toes. This species is South Ameri-
can variety, and is found growing
wild both in Brazil and Peru AL
though known for some time, compar-
them, except for pickles, preserves,
and for ornamentation.
t. ssculentumi is the species from
which our commercial tomatoes come.
1t is thought also to have originated
in Peru, although it has been found
in other countries, as in Mexico and
California, in a form similar to the
cherry tomato.
While the tomato was known in Eu
rope as far back as 1861 but four vari-
ties were found in England in 1919.
In these early days it was grown
mainly for ornament. Prof. Munson
finds that the fruit was first intro
duced into this country at Philadel-
phia by a French refugee from ST.
Domingo in 1889, and again by an
Italian painter, come, Oalem, Mass,
about 1902. The beginning of the
general culture of the tomato for
market is placed at about 1880. From
this time up to the present the evolu-
ton of the tomato has been steady.
From the fiat, rough and angular to-
mato, beautiful, round, regular fruits
have been developed. The paragon
variety was the first to be developed.
Since then other superior varieties
have come and gone. One would think
further improvement almost an i'm
possibility, but doubtless the advance
ment of the past ten years will be as
great if not greater than that of the
last decade.

Many Stemmed Orange Trees.


Desiring to learn what plan pre-
walls in the training of orange sprouts
and how cottonseed meal is regarded
as a fertilizer by the orange growers,
the Rural New Yorker requested it's
Florida readers to give in their views
and experience on these points. The
most intelligent reply to the first
question seems to be that of a Eustis
correspondent, who says:
In this section when the trees are
young (that is, under five or six years
old), most of them were grown to one
stalk and this stalk budded. The trees
thus treated are now nicely shaped
and as symmetrical as they were be-
fore the freeze. With old trees, ten to
twenty-five or thirty years old, the
case is different. Most growers have
left sprouts growing all around the
trunks, and are budding from five to
fifteen or more of these sprouts, in
tending to let these grow as they will,
and expecting the stronger to crowd
the weaker out in time and to make
tree with two to four Or five forks
from the ground up. [ have seen or
heard of but very few who are bring
ing the sprouts together to form one
trunk. and do not think that many
are doing this. My opinion is that
the method of leaving sprouts all
around the trunk is the best plan. On
the large trees where only one or two
sprouts have been left, they have in
great many cases been blown down
hy the wind, as they have made
union only on one side of the trunk.
Cottonseed Meal for Oranges.
garding the use of cottonseed meal on
the orange the same correspondent
writes: [ do not think that cotton
seed meal alone is good for orange
trees. It will stimulate and make
rank growth, but the wood does not
seem to harden up well, and the trees
treated to cottonseed meal alone seem
to be susceptible tothe disease known
as die back. The same result follows
The Florida agriculturist. [volume] (DeLand, Fla.) 1878-1911, 1897-08-11


Where potash and phosphoric acid are
used in connection with the meal,
however, no i'll effects can be seen.
The trouble is of course in the badly
balanced fertilizing elements in cot
tonseed meal and blood and bone
(Which has very little bone in it),
they have great excess of nitrogen.
Our soil is especially deficient in pot
ash. Men who have mixed their fer
tilizers and made complete fertilizer
with cottOnseed meal as a source of
nitrogen, have no more trouble with
disease and insects than farmers who
use the ready made complete fertiliz-
ers. The only trouble is the excess of
nitrogen and deficiency of the other
fertilizing elements.
Another correspondent says: [ con-
slider cottonseed meal a good fertilizer
to force along young trees, but would
hardly use it year after year, as it is
certainly a one sided fertilizer contain
ing a great excess of nitrogen, and is
likely to make wood at the expense
of fruit, and fruit that does not ship
well. I have used on my grove of
bearing trees, with excellent results,
bone meal and sulphate of potash.
They make fruit that will carry we'll,
and seem to have a lasting impression
upon the land.
Sterility of the Navel Orange. -The
cause of the seedlessness of the navel
orange is thus explained In a paper
by B. M. Lelong, secretary of the Cali
fornia state Board of Agriculture:
The blossoms are double, having
secondary blossom within, and rarely
have any pollen; thus the exemption
of the fruit from seeds is easily ac-
countable. [ have noted with interest
the numerous writings of horticulture
lists pro and con, but in none have [
seen this curiousphenomenon Defined
Artificial formulation whenever APP
piled gave varying results, and when
the action was effected upon the owl
les the fruit was not modified, but the
Ovules grew into seeds, which, when
planted produced trees and fruit en-
tirely distinct from the parent tree
On this point Gallesio says: This ten
dency to sterility determines itself in
different ways, sometimes upon the
flower, when we have plants with
double or semi-double, or possibly
with simple and sterile flowers, some
times upon the fruit, when we have
plants with sterile or semisterile
fruit, for these fruits either bear no
seeds, or very few, and those badly
nourished. In all cases these species
of mules or hybrids show unusual
vigor in the thrifty branches free
from spines, or in the better nOurish-
ed leaf, or more beautiful pericarp.
These characteristics especially dis
tingrlish the greater part of the beau
tiful varieties, hence the varieties are
due only to an extraordinary fecun-
dation which acts upon the seed and
modifies them at the moment Of their
conception.
Cross pollination only tends to the
production of seed and cannot in any
