STOVE.HeATED ORANGE GROVES.
Methods BY Which Florida Growers Hare Fought
Jack Frost.

The Florida orange growers have not
forgotten the lesson taught by the Sc
we're frost Of five years ago. which
played such havoc with southern or
ange groves, and abundant prepara-
tions were made for the last cold spell.
In many of the groves piles OF light
wood knots were stacked between the
rows of trees ready TO be lighted when
ever the mercury ran down dangerous
ly near the freezing point, while many
of the younger groves were almost hid
den in banks of sand. a branch or two
here and there being the only indication
visible Of vegetable life below.
In other groves the preparations have
been much more elaborate, says the
Chicago Record Row after row of
sheet-iron stoves .all filled with wood
and ready for the match, are seen in
many places. one planter having more
than 500 stoves in his orchards. while
other growers, even more determined to
give no quarter to Jack Frost, have
covered their trees up entirely, either
with cloth or waterproof paper. tackled
onto wooden frames The air inside
this enveloping material can be warmed
in few minutes by oil lamps or heat
ers made expressly for the purpose.
The most extraordinary device in the
whole state is that adopted by the own
er of about 600 acres Of groves in the
vicinity Of Deland. To carry out his
ideas he purchased a sawmill and en-
ployed "A large crew of carpenters, and
is now actually building a house over
each one of his orange groves. He was
already inclosed in this way a l5-acre
n.ata ell L.. tas Ia. 1Nn.g a..t
shed, and inside are the trees, looking
unnatural in the twilight, while at in
tervals on the ground are piles of wood
in readiness 10 furnish heat for the
great conservatory. AS soon as danger
of frosts has passed the sides and roof
of the structure will be removed and
