more on top Of ground. The remain
ing ten trees were planted without
CLAW. In twelve months the trees over
CLAW were twice as large as the others
and in twenty-four months four to
six times as large and as thrifty as
trees could we'll be. When the ten
without clay had died out seven or
eight of the others were large, thrifty,
healthy trees. Myself and others had
like experience. Clay may be had on
almost any farm, perhaps not so good
as red clay, but as good as that OF
Sumter county, and if similar results
be had | think all will be pleased and
feel well paid for trouble to dig and
use it. l have seen clay thrown
around orange trees with apparently
happy results. Leaves dark, rich
green, new growth, and while next
trees look quite different.

may be benefited and these trials of
clay may lead to good.
Even a few flowers are made to be-

fruit made to do better we will be
happier, and if better fruits, flowers
and vegetables in general way be re-

may be made happy by improving
some priced flower or fruit.

Is it Wild Hibiscus?

The New Smyrna Breeze says: A
sight to please the eye of the lover Of
flowers, and lovers of the beautiful,
could be seen last week on the road
from Hawks Park to Turnbull Ham
mock. One of the savannas through
which the road passes has several
acres of wild hibiscus (?). The plants
stand from three to four feet high,
with blossoms about the same size,
perhaps little larger, than the Chi
nese hibiscus, the petals a delicate
lilac pink, with deep rich crimson
throat. 1t is difficult to imagine the
beautiful effect produced in the early
morn, by the massing of hundreds of
these magnificent flowers, all a-sparkle
with dew in the morning sun. The
flowers are quite fragrant, but droop
very quickly when the hot sun strikes
them. Who knows the true name OF
this plant?

labor. A top dressing of commercial
fertilizer may be given the plants
when needed.
This is indicated by the diminution
of petals both in number and size, by
color of foliage and appearance of in
sects, which do not attack a perfectly
healthy rose.
1t may be that the clayey soil here
is favorable to the rose, but if so Flor
ida has enough of this class of soil to
establish an industry upon, that
would meet the worlds demand for
perfumery.
Expressage or masceration mightbe
done by individuals or in laboratories
with AN establishment for infusion
and sale of extracts.
The shipping of buds and blossoms
should form branch of the enter
prise and be conducted in such man
ner and upon such a scale as to con-
troll some special market.
We should be wise in utilizing Ma
lures gifts, as those nations which
are regarded as inferior to us in civil
ization and progress, when possessed
of equal advantages as to the soil and
climate.
1t is not temerity to presume that
the dear old Agriculturist will lend
the use of it's columns for discussing
the matter and arranging details.
Once inaugurated an unlimited in

ton would be more pleasing to wives
and daughters, or more sweetening to
the disposition of children than the
arresting of these evenescent Odors
for the delight of those whom for
tune does not permit to breathe the
fragrance from the living, smiling

turist lead in the movement? | am

Editor Florida Agriculturist:
Golden Flowers.

In this period of financial depres-
sion, increasing taxation and growing
demands for much that was formerly
classed with luXuries, but which pro-
eressive civilization makes essential,
will you kindly allow the suggestion
that an organized effort be made to
utilize flowers for profit?
Roses are exceedingly prolific, many
the most fragrant have nearly con-
tinuous season of bloom. When once
established the yield would increase
for many years, while the cost of Gull
ture is very light. The method Of Sc
curing the valuable properties is sim
pie and inexpensive.
The only fertilizer needed is well
rotted vegetable matter. Grass ii
placed in shallow piles will soon de-
cav next the ground. When roses re-
quire mulching the upper portion OF
these piles should be removed, the
bottom part used for the mulch. That
which was removed should be return
ed to the pile and covered with fresh
ly cut grass. In this way good fer

and feel it may be of some interest to
growers of same, and especially roses,
to give my observations on use OF red
clay to aid in producing fine roses.
Mrs. Wat Lloyds has for many years
raised flowers in great variety and
has succeeded fairly well. For some
years she has experimental with red
clay, which is to be had two or three
miles from her place, her land being
deep sandy land, naturally quite poor.
She thinks many flowers, fruits and
vegetables are benefited by use of
clay.
Three years since she bought two
Marechal Neil rose plants. One she
planted in her own (No. y yard, the
other (No. p she gave to her daugh-
ter in adjoining yard, soil same. No.
1 was planted in a hole dug about two
and half feet square, eighteen or
twenty-four inches deep, filled in
with cow lot and leaf mould scrap
ings, bones and other well rottcd
material thoroughly mixed This
plant grew we'll, seemed healthy and
bloonied tolerably we'll; the flowers
not decided i'm color or rich in fra
GRANGE, but inclined to be pale; did
very we'll as plant, not SO well as
a bloomer, and poor as a Marechal
Neil rose.
No. 2 was planted in same way eX-
cept hole some deeper and six or
eight inches of red clay put in bot
tom and good lot clay mixed with the
, fertilizer to fill the hole (same as used
in No. except clay). Growth thrifty,
rich foliage, profuse bloomer; flowers
very large, deep in color,and highly
fragrant, buds were grand.
The difference was so great as to be
taken for different roses. Mrs. w.
then had earth taken away from No.
1 and put a quantity clay around it
and worked good deal in topsoil about
the plant. Shortly change was seen
and bush. put on better appearance;
bloomed much better and roses and
buds much finer though yet do not
equal No. 2.
Mrs. w. thinks had the clay been
placed underneath the first results
would have been as in No. 2, which
she thinks equals any she has ever
seen. She has since prepared similar
holes in parts of her vegetable garden
and moved most of her roses and has
more and finer roses than any time
in her twenty years experience on
same lot.
She was having hauled a number of
wagon loads of clay to spread a heavy
coat over her vegetable garden 70 be
worked into the soil.
Experience satisfies her that her
garden will be greatly benefited;
that clay possesses fertilizing proper
ties or is a fertilizer and needed no
our sandy soil.
Eight years ago I visited her and
she was experimenting some "
clay and advised me to put one or
two bushels of clay under any fruit
trees I might put out.

Work on the Charley Ross mine
has been stopped for the past few

any time. Mr.. Andrews who came
last week to inspect the mine, re-
turned to Salt Lake on Saturday.
The mine is in fine shape and looks

the mines will come in at the
top of the hill, back of the mill and
the tailings will be held in a natural
pit formed by a small arm Of the

Some fifteen hundred feet below the

AT STATELlNE.
Matters Somewhat Mixed.


Matters at Stateline appear to be
mixed up somewhat. The Stateline
Mining Company has it mill running
again, though not to the satisfaction
of all concerned. A part only of the
timechecks and other obligations
which the Company had outstanding
recently have been met.
Under date Of the 9Th. inst. the
Tribune's correspondent there sent
that paper the following.
Yesterday notice was posted in
a conspicuous place on the Creole
blacksmitshop, near the mouth of the
tunnel, signed by Superintendent
Knight, warning people that he
would not be responsible for any
debt contracted for the development
of the Creole property, and forbid
ding any person from extracting any
ore therefrom. On being interview
ed by your, correspondent concern
ing the matter, Mr.. Knight stated
that the returns from the mill were
not at all satisfactory; whether it is
the fault Of the mill or the manage
ment he did not state, but said
tina, he could not afford to have it
treat any more Of his ore.
Mr.. Popkiss undertook to bond
the other two-thirds of the mine and
succeeded in securing the one-third
owned by w. ]. McBurney, and to-
day the mill was put in operation on
the Creole ore. and Mr.. Popkiss is
working the mine under Mr.. Knight
protest. However it is hoped that
within few days matters will be
amicably arranged, and the mine
and mill kept running.
Mr.. Lynch was seen in regard to
the closing down of the Ophir and
saysit was on account of Mr.. Popkiss
failing to come up with his portion
OF the needed funds in fact there is
quite a bitter feeling against Mr..
Popkiss here. and unless the mill
improves or he strikes something
richer than he has done. life may
not be altogether golden dream to
Mr.. Popkiss as the postponement OF
bis payday affects the whole COM
munity here more or less and works
q great hardship upon our merchants
