Comparative Qualities of Oranges.

Comparative Qualities of Oranges.
If we should print this article with
out credit you would almost certainly
think that it was the production Of
some jealous California editor. We
did find it in the California Fruit
Grower, but it is credited to the, New
England Grocer The exact truth is,
however, that the tendency to decay
is not inherent in Florida oranges, as
is shown by the fact that so many
shippers who take pains to have their
fruit put up right, get the highest
prices and no complaint of rotten fruit.
There is no doubt that most of the de-
cay which occurs in transit and after
it arrives at it's destination is caused
by careless methods of picking and
packing.
The orange season of 19O5-O6 opened
two weeks earlier than usual, and good
ripe Navel oranges were ready for dis
tribution by Christmas, an unpreced-
ented experience. If they do as we'll
this year they will find an excellent
market There isn't another fruit that
is SO we'll liked as the Navel orange
which grows on the sun kissed hills of
Southern California. Even the rich
and juicy Florida doesn't compare
with it in popularity or in selling
qualities. The Navel orange will keep
for shipment and dealers can rest as
sured that they will not lose seriously
upon Navel oranges before they are
all sold. This makes a vast difference
with the small buyer who has no ade-
quate means of keeping them from
rotting.
The Florida crop is estimated at
100000 boxes, the largest since the
last freeze. It is said that these will
be of excellent quality and that the
crop will begin to move early. The
Florida orange is better liked by some
than the California and where it
isn't necessary to keep it any length
of time it will do quite as we'll. 1t
has distinct flavor, but its predilec-
ton to decay upon exposure to the
air has made it rather expensive
purchase for the small dealer who may
not sell a box under three or four
days For shipping to the interior and
for handling by grocers the Florida
is not a popular success. The Cali
fornia will long be the favorite in
that respect. But the Florida has it's
friends and where consumption is
heavy enough to carry it out immedi-
ately, it is a popular orange and one
that always gives satisfaction to the
consumer
It is impossible to say how extensive
Porto Rico will yield this year. 1t is
said that it will yield better than last
year, but how much better seems i'm
possible to say now The new groves
which are just coming into bearing
will not send out many this year

crop, showing the Dewey to be the
hardest of all peaches.
The question is, do not these facts
point strongly to the cause Of the
general inferiority of the Texas peach
crop this year, which as rule was
not only grown on cultivated, but also
pruned trees, by which operation the
best buds were removed, after which
the best of those that remained bloom
ed and were killed by the frost or
dropped later, leaving the entire peach
crop as a product of the small, imma
ture and less highly developed buds
blossomed afterwards.
But while the above facts point
lower down on the shoots, which
strongly to the truth of this theory
| will relate an experience of mine
with the peach that occurred nearly
40 years ago, which bears directly on
this point and which has ever since
then been so incredible that I have
never mentioned it in print or private
or been able to account for it until
this year. I began trucking in the
suburbs of Galveston in 1866, and a
few years later lady friend from the
city brought me a very large and
beautiful peach which she said had
been grown in her yard. AS the peach
tree lives on Galveston Island but a
few years, on account of salt water so
near the surface, I thought she was
Joking, so the next day went to see
the tree, and found, sure enough,
very handsome seeding standing on
her Bermuda grass lawn where it had
come up by chance several years be-
fore Except trimming off the lower
shoots the second year, a knife had
neves touched the tree, whose SYM
metrical, round head was nicely COW
cred with peaches about like Stump
the-World, though larger and redder
cheek. Surprised and delighted, I ask
ed her to save me some of the seed
which the next fall I planted in a row
In my garden, where the trees were
to stand. All came up and in due
time were budded from the original
tree. The ground being very rich and
thoroughly cultivated the trees made
a strong growth, when one day, when
nearly in bloom, neighbor, an old
trucker who claimed to have grown
peaches largely in Missouri, suggested
that the trees should by all means
be pruned. told him how we'll the
original tree was, doing, but he in
sisted that the fruit would have been
still finer if the tree had been pruned,
and the next day brought me an old
book on fruit culture which strongly
ADVISED cutting off annually from one
half to two-thirds of the seasons
growth. Having neither knowledge
nor experience myself, he and the book
settled the matter, so the next day T
let my friend do the pruning, and

we'll do [ remember how it hurt to
see the long shoots with their bursting
buds topple over under his sharp knife.
But comforted by his assurance "that
all was for the BEST" as Messrs Dixon
and Watson assured the public last
spring, and expecting to see the fruit
all the finer for the thinning, I waited
impatiently for it's ripening. It came
at last and TO my utter surprise the
peaches were all of small to medium
size, with scarcely trace of the bril-
liant blush of those then on the parent
tree. Astonished like myself, my
friend suggested that the difference
must surely be due to my peaches be-
ing the first crop and the trees so
young, which looked reasonable, so the
next winter bought a pair of strong
shears and suspecting that my friend
had left too much wood, which the
book specially cautioned against, l
concluded to do the pruning myself,
the first [ ever did, When [ got
through, the biggest part of the tree
was on the ground and not a shoot Of
any size overlooked. But all in vain,
for the peaches ripened up just as be-
fore and when I took my lady friend
a basket she would not believe they
were grown from her tree, then load
ed with it's splendid fruit.
But to make my story short, my
trees bore four crops, all just alike,
the trees being pruned as before each
year, and ground cultivated frequently,
after which they died, as had the
parent tree from salt water at the
roots. Now all the while [ racked my
brain for an explanation, and hun
dreds Of times since down to last
spring, when it looks like my Dewey
tree had given it, viz: too severe prun-
ing in winter the main cause, and cult
walton the secondary. While we'll
aware that destruction of the surface
roots will reduce the size of fruit the
depreciation from that cause alone
was so great in the above instance
that it has always been a mystery
If anyone doubts this effect of Guilt
walton let him explain why my old
Hitchcock sod orchard always took
first premium at Dallas State Fair as
long as its pears were exhibited. But
as all cultivated peach trees must be
pruned Or grow beyond all bounds
and over-bear, when must such trees
be pruned? Plainly in late summer,
preferably September, when growth
has ceased, but sap still in melton
sufficient to allow the trees to fully
develop the fruit buds left While
pruning, they may stimulate slight
new growth; it will do no harm. I
am perfectly confident that this treat
mem would add very largely to the
size and color Of all the early varie-
ties every year and all fruit growers
should give it a trial.
