Answer: 1t is rather difficult
proposition to make roses do very well
OH sandy land. and we would advise
that you haul i'm clay and mix with
plenty of well-rotted stable manure.
If you will notice, the roses do vel!
on fatwOods lands in Fla, but do
not do so we'll on high, sandy lands
unless conditions are made somewhat
similar They need clay soil and very
liberal fertilization.
We are at a loss to understand
what is the matter with your Sweet
peas unless they lack the necessary
nOuriShment. You will find that COW
manure, if you can get it, will be
quite effective on your land.
There must be some kind of bug
eating the leaves of your rose bushes
and you had better examine them
closely. A little tobacco dust or stems
would act as a preventive.
The Florida agriculturist., 1905-12-13

Largest Irish Potato Grower.

In Hyde County. North Carolina. the
State many years ago cut canal from
Lake Mattamuskeet to Pamlico Sound,
which lowered the level of the lake a
number of feet and opened up a series
of splendid farms around it that for
many generations have been cultivat-
ed in corn, and today will make more
corn than the black lands of Illinois.
Recently this section has been devot-
ing some attention to truck crops that
can be shipped by water, since they
are entirely cut off from railroads,
and they are gradually developing in
this line. Probably the largest potato
grower in the United States is in this
county. Last season Mr.. Makely of
Hyde, grew 10000 bushels of early
Irish potatoes, and the deep, black,
peaty soil has been found well suited
The Florida agriculturist., 1905-12-13

for onions and other crops. While
Florida Savannah and Charleston and
other more southern points are devel-
Oping in the production of garden
crops, eastern North Carolina, from
its location nearer to market and its
vast area of soils of wonderful fertil-
ity. promises soon to become, if it is
not already, the great truck and small
fruit center of all the world, and ere
long will rival Holland in the prOduc-
ton of Towering bulbs for the florists
Use
The Journal discovered the fact
some time ago that North Carolina
could boast of the largest strawberry
farm in the world, and that Whining
ton was the largest lettuce point in the
world. Now the above enables North
Carolina to enjoy the unique distinc-
ton of not only furnishing the largest
strawberry and lettuce shippers i'm the
country. but likewise the largest DO
tatO grower i'm the land. Il distinction
of which the 'Old North State'' and
her patriotic and industrious people
are indeed proud. Score another vic

Roses on Sandy Land.

Since preparing the article on Roses

Southern Ruralist that fits right in

that the editor says that clay is very
necessary to the successful cultivation
of roses and also that they thrive on

The Exclusive Use of Fertilizers.

a reader of Rural New Yorker in
quired if exclusive use of commercial
fertilizer would tend to impOverish
land if used continuously, and was
told that if well-balanced fertilizer
was used year after year, so that
plenty of available nitrogen, potash
and phosphOric acid is added, the
soil will not become impoverished,
duce good crops. There may
be plenty of plant food in the soil,
yet crops cannot utilize it. Why? Be
cause the physical condition of the
soil is wrong. The most common fault
with such soils is that they lack hu-
mus, or organic matter. This humuS
warns the soil, lets in air, aids drain
age and also holds moisture. When
there is too little humus present the
soil becomes SOggy and cold in wet
season, and either bakes hard or be
comes too hot in dry seasons. Any
of these conditions make it harder
for plants to grow and take food from
the soil. Take a piece of brick. No
one would expect to put a seed OH
top of it and have the seed grow.
even if well watered and fed Grind
the brick to a fine powder, put it in a
flower pot, and again plant the seed
1t would make a poor growth, be-
cause wheH the brickdust was watered
and dried it would bake hard. Take
the brickdust and mix thoroughly all
through it from 10 to ID per cent of
its weight in dried clover leaves or
even ground straw, and the seeds
would grow and make good plants.
The clover or the straw furnish the
humuS which improves the character
of the brickduSt and makes it ''sOil.'
The use of chemicals alone, without
manure or green crops, would have Il
tendency to remove the humuS and
thus hurt the soil. While the illus
tratiOn is not exact, we might compare
such farming to feeding COW on
grain alone. We might give her all
she needs of actual food in bran and
cOrnmeal, yet she would not thrive.
because nature has provided her with
a digestive system which requires
bulky food like hay or other rOughage
to keep it extended and open.

Rubber Plantations Not Practical.

Many newspapers publish lony and
wonderful profits of the rubber planta-
tons in Mexico and elsewhere. If
there was any certainty of one-half
the profit that they pretend to guaran-
tee. there would be no need to adver-
tise for investors, The large cities con-
tain millions of dollars of uninveSted
capital that are looking for such Oppor-
tunities for dividends The American
Agriculturist publishes warning
against these fradulena advertisers.
In spite of repeated warnings from
Il great variety of sources, school
teachers, preachers and other persons
working on small salaries in the Unit
ell States continue to invest their saw
ings in rubber companies about which
they know nothing. According to Vice
Consul COnley of Mexico, theoretically.
rubber culture is a very alluring prop
OSitiOn. but thus far it has not yielded
any practical results.
The cultivation of rubber is based
upon the supposition that the supply
of wild rubber will one day be eX-
hausted or greatly curtailed but this
hypothesis is entirely uncertain. The
regions from which the supply now
comes are still largely uneXplored. and
the discovery of new areas of rubber
bearing vegetation is not infreQuent,
and may continue for many years.
Rubber was experimental with for
years i'm other countries before its
cultivation was undertaken in Mexico,
and. according to a recent report of
the United States department of Agri-
culture, the experiments have always
been failures. There is as yet no good
reason to believe that its cultivation
in Mexico will prove any more success
ful than it has in other countries. 1t
has been estimated that 1000 different
species of rubber trees contain rubber.
though commercial quantities have
been obtained from only 40 or 30.
1t has been found by eXperimenters
in other countries that Il rubber-prO-
ducing tree which will flourish in any
given locality will not necessarily yield
rubber. Para wild rubber is worth
about 30 per cent more on the market
than the few pounds of rubber from
the cultivated CaStillOa elastica which
have thus far been marketed.

$4,000 was paid for the Mrs. L. w.

price was quite frenZied. 1t is fact
however. that $4,000 i'm more than
one instance has been paid to secure

transactions recorded where from
$1,000 to $4,000 has changed hands.

PrOpagatiOn of ViOlets Increases
FiOiets come next i'm order and more
and more are grown each year. There
are both double and single kinds. the
double ones being. perhaps, most ia
vOred, although the single ones. with
flowers as large as a small pansy. are
superb and deliciously sweet. The
most famous viOlets are grown on the
Hudson. in the neighbOrhOOd of Pough
keepsie and Rhinebeck Single blooms
often are more than one and half
inches i'm diameter. They are produc-
ed by the million. and the majority
find their way to New York, Boston
and Philadelphia. while no insignifi-
cant number is found on the Chicago
market
Other flowers are lily of the valley,
which, by cold storage process,
is to be had every day i'm the year.
Then there are Easter lilies. orchids
callas. sweet peas, and other varieties
i'm season. Millions of tulips. hya-
cinths. narcissus and daffOdils are i'm
ported from Holland annually. AMI
the majority of these are forced and
sold as cut flowers.
This. seemingly. is a branch of flo
riculture that has not yet been de
velOped in America. Experiments are
being made i'm the state of Washing
ton. which promises to be successful
ChrySanthemums Have No Rival
ChrysanthemumS i'm their season have
no rival. and they are to be had in
all their glory from the first of OctO-
Der until Christmas. The chrysanthe-
mum varieties are numerous. no less
than 5000 being catalOgued at the
present time. Great changes annually
occur i'm the righting of any collection
In addition TO the hundreds of seed
lings raised in America and Europe
each year. the AuStrianS have perfect
ed flowers the like of which were new
er dreamed of. Many of the flowers
are eleven inches in diameter. while
many of the colors are entirely new
to the family.
Plants of various kinds are impOr
tant factors in the florists business
Among these are palms. ferns and 9th
ers known as foliage plants for win
dow decorations. which are in season
all the year.
The Towering plants mostly used for
the house are bulbs of all kinds, lilies.
aZaleas, geraniums, primrOses, chrys-
anthemumS, cinerarias and begOnias,
all of which come along in their regu-
lar season.
By far the greater number of plants
are used for Out-Of-dOOr gardening and
are put in the ground during the
months of May and June. These are
mostly roses, geraniums, verbenaS. pc
tunias. cannas, salvias, cOleus, aster
stocks, marigOlds. mignonette. sweet
alyssum, pansies. fuchsias, and many
others.
