Covering Tree Wounds.

Every little while a recipe for MAX
ing ,shellac wash for this purpose APP
pears, and one would think, if he did
not know otherwise, that this was tie
preparation most commonly used. l
doubt if one person in 100 who have
occasion to use such wash ever uses
shellac. 1t is troublesome to apply and
expensive to make. The shellac must
be dissolved with alcohol, which costs
too much for any such purpose, and in
applying it with a brush the alcohol
soon becomes like a stick. We some
times see recommended and often see
in use, gas tar, which has no place
and never had for any such purpose.
Many are the trees that have been
killed by it. 1t is too penetrating and
contains injurious ingredients. When
ever the application of tar reaches clear
around the body of thin-barked tree
it may be expected to kill the tree out
right.
Grating wax is good when it is plas-
tic enough so as not to peel up in cold
weather but is slow of application. Best
of all for ordinary purposes for COW
ering for the wounds and bare places
is common linseed oil paint. 1t is
easiest of all in application, it lasts for
years on the dead wood, and it does
not kill the tender bark or check it's
growing.-N. S. Plat in an exchange.

wounding sensitive susceptibilities, eX-
hibited a new species introduced from
the Cape of Good Hope, forms which
had really been originated by cross
breeding in their own nurseries.
''The best answer to this prejudice
was supplied by Dean Herbert, whose
orthodoxy was beyond suspicion. He,
like Linnaeus before him, had observ-
ed the existence of natural hybrids,
and he set to work eXperimentally to
prove the business of his opinion. He
succeeded in raising, as Englehart has
done since, many hybrid narcissi, such
as he had seen wild in the Pyrenees,
by means of artificial cross breeding.
If such forms exist in nature, there
can be no improperly in producing
them by the art of the gardener"

Wise Manatee Growers.

After making a rip through the
Manatee section of Florida AMI care
fully noting the conditions Of the or
ange crop, Mr.. w. r. Fuller says that
growers are acting wisely, and avoid
ing the mistakes which led to bitter
experiences in the past. They are tax
ing advantage of the great demand to
sell crops in advance, and nearly the
entire output of the section has been
already disposed of. The demand this
year is, however, unprecedented, and
he found the entire section which he
visited alive with buyers. The SUI
perior quality and large quantity of
the Manatee crop this season is at
tracing the attention of the entire
trade, and it is undoubtedly true that
the growers could sell easily as much
Mr.. Fuller was much pleased to note
the spirit of good feeling which char
year. They have no cause for COM
plants, as their crop, which was orig
inally estimated at 100000 boxes, and
later 125,OOO boxes, now bids fair to
pan out about 100000 boxes. Mr..
Fuller estimates the crop of the entire
State this year at 100000 boxes.

seem to give the satisfaction that the
Florida fruit dOes.'
The demand for lemons is also
strong. Italy ships from one to three
million boxes of lemons to this country
each year. Florida, and especially De-
Soto county, grows lemons. 1t is true
that the Florida lemon is not up to the
Italian standard, but it is a very good
lemon, and it being much cheaper than
the imported fruit causes it to be quite
popular in the market. There are
some who prefer it to the foreign
fruit.
There is a rapid increase in groves
in this part of the country. Freeze or
no freeze, drought or no drought, it is
proven that the growing of citrus
fruits as we'll as grapes and pineapples
are profitable success in Southern
Florida. There are many able men now
seeking investments in the State.

period of picking that the market is
generally over-stocked and prices low.

Importance of LIBERALIZATION.

''To appreciate the Importance of
cross breeding and hybridizatiOn said
Dr. Masters, 1--WE have only to look
round our gardens and our exhibition
tents, or to scan the catalogues of the
nurserymen. Selection has done and is
doing much for the improvement Of
our plants, but it is Ossbreeding
which has furnished us with the ma
terials for selection. A few years ago
by the expression new plant we
meant plants newly introduced from
other countries, but, with the possible
exception of orchids, the number OF
new plants of this description is now
relatively few. The new plants OF
the present day, like the roses, the
chrysanthemums, the fuchias, and so
many others, are the products of the
gardeners skill. From peaches to po>
tatoes, from peas to plums, from
strawberries to savOys, the work OF the
cross breeder is seen improving the
quality and quantity of our products,
adapting them to different climates
and conditions, fastening their produc-
ton in spring, prolonging their dura-
ton in autumn
Referring to the work of the early
hybridists, Dr. Masters continued: 1T
is curious, however, to note that objec-
tons and prejudices arose from two
sources. Many worthy people object
ed to the production of hybrids.
''The telephone office is still here, but
on the ground that it was an impious
interference with the laws of nature
To such an extent was this prejudice
carried, that former firm of nursery
men, at footing, celebrated in their
day for the culture, amongst other
things, of heaths, in order to AVOID

Early Ripening of Fruit.

1t is not so difficult to so manipulate
a branch of a fruit tree so as to cause
it not only to ripen it's fruit a week or
ten days in advance of the ordinary
season. but to greatly increase it's size.
The American Garden says trees take
in their food from the soil; minerals
dissolved in water, which pass from
cell to cell through the center of the
tree until it's leaves are reached. where
it is digested, so to speak, and is com
bined with carbon from the atnlo-
sphere and the assimilated food passes
downward Immediately under the

think [ may safely say that ripen-

but little attention until recently, the
purchaser invariably attending to that

would store them away in some con-
venient place, and frequently Gull
them over, taking out the ripe ones,
until they were disposed OF.
Very often such purchases did not
prove very profitable, though sold at
much higher price, from the simple
fact that the place in which they were
stored was not at all suitable for the
purpose; the principal loss, which was
by decay, being very great.

Groves of DeSoto..

A DeSotO correspondent of tie New
York Fruit Trade Journal, writes:
DeSoto county, Florida, will have at
least 100000 boxes, being a greater
proportion of the crop of 1890 than
any other county. The DeSOto roun-
ty growers are now selling their fruit
upon the trees. Some of the sales are
surprising. Here are some of the sales:

These represent but a few of the De-
Soto county groves. There are many
more that are loaded with fruit, the
fruit not being sold at this writing.
There are buyers going all over the
county purchasing all the oranges they
can get. Some of the grove owners
will not sell their fruit upon the trees,
but prefer to wait, pick pack and ship
