Improbable.

We found, in the last number of the
American Nut Journal, an item which
we do not think that the editor saw
before it was printed. We started to
head this, Impossible, but decided that
we would not go so far as to say
that it was impossible but that it was
extremely improbible The follow
ing is the item:
A tree bearing rs distinct varieties
Of fruits and nuts is growing on the
farm Of Thomas Claz :: in Bento I
county, just across thu Willamette
, river from Albany, Oregon. 1t is
ealthy and hourishi.4:
NJ Glaze undertook to grow the
tee as an experiment. and ty JEDI
cious grating has succeeded in pro-
ducing a marvel He secured all the
kinds Of peaches, plums and prunes
that he could and grated them onto
the trunk of a healthy, growing apple
tree. All the gratis are growing and
bearing. Then, as a further expert
ment, he grated an almond branch
onto the same tree and it also is
growing.
It is not account of the number of
varieties said to be grated on one
tree, that we doubted the statement.
For we saw only last week picture
. of an apple tree which is said to bear
over 100 different varieties of apples.
This is not at all impossible. 1t only
requires lot of patience and perse-
verance. Or if the stock had been
said to be plum or peach it would
not have been at all strange. But
it has always been said by botanists
that it is impossible to graft fruits
SO entirely dissimiliar as apples and
peaches or plums on each other. APP
pies and pears are closely related as
is also the ounce, these three are
often grated upon each other. Oc-
casionally they are also grated upon
the haw or even the mountain ash,
which is also nearly related
1t would be possible to take plum
tree and make two main stems, on
one Of these as many kinds of plums
as you desired could be budded, while
the other could be made into a peach

Editor Florida AgricultuYist:

EdttOr FLOr1dG Agr1cNttnr1st:
| wish to ask what green pea, be-
sides the Mcneil, does we'll in the fall
and makes a paying crop in Florida?
Is there any book on gardening or
truck growing in Florida, written by
one conversant with the same from
actual experience, or compiled from
published experience of others?
Is there we'll written article going
into details of berry culture in Flori-
da, by one who has been a successful
grower?
What has been the success attend
ing growing them under half shade?
Has any one grown celery, here,
successfully without irrigation and
how?

(The first question we cannot ans
Wer, can any one else? The only
work On southern gardening of which
we know is Whites Gardening Fol
The South. The original was publish
ed in 1853, fifty years ago. But new
edition revised by Prof. Nell of the
Alabama Experimental Station, is
very good though not written by
Florida gardner. Quite number of
thoroughly practical articles on straw
berry culture have been printed in the
Florida Agriculturist within a few
years back. We cannot give the exact
dates at this time We have never
heard of strawberries being tried I'm

Celery has been grown at Mandarin,
Fla, for many years, usually quite
profitable, though with occasional fail
ures. No one there has any means
of irrigating their crops Probably
they would have better success if
they had.
We should be glad to hear from
our readers On any or all of these
questions, as they are intensely practi-

Free Seeds.

Many of our northern agricultural
exchanges are calling attention to
the fight that is again on against free
seeds. The matter will be taken up
as soon as Congress meets in Deem
Der.
One of them makes statement
which we have no doubt is true and
which if true, corners each one of
our readers. 1t is: The sum wasted
each year on free seeds would pay
all expenses for full trial of parcels
post.
The original idea in sending out
seeds by the department of Agricul-
ture, viz the introduction of new and
perhaps valuable varieties of grain,
vegetables &C., was all right That
was legitimate work for the depart
which have been distributed, have
ment. But for many wears the seeds,
been the most ordinary kinds, such as
could be bought for five cents a pack
age at any seed store in the country.
The Seed Trade has an organiza-
ton and are making a determined
fight to end the destructive competi-
ton of free seeds with their business
They have made an estimate of the
number of packages sold by the trade
and the number given away by the
government. They claim that the gov
eminent is giving away almost one
third as many packets of seeds as
are sold by the trade And they ask
what business could stand against a
competition that was giving away one
fourth of the entire sales. This is
striking and forcible argument. But
it is not quite fair While it is prob
ably true that the free seeds are a
great injury to the Seed Trade, as
the packet sales are much the most
profitable part of their business, yet
it is also true tina the bulk of their

This Weeks Paper.

We have a letter from Prof. Rolls
giving the results of some investi-
cations as to the Umbrella tree har-
boring the white fly. It seems that
they do breed upon this tree in count
less numbers, during the summer.
Being deciduous, it cannot carry
over any to the next year. Possibly
some may live among the fallen
leaves, but these might be easily des
troyed by burning. Probably the best
plan would be to cut down and burn
the tree, wherever the white fly is
troublesome.
Mr.. Meade's letter to us and that of
Mr.. E. N. Reasoner to the Farmer and
Fruit Grower seem to settle the cop
peras question, beyond the shadow of
a doubt. We never had any faith in
it, but as we knew it could do no harm
and it was recommended by re-
putable man, we advised that it be
tested. Now that we have evidence
that it has been tried and found to
fail, the question is settled. In the
case where it was supposed to effect
a cure there must have been some
other cause at work of which the own
er had no knowledge.
questions Observation-Disclosures
Mr.. Embry asks some practical
questions which we hope that some
one can answer
The article above about the increas-
ing popularity Of the pomelo will be
good news to the grower of that
fruit
The description of the work of the
Japanese colony in Texas seems to in
dicate that they are an Industrious
class of immigrants, and would prob
ably be desirable citizens.
We also have some more Mango
literature this week. The Mango
seems to be like the orange, no two
growers agree as to the proper treat

We wish to call your attention to
