The Bermuda Onion For Florida.

Mr.. A. e. Philips, of Sanford, writes
as follows to the Florida Farmer and
Fruit Grower:
Among all the varieties of the onion
family that is none which will COM
pare favorably with the true Bermu-
da plant in the mildness of flavor, the
early maturity, the symmetry of
form, and the ready sale in the great
markets. 1t is queen of the onion ge-
nus.
There is but one locality known to
trade where the genuine seed OF this

Another Tree Tent.

Capt. w. L. Morris, of Barlow, has
invented and patented a tent for pro-
tecting orange trees from the cold.
The following description is taken
from the specification sheet just is
sued:
This invention relates to planG and
tree protectors of that class that en-
velops the tree or plant to protect il
from the effects of the weather, either
heat, cold or moisture.
The object thereof is to provide a
collapsible device which may be fold
ed in order that the same may Oe ele-
waited above the tree and then unfold
ed so as to drop down and completely
envelOp the tree.
A further object is to provide means
whereby the device may be held foldel
or clasped during the operation of ele
waiting the device above the tree.
The body, of the device is made of
canvas or other flexible material, hav-
ing a general cylindrical shape, pre-
ferably smaller in diameter at the top
than at the bottom, or in the form of a
truncated cone The upper edge of
the body is provided with a hoop or
band and similar hoop is provided
in the lower edge, the canvas being
sewed or otherwise connected to the
hoops. A suitable cover, preferably of
the same material as used for the
body, is stretched across the upper
hoop; but the bottom of the body is
left open to facilitate the application
Of the device.
III applying the device pole, having
pin provided in the upper end, is
thrust upward through the branches of
the tree. as near to the trunk as pos
sihle. until the top of the pole extends
above the top of the tree, the bottom
of the pole resting upon the ground.
The protector is then collapsed or fold
ed, and is carried in it's folded position
to the top of the tree by the employ
ment of a ladder. The cover of the
protector is provided with a central
opening with which the pin in the top
of the pole is engaged, and then the
bottom hoop is dropped to the ground,
whereby the body of the device is ull-
folded and envelops the tree, and the
hoops distend the same, so as to COM
p!"irly surround the entire tree and
protect the latter.
AS the upper hoop is smaller than
the lower hoop, it is necessary to con-
meet the two together when carrying
the device to the top of tree and en-
gage it with the pin in the supporting
pole. In order that this connection may
be had, the upper and smaller hoop is
provided with a plurality of external
radial arms, having hooked outer out
er ends. When the device is folded,
the arms are adapted to rest upon the

variety are carefully grown and har-
vested for the market, and that is, on
the coast of Africa, in Teneriffe. There
is but one mercantile house in London,
SO far as the writer knows, which
makes a speciality of procuring and
selling the pure Bermuda seed.
This seed is very high priced on ac-
count of the great value Of the onion
produced. To protect it from all de-
terioration the growers of Tenerifte
keep it in sealed cans until planting
time: there is no doubt in my mind
that our Florida growers frequently
allow it to become injured by exposure
to the atmosphere.
MY predecessor, Judge J. Wofford
Tucker, over thirty years ago resided
few years in Bermuda, and at thai
time made arrangements to procure
the genuine seed each year through the
London house. .--.
The red variety is harder, and will
bear shipping better than the white,
and is more extensively grown on this
account | had onions of this variety
last year from fifteen to eighteen inch
es in circumference.
1t is best to SOW in drills in ground
that is thoroughly prepared and
well fertilzed. Any fertilizer that
will grow cabbage or tomatoes
will be good for onions. Sow
after Il rain; then if the weather
is dry and the sun scOrching hot, shade
the seed bed and sprinkle well with
water of evenings. At the period of
termination the plant is exceedingly
tender. but after it starts to grow it
has great tenacity of life. The Ber-
muda growers transplant the young
onions into fresh beds, when the plant
is as large as a goose quill, or little
larger. Distance ten inches apart both
ways. Thus cultivated, the product
will be very large.
In transplanting, the Bermuda grow
ers pinch off all the old roots, and plant
the bulbs lightly in the soil, just deep
enough not to be dried by the sun.
Plant after a rain. There is no great
advantage in planting very early. If
sown in October, with good culture the
crop ought to be ready for marketing
by or before the first Of May.
The beds should be made very much
the same as the seed beds, and put
four rows on a bed five feet wide, with
foOtpath between the beds, and never
tread on the beds. Keep out the grass
and weeds but do not cut down into the
soil with hoe. The young roots per,
meate the beds, and to cut them is to
infiict a great injury. Do not allow
any earth to be heaped up against the
bulbs, but rather hoe it away from
them leaving them standing wholly
on the surface as they grow larger.

Washington. June 10.-Up to the close
of business hours in the state depart
ment yesterday no word had come from
London to indicate that the modus Vi
vendi relative to the Alaskan bound
airy had been signed. The technical
state of the case is that the British
and American sides had agreed upon
the principles, as it was supposed, that
should govern in the arrangement of
the moius. This was based on a propo-
sition emarating from the British side
in its last stage. This proposition was
acceptable to the United States, but in
some points it was so vague as to war
rant the apprehension that it might
contain within il the germs of Disagree
ment in the not-distant future. There
fore, in accepting the British PROPOSE
ton in principle, the United States
specifically defined these points in a
manner TO remove any possibility Of
double construction.
Waiting for John Bulls Acceptance.
II the British government accepts
this precise statement the modus will
be an accomplished fact, and upon this
acceptance the United States govern
ment waits. 1t may come at any mo-
mert and it is subject to delay if there
is a further reference to Canada. The
settlement, if it proves to be that, is
viewed with much satisfaction by Of
Gals, although they say il is short OF
what was most hoped fora complete
and final settlement of the boundary
controversy. The present plan merely
seeks to avert possible clash between
the dangerous border element, but. it is
stated. 1t also will help along the final
delimtation, and perhaps, may be ac-
cepted later by the two governments
as the basis for the treaty delimiting
the boundary.
Boundary Dispute Very Much in the Way.
Or the modUs might be allowed to run
along indefinitely, though it is preferred
to meet the question of a permanent
settlement squarely and fully at once
by direct negotiations between the two
governments and remove this stumbling
block from the high joint commission,
which with the boundary dispute elm
mated probably can agree on the many
other important subjects before it, in

Washington, June 10. - Professor
Schurman, of the Philippine commits
sion. will resign his position as a mem
Der of that body and return to this
country in July. His views are not in
accord with those of General Otis and
the other members of the commission,
and, as Professor Schurman has come
to a full realization of this fact, he has
decided to sever his connection with the
commission. General Otis officially ad-
vised the president that in his opinion
Professor Schurman did not compre-
bend the situation, and did not seem
to realize what is required.
Colonel DENLY and Professor Wor-
cester will remain in the Philippines for
some months, as there is no friction
between these members of the commits
sion and General Otis. They are coming
around TO the views held by General
Otis. which are that parleying must
stop, and that the only way to solve
the perplexing questions in the Philip
pines is to wage a relentless warfare
