1t Sweeps the Field

1t is highly gratifying to know
that science has at last come to
the rescue Of the Florida orange
and pineapple growers. The last
improvement made in the protec-
tor patented by Mr.. Warn, is the
use of a simple wooden hoop in
side the tent at the top of the
cylinder, which holds the walls
Of the tent out from the limbs of
the tree and makes the tent
easier put on and off. This hoop,
together with the post that ex-
tends to the apex of the cone of
the tent, are all the frame work
necessary, and will not cost more
than ten or fifteen cents per tent.
The entire appliance is not only
simple, cheap and durable but
affords the only safe and certain
protection yet invented.
The numerous experiments
made in this state with tents last
season, prove most cOnclusively
that nothing cheaper or better
can be found. Trees and their
blooms were saved in Marion and
VOlusia counties under tents of
sheeting with ordinary lamps
inside. Trees and blooms were
saved at Barlow and other
places with coverings Of shecting
and no lamps or artificial heat of
any kind against a temperature
of Is and Is degrees.
Tender tobacco was saved in
Tampa under muslin during the
February freeze, and the crop
was not injured in any manner.
If sheetlng and muslin were so
etfectual IN every case what will
be the effect of eight ounce duck
water PROCEED with a chemical
| compound that fills the meshes
| and makes it more like leather
than cloth: The proof is conclu-
slvc and no doubt remains. Or
angc and pineapple culture IN
South Florida are returning to
their old place almost as quickly
as they fell away in the winter of
1894 md 1895.
| Hundreds of acres of our fine
young groves will never again
see the blasting effects of freezing
| temperature because they will
be under protectors that protect,
anu the orange tree Will now be
a far better source of income than
ever before.
Florida's largest growers are
ir the lead in getting their orders
in while goods are cheap and
before speculation begins.
Some contracts amount to over
| $500 and some who took small
orders a few weeks ago are hav-
ing the SIZE of their orders dOub-
led. These tents are nude com
pietc at the mills and the water
probing will be done in Ocala
and DtLand, Let those who
have frozen plants under barrels
beware of wooden protectors.
