chosen, naturally moist, but free from
stagnant water. The soil should be light
and porous, rich III thoroughly decom-
posed organic matter preferably from
oak leaves, and as deep as possible.
The sub-soil should be self-draining and
present no obstacle to the deep pene-
tration of the tap roots.
The analysis of the best tea-soi1s made
by DIR. Shepard, shows the preponder-
ance of nitrogen, potash and magnesia
micas. Manganese forms a considerable
part of EACH but there is no sulphuric
acid, and very little lime. The presence
of iron in large proportion is noted in
the best Japanese, Jayanese and Chi
nese soils. The ferruginous property of
the soil has promoted the high quality
Of the Formosa tea. The Pinehurst ex-
periments have been conducted ON sandy,
clayey and bottom lands, on level fields,
on hillsides and in drained ponds. The
level lands have proved the best when
thoroughly drained, porous to as great
a depth as possible, and free from all
original acidity. 1t was early recog-
nized that none of the plats afforded
sufficiently abundant and quick plant
food to stimulate and maintain that
luxuriant growth which is indispensable
in a successful tea garden. CONSEQUENT
ly all the land has received generous en-
richment in a heavy dressing of burnt
mari in advance of cultivation A sys-
tenn OF soil treatment was adopted after
thorough study and experiment that
would, as far as possible, compensate for
the scarcity and unequal distribution Of
rainfall BY Understandings, subsoil
blowing and pulverzing to a depth of
Is inches or more, a gain of moisture
equivalent to fall of 10 to Is inches of
rain is secured. The supply of moisture
is further conserved by planting COW
peas between the bushes, in the autumn,
whose roots penetrate the soil, and dy-
ing not only leave valuable food for the
tea-plant, but render the earth much
more porous and capable of retaining the
moisture during seasons of drought.
1t is generally held that each bush
requires about is square feet of soil.
At Pinehurst it has been found desirable
to plant farther apart than in the East,
so that mules and the usual cuitiyators
conld be utilized. The plants are Dre-
ferably set out ut distances of 90 &
feet, in triangular planting, to facilitate
threeway plowing and to secure a
minimum Of unemployed hand. 1t was
found also, that the system of planting

perature should not be lower than 40
degrees f.. DIR. Shepard has proved that
variops species of The tea-pant will
flourish i'll the climate of South Carolina
where the rainfall is but 56 inches per
annum and IA temperature of 10 degrees
4. may be looked for in winter
Dr. Shepard's experiments have been
carried on entirely within the boundaries
of his own extensive estate of 700 acres,
90 of which are now set out as tea
gardens. The varied sites and soils ar
forded by the plantation have all been
utilized in scientific experimentation
with the different varieties of teas pro-
cured from foreign lands. DIR. Shepard
based his hope Of tea domesticition on
the fact that the tea-plant, Though ir-
dlgenous to a tropical climate, can EN-
dure very considerable cold. This is
evident from the botanical history of
the original Assam plant which even i'll
the remote and chilly northern islands
Of Japan has made itself a home
Though the natural result of climatic
change is to stunt the plant and shrink
the foliage, it has not necessarily les
sened leaf production. The smaller
tNastH VI lBt fdIlPlN
usually termed Chinese have given rise
to the division of commercial tea Ca
mellia thea into two distinct and widely
divergent varieties, the. Assalnese and
the Chinese, the many intervening types
being largely the result of their
naturalization.
As a result of bis prolonged and scien-
tific labors, Dr. Shepard has evolved
distinct system of cultivation and prun
ing, and has acquired thorough knowl-
edge of the habits of the teaplant, all of
which is of great value not only to the
prospective tea-grower but also to the
student of tea cultivation.
A question of primary Importance is
the selection of seed. LIN DIR. Shepard's
opinion, it is best to choose the nearest
approach to the indigenous Assam va
riety that the local climate will permit,
in order to obtain the greatest yield and
strength consistent with quality. For
delicacy of flavor, he recommends the
Chinese or Indian hybrids, which also
afford a very fair leaf production. Al
though either green or black tea may
be made from the same leaf, experience
has shown that each variety of the tea
plant is letter adapted for the ma11u-
facture of either one or the other Con-
sequently the intention of the grower
to produce green or black tea will in

HE SUCCEEDS WHERE UNCLE SAM FAILED
The Possibility of Tea Growing as az Industry
for the South. A Coming Factor in

(The Country Gentleman.)

To the Editor: 1t is nearly a
decade since the National De-
partment of Agriculture relinquished
what appeared to be an utterly futile
attempt to Cultivate tea in the South,
with the remark by Commissioner Lor-
ing, "The climate is not favorable for
it,.
Recently these abandoned hopes have
had a cheerful revival in an apparently
successful demonstration by DR. Charles
n. Shepard, of Berkeley county, S. c.,

studied long and earnestly i'm the face
of tremendous difficulties and almost
certain failure, to show the people of
the Southern section of the United
States how they may cultivate tea, and
better still, do it profitably The results,
which this distinguished scientist and
earnest philanthropist now announces,
appear to make the long deferred posi-
blllty of tea growing as an industry for
the South, a coming factor in the COM

The cost of 100 pounds of Oriental tea
seed, about 10000 seeds, varies from
$50 to 500, according to quality and
expense of transportation. The United
States Department of Agriculture, under
Secretaries Rusk and Wilson, has aided
DR.. Shepard in securing consignments of
tea-seed from far Asia. The Depart
ment of State, through its consuls, has
greatly helped in obtaining the best
quality of seed The most promising va
riety was brought from Darjeeling, an
elevation of 5000 feet. the aim being to
produce hardness with good-sized deli
cate leaf.
Immediately on its receipt, the seed is
planted out in nursery beds. Great care
must be exercised in selecting a thin,
rather light soil everything a harder sub
soil, with free drainage, near a water
supply, and to have the surface of the
bed rather below the surrounding land.
The top-soil is spaded to the depth of
four inches and then raked off level.
In the early days of tea-planting in
British India, lots of vagaries were in
dulged in. Sometimes seed was sown
close together and in rows, so that it
came UP in hedges, and sometimes it
was scattered abroad from the back of
an elephant, who was made to wander
in an aimless manner about the Land
which was to be brought under cultiva-
ton. Nowadays it is the practice in the
Orient to make the nursery beds from
4 to feet wide and separate from each
other by shallow drains, the seed being
sown with geometrieal precision about
6 inches apart In South Carolina, the
seeds are Sown 3 inches apart, at a
depth of or 3 inches. and in rows
inches distant from each other. The
ground is then wet and covered with a
few inches of pine straw or other pro-
tective litter and kept moistened, espe-
cially after the sprouts appear, when
the litter is all removed and the bed
kept free from weeds. A shade is erect
ed over the bed, as the young tea plants
cannot stand the direct sun, their native
habitat being the shady forest. From
25 to 60 per cent. of the seed planted
may be expected to terminate. In a
few months the young sprouts, of to 6
inches in height, are ready for trans
planting to the tea garden, which is best
done during the wet season in midsum-
mer by the ordinary methods.
In laying out tea garden, DR.. Shep-
ard recommends that level land be
