To the Florida Agriculturist:
What is Espanosa?

For the last two years a seed OF a
plant variously described under the
above name has been on the market.
During the season of 1898 officers Of
the Florida Experiment Station at
tempted to secure seed, but either
found the parties advertising this
''starch plant 'out of the seed'' or
did not reply to the letter at all. We
are now told that there are $50 acres
of this seed planted near Kissimmee.
A few days ago MI. Geo. II. Wright,
of Orlando, secured seed of Espanosa
and transmitted q few of them to the
Agricultural College. For this we are
very much Obliged to Mr.. Wright, in
asmuch as he has helped us out of the
difficulty of securing such valuable (0
seed. But how crestfallen were we
when the seed were exposed to view
and turned out to be a common road
side weed, commonly called coffee or
Maryland coffee weed (cassia occiden>
talis) Now if there has been no error
in securing this seed, and if it is gen.
uine Espanosa seed, we will hardly
need to go to Kissimmee to find $50
acres of it. We would probably find
that many acres of it in every county
in Florida from Pope county north
ward.
We would, therefore, advise all peo-
pie who enjoy planting novelties to
plant seed of Espanosa yer sparingly,
and let it's value be determined by peo>
Pile who have both time and money for
Introducing novelties.

es have also degenerated into very un-
satisfactory conditions.
In my own experience the scald that
followed banking buds on sour stocks
in damp soils with the attendant raw
ages of wood lice that had been work
ing in the decaying wood of the
stumps has led me to bank as late as
possible and uncover early in Febru-
airy so that a large portion Of my
groves were unprotected on February
18th of this year.
In fact with stumps over six inches
in diameter still further stunted by
this freeze, l shall go slow in spend
ing much time and labor grating or
budding till the new sprouts give indi
cations of sufficient stamina to war
rant continued care and attention. as it
will doubtless be more satisfactory to
replace most of them with new trees
budded ON sour stocks.
In a general way these experiences
with sweet versus sour stocks have
been decided in Europe in favor of
sour stocks, and although the latter do
not make as large trees, yet thicker
planting of early bearing varieties will
produce given amount of fruit bear
ing surface much sooner and the
small trees will rally more quickly
from the shock of freezing if we unfort-
unately experience late frOsts again in
the near future. The common scales.
white fieS rust mites and red spiders
that formerly had so much attention,
for the present are largely back num-
bers, but the appearance of the cot
tony cushiony scale at Clearwater Har-
Dor, which is more deadly than all
these other enemies combined, de-
mands serious consideration.
Pruning and destruction of trees,
sprays and fumigation were powerless
in California to control or hinder its
spread, and the forlOrn hope of send
ing KOebele to Australia to discover
natural enemies, the Introduction of
Vedalia, the almost total destruction
in a short time of the scale so that the
Vedalia also for want of food became
almost extinct, forms one of the
brightest chapters in American my
chology In fact the natural enemies,
whether insect fungoid or bacterial,
are the only safe and economical
means of fighting the insect pests Of
fruit trees. 1t is true that before the
natural enemies have bred in suffi-
cient numbers to control the pests the
dis cted hOrticulturists will use any
spraying compound that promises re-
lief, but [ am satisfied the more active
compounds are equally destructive to
the natural enemies of the insects,
while some of them have stunting or
burning effect on the trees that may
prove as damaging as the pest itself.

Root Pruning to Harden Trees.

Root pruning to Harden Trees.
Editor Florida Agriculturist:
/ am especially interested in root
pruning as method of hardening our
orange trees sufficiently to Withstand
the occasional blizzards that sweep
through the State. And find some
references to the method in the Gov
ernment Bulletin on "Fruit Culture in
Foreign Countries" published III 1890.
1t seems that trenching is practiced
for stimulating the bearing capacity Of
orange trees and while not done al
ways with reference to frost it renders
the trees dormant during a portion of
the season.
In the report for Jamaica it says:
To stimulate a bearing tree to it's ut
most productiveness, measure a circle
around the tree at the outside Of the
branches, dig a trench and fill with
manure ''The effect of this trea tment
will be to stimulate a growth of young
rootlets, which will feed upon the en-
riched soil of the trench; the result of
this will be that a strong growth Of
young shoots will everywhere take
place amongst the branches; and, as a
final consequence, the tree will be full
of flower and fruit"
In Asia Minor cat the nd of Novem-
Der, manure is largely employed every
two years. These manures are brwied
in the soil at depth of from ten to
twelve inches round the trees, and re-
main buried and exposed to the rain
until the end of March, when cultiva-
ton commences"
In India, '"The soil is kept clean and
opeE by blowing and digging with a
pick, four inches deep twice yearly
For the crop that ripens during Febru-
ary-April water is withheld and the
soil opened up during April and May
The soil is at the same time drawn
away and the roots exposed during
fifteen to twenty days. At this time the
greater part Of the leaves fall off, then
100 pounds weight per tree of old,
moist cow dung is mixed with the soil
and the roots covered up and watercd
heavily, if rain does not fall soon; this
causes the trees to burst into bloom
and fresh leaves, thereafter the soil is
kept moist till the fruit is gathered.
The same operation carried on in De-
cember brings ripe fruit during De
cember and February following"
In Messina, ''The first working of
full grown grove takes place in Octo-
Der or November after the autumnal
rains have made irriga ton unneces-
sary. A grubbing hoe is used to stir
the soil, cover the weeds, and draw
away the earth from the foot of the
trees. The second working is in March,
when the earth is thrown back to the
foot of the trees. The third working
is in April, after which the land Is
