ment that is nothing less than amaz-
ing, even to those who have so anX-
iously watched it. The young trees,
thus arisen, phoeniX-like, from the
ruins of their parent stocks, are
thrifty, sound, free from pests, and
loaded with blooms and young fruits.
The freeze was a great misfortune
to Florida. Many hundreds of people
who went to sleep wealthy walked pau
perized in purse. But the people of
Florida were not pauperized in spirit
Few, if any, despaired of the state.
The vast ma ority-a majority so
large as to be almost unanimous, still
believed their state destined to be-
come the garden of the world, and
watched with confidence to see the fu-
ture unfold the proofs that their opin
ion was correct.
And now they see the light. The
loss of the orange crop taught them
to utilize other resources and in spite
of losses the state has been as pros
porous as others. Now it is certain
that in two or three years more Flor
ida will again have monopoly of the
orange crop so far as the United
States are concerned. The acreage in
California has been greatly enlarged,
but when Florida, within thousand
miles of the markets, is prepared to
meet the demands of consumers with
fruit Of the highest grade, California,
three thousand miles distant, will fad
that she cannot compete successfully.
Distance and transportation charges
are in favor of Florida, and they are
advantages to this state that can new
er be taken away.-Times-Union.

It was, doubtless, brought into some
of them at very early period, though
so far as is certainly known, no rec
ord exists of the time or place or per-
son when, where or by whom it was
first brought over. 1t may have been
introduced by Sir John Yeomans and
his band of emigrants from Barba-
does, who came with their property
and their slaves land settled on the
Cape Fear, below Wilmington, in 1865.
History tells of them as thrifty set
of people, who would naturally take
along with them supplies of such
seeds as they deemed would be Of use
in their new home. It. is known that
a profitable trade sprang up between
the new colony and the islands, and
even though they did not take some
of it along with them on their depart
ure from the West Indies, it is rea-
sonable to suppose that it was not
long before the peanut found it's way
to the colony at Brunswick. 1t is GER
tain that the peanut has been long
known and cultivated in the country
of the lower Cape Fear, and we lean to
the opinion that the early home of
the Barbados emigrants was the
place where the peanut was first intro
duced into the United tSates.-Home

Origin of the Peanut.

The peanut is a member of the Leg
umnosae, or Pulse family of plants, o
class distinguished by the papiliona
ceous, or butterfy-shaped, corolla,
and by producing its seed in legume,
or pod. The family is very large one,
including some of our most useful ag-
rcultural products. The botanical
name is Arachis hypogaea. The gen
eric, ar-achis, is of obscure application
to this plant. The word itself is de-
rived from PRIMITIVE, or without, and
rachis, branch; literally; without
branch, or having no branches There
are bu, few other species Of plants
put in this genus by botanists, and it
is not very clear in what way this
name applies to the peanut. But, hav-
ing been given to it, the name must
stand for what it is worth, which Is,
to distinguish this particular genus in
botany.
The specific name, hy-po-gae-a,
means I)IOUuCtu uHuCl NHO 8 lOuIN, '"N
pods being deposited under the soil to
grow and mature. The application OF
this part of lis title is clear enough.
DR.. H. W. Ravend, of South Carolina,
states that there is but one other
plant with the like, curious habit OF
Towering above the ground and ripen-
ing it's fruit under the SOIL But
doubtless the uoctor was speaking
only of ,Ae family of the Legumino-
sac, for it is we'll known that the Irish
potato flowers above ground and
ripens it's fruit in the soil.
The peanut plant has several Eng
l4sh aliases pea, ground nut,
peanut, pindar and goober pea, or goo
Der, sometimes spelled gouber or gu
ber Some of these are merely local
names. peanut is now the more
oenral name in commercial circles,
sometimes spelled in two words-pea
nut. DIR. Ravenel, however, says that
the term goober, or goober pea, be-
longs exclusively to another, but al
lied, species, the Voandzea. His de-

Shipping Florida Pineapples.


The shipping of the current crop of
pineapples from Florida has now been
in progress for several weeks, and
enough is known to justify the state
ment that the present years yield is
greater than that of any previous sea-
son, and the fruit is much finer in
quality than ever before known.
The bulk of the states crop is being
handled by the Indian River and Lake
Worth Pineapple Growers Associa-
ton, whose principal office is in Jack
sonville under the management of it's
general agent, Mr.. e. p. Porcher AS
the Cocoa and Rockledge News recent
ly remarked: There is great benefit
in organization. AS result of the in
auguration of the plan of organization
suggested by General Agent E. P.
Porcher, and his work in it's behalf,
the treasury of the association now
has on hand fund of several thou
sand dollars, against nothing previous
to the adoption of the plan and the
work of the agent
In a recent article published by
General Agent Porcher some very in
teresting facts are given about varie-
ties, methods of shi pment, and the
proper uses of the fruit. Mr.. Porcher
says:
eve have a very handsome crop of
pines coming on, and they will be
handled, wrapped and packed far bet
ter than ever before, and this is say
ing much, as we have always put up
the pineapples from this section neat
ly and carefully. We will now use our
new standard crate - 11X12X36 - and
the packs of the Red Spanish pines
will be usually 24s, 30s, 36s, and 4Os,
though we have some extra large
fruit that may run up to 20s, or even
1Ss to the standard crate.
"The bulk of our fruit will be Red
Spanish, the best all-around pine that
is grown; but we also have Queens,
Porto Ricos, Abakas, and Smooth
Cayennes. These fancy varieties will
be sent only to special markets until
we can get the trade in new places to
appreciate them and pay the proper
prices. Our pines are picked after full
maturity, and sometimes, when they
are showing slight color, so that they
reach the consumer fine and ripe, and
are the most luscious and the finest

completely with meat, and it is much
more difficult to split between the
fingers and shell than the other SORTS
1t is very solid and heavy pea,
bushel of it weighing % to 30 pounds,
while the standard weight of the fat
sort is only % pounds.
No doubt cultivation and expert
ment will in time develop other vari-
cites, having their own peculiar char
acter, uses and adaptations. The Gull
tivation of the peanut is yet in its
infancy, but product of such great
promise and capabilities as is the pea
nut is destined to extend into other
fields, and be found valuable for other
purposes than those already known
and occuried.
The peanut plant is undoubtedly
native of the torrid zone. 1t is un-
certain, however, whether it's original
habitant was Africa or South America,
or whether it is a native alike to both
of those continents. Darby, in his
Botany of the Southern States" says
that it is "a native of South America"
And Prof. Gray, who is very high au-
thority in such matters, likewise
states in his "School and Field Book
of Botany" that it came ''originally
from South America" Other author
ties, however, seem to express the
opinion that the peanut was first
found growing and first cultivated on
the continent of Africa.
The common story is, that this plant
had long been grown as an article of
food by the wild tribes of Africa, and
that some of the seeds of it were
brought to the West India Islands
along with, or by, the negroes trans
ported and sold as slaves during the
sixteenth or seventeenth century.
From those islands it was gradually
disseminated north and south, until
it spread over the warmer parts of
both Americas. This story has mel
ancholy interest attached to it, be-
cause of the associa ton of this plant
with the unhappy slaves, made to toll,
sweat and bleed on foreign shore.
But after all, the story, pathetic as
it is, may not be precisely true in all
respects. 1t is very unlikely that cap
tive slaves, in an almost nude condi-
ton, with no baggage whatever, and
suffering very often, as history tells
us, from lack of food on the passage,
would preserve from destruction any,
thing so edible and nutritious as is
the peanut. 1t is far more probable
that the plant is native of both
bemispheres, and that the negroes,
having been familiar with it in Africa,
on finding the same plant growing
wild on this side, began to grow it
for their own use.
This supposition, indeed makes the
African the first cultivator and the in
PRODUCER to notice, of this excellent
and important edible. And from the
best light that we can gain, we think
him to be fairly entitled to his honor.
The colored man, hitherto, has done
little enough as propagation for the
advancement of the world. Let him

he is not speaking OF variety OF the
peanut plant itself.
2. There are several varieties of the
peanut some of them SO marked as to
almost entitle them to be classed as
distinct species. The so-called Spanish
peanut is one of these. The very small
pods and dwarfish size of the vines of
this variety would seem to indicate
that it may be the original wild type
The pods are about one-third the size
of the common fiat kind, and the ker-
nels are nearly round in shape, and
look very much like the English or
garden pea. The color is nearly white,
and it is the best favored OF all the
peanut tribe It's dwarfish vines grow
erect, like the bunch bean, and it may
be planted two or three seeds to the
foot. The rows also need not be over
two feet apart, or just far enough to
admit of cultivation with pillow. This
variety is very prolific yielding big
cluster of pods to each plant. This
sort is quite largely cultivated in some
sections of the south, but it has not
become as popular as other kinds.
The bunch peanut is likewise quite
distinct in appearance from the fiat
kind. The vine grows erect, like
those or the Spanish peanut, but are
larger and more vigorous. A field of
it much resembles field of the black
or cow pea in appearance. The pods
are rather larger than those Of the
fiat kind, and growing all in clus-
ter about the main stem, they are
easier to pick off, and pickers can
gather more of them in a day than of
any other sort. The large size of the
pods makes them popular with buy
ers, and they are In good demand.
They may be planted little nearer
together than the fiat sort-ten or
twelve inches along the rows, and the
rows need not be more than thirty
inches apart.
Lastly comes the fiat, or common
peanut. We call it the common sort,
because it is oftener seen growing
than any other variety, nine-tenths of
the peanut crop-in Virginia, at least
being of this kind. This sort spreads
out upon the ground, and does not
stand erect, like the other two kinds.
Sometimes it's vines attain dame
ter, from tip to tip of branch, of four
or five feet. At the usual distances of
planting-33 by II or IA inches-it
commonly covers, when at full size,
the entire surface of the ground, so
that a field Of it, at that stage, appears
like a continuous carpet of living
green. The pods of this variety are
about as large as those of the bunch
peanut, but they grow much scattered
about upon the vines and not all in
cluster near the tap root, as do those
of the other sorts. They are not
quite so handy to pick off as the
bunch kind. The pods contain often
one, generally two, sometimes three,
and rarely four kernels each. We are
told that there is a kind, grown in
Tennessee, that contains, as rule,
four kernels to each pod. We have not
seen it.

Always Play cards For Money.

England is termed puritanical, {"
said a New Yorker who has been in
London a good deal, but English peo-
pie who consider themselves very prop
er do things sometimes which would
shock people of a similar sort in this
country. For instance, even clergymen
often play cards for money, and women
do SO as a matter of course. 1 never
played game at an English house at
which there was not a stake.
''The stake was small if women were
among the players, and possibly only a
few shillings changed hands, but it
never seemed to occur to any English
people ever met to play for fun. The
people were of the middle class, which
is anything but fast.
Fancy an American clergyman plav-
ing cards for money! He would be CON
sidered bad lot by many if he played
cards even for fun. And certainly a
young woman who arose from card
table with a dollar, more or less, of a
mans money in her possession would
be considered fast, to say the least. -

Restoring Grass Lands.

There are many fields in grass that
cannot well be plowed. Such are usual
ly left to get such fertilizing as they can
from animals grazing upon them and
the natural decay of some vegetation on
their surface. But sooner or later such
lands lose their mineral fertility, es-
pecially If mown and the grass made
into hay. Lack of the mineral plant
foods is shown by the dying out of the
valuable grasses and substitution for
them of MOSES which do not require
mineral manures Sometimes the surface
is merely hidebound, and running over
it with harrow will admit enough air
to give the soil new supply of plant
food by making its fertility available.
IL this is done, some grass seed sown at
the same time will probably in part
grow and help supply new sod. It
will be a great help if grass seed is
sown to follow it with dressing of
manure. This will protect the young
grass plants, which cannot easily or
quickly get rooted in sod whose sur
face only is narrowed. But some potash
and phosphate ought to go with barn
yard manure, as it is most likely in
these minerals that the grass land is most
deficient. If this does not run out the
MOSES, it shows that the land needs I'M

deeply, and stagnant water quickly kills
them. Moses adhere to the surface, and
thereby get what air they need to make
