of learning.
This question of size of trees is
a large one, larger than it at first
appears. 1t is question about which
there appears to be quite a diversity
Of opinions. I have tried to arrive
at some facts, for my own personal
information, and accordingly I have
talked the matter over with great
many people who have had expert

to put the question before the Horti-

a smaller tree will meet large one
on high, dry land; a small tree in
the hands of an expert will meet a
much larger one that is not as we'll
cared for on the same land. There
fore it appears that under the same
conditions a small tree will do as
we'll as a larger one with Indifferent
care, and that a small tree can b
more economically used on low, moist
land than on dry, thirsty soil. But
that has nothing to do with a large
tree being better than the small tree
on the low, moist land.
Personally, as I make my living
out of my groves and expect to do
so, barring accidents, the balance of
my days, and as I am still setting
new groves, and wish to do it as
economically as possible, and to OBJ
tain the very best results the quickest,

forth as positive facts.
In considering the size of the trees
we will assume that all sizes are per-
fect1y healthy and in most thrifty
condition. This is the first essential
for the planting and the success Of
any tree, and too much stress can
not be put upon this fact. Much de-
pends on the person himself, the size
Of his pocket-book, and the results
he wishes to attain, the land, weather
conditions, etc.

money and quick results are wanted,

ROSELLE MILDEW.
By H. S. Fawcett.

Rose11e or Jamaica Sorrel (Hibiscus
Sabdariffa) was severely attacked last
year by Mildew. 1t was noticed about
the first of November Those who
have planted roselle this year should
keep on the lookout for it. The
mildew is characterized as follows:
The leaves, petio1es, stems and some
powdery appearance as if they had
been lightly busted over with flour
or lime. The appearance comes on
quite suddenly. 1t usually follows the
cool, moist nights that occur about
this time of the year. The vitality
of the plant is probably weakened
bv the drop in the temperature, and
this renders it more susceptible to the
attack of the mi1dew. Leaves attack
ed by the mi1dew soon begin to look

to eat and to ship and will bring
more. An over-crop will break the
limbs, will over-draw on the vitality
of the tree and be followed by an
under-crop almost invariably. Heavy
fertilizing I think probable, cause
of foot rot; and as to gum disease,
I think I know this. The fruit is
not so good or fine, though there
may be lots of it. One can easily
spoil his fruit-and I don't know but
thirty-three per cent. of our crop
is annually spoiled, damaged BY too
much of something,-generally too
much nitrogen. Why don't I know
as to the other elements? AS to the
phosphoric acid I believe I do. but
I don't know as to potash; but I am

FERTILIZING WITH BRAINS.

better say kill our-no, your groves,

1ieve that foot rot and other tree ills
are traceable to feeding. I know that's
largely what's the matter with people:
I am going to side-track here and

how to eat, or what to eat under

once had a fine orange grove,
it had no foot rot to speak
of, it was fine; it did not

many people said it ought

I held them late, not being
over-stimulated the trees did
not throw 'em off, and I
have got ''big money for
'em, which is always the case
