphagnum
moss. Crowd them in as tight as they
can possibly be crowded, to prevent
drying out, then nail Stats across the
top of the box, with spaces of an inch
between them to give ventilation.
If the weather is dry and hot and
the distance is considerable greater
precautions must be observed. Pack
the punches in barrel, half-barrel
or box, laying them on their sides
with the roots inside. Have a log or
section of stove pipe extending down
through the middle of the package

little fertilizer when grown on fairly

profitable investment they will not
have cost much to raise. A very diff
ferent tale has to be told in the case
of orange trees which are a great eX,
penSe and are an unsafe investment,
as the freeze has proved. Where my
camphOr trees are now, was once part
of my orange grove, but after the
freeze 1 grubbed up four or five acres
of orange trees as / could not con-
veniently fertilize so large grove,
and thought it a good opportunity to
reduce my acreage.
Not wishing the land to be wasted,
[ determined to try camphor trees. I
have never regretted my decision, as
[ am now able to fertilize my reduced
orange grove to it's full extent and
hope before very long to bring it into
bearing again, while the camphor
trees will, hope, in a few years be
bringing me in something which will
be very comforting should we be
again visited by freeze. I am so
convinced that camphor growing will
pay that I intend setting out $50 more
trees this winter. I should like to hear
that others are planting them too, SO
that in few years it may be amply
proved to be one of the staple prod
ucts of Florida, bringing in yearly to
it's producer the money it is so dit
ficult now to make in order to buy
the necessaries we are unable to grow
and cannot do without.
