The Florida State Horticultural
Society.

We announced, last week, that the
date for the meeting this year had
been set for May 16 to 10 inclusive.
The place is St. Petersburg, Fla. We
hope that you will be able to attend,
the meetings are always pleasant and
profitable. We are not yet able to
announce the rates fol-. railroad fare,
but there will no doubt be reduction
to members. But in order to avail
yourself of it's terms, it will be neces-
sary to show a certificate of member
ship If not already on the roll, all
that is required is to send $1.OO for
each membership to the secretary, Mr..
E. 0. Painter, Jacksonville, Fla. We
suggest that you attend to this i'm
mediate1y so that there may be plenty
OF time for the certificate to reach you
before it is needed.

it as lawn grass, even here in sub
tropical region, is that it becomes dor
mant and brown during winter, Just
when we want a lawn grass to look its
best 1t is not nearly so rapid grow
er for pastures as St. Lucie grass.
Now the opposite Of all these adverse
qualities is possessed by the St. Lucie.
If change in the field is desired, St.
Lucie grass is as easily killed out as
crab-grass. It grows the year around,
except when temporarily set back by
freeze. Then if burned off or cut
off, in two weeks it comes out as green
as ever"
After this strong evidence in its
favor, it seems to us that you need not
hesitate about making pastures Of St.
Lucie grass. The lack of good pasture
is the greatest drawback to successful
stockraising in this state. We have had
some experience with the ST. Lucie
grass and believe that it's good quail

Some Good Things for AgFiculturist
Readers.
Readers.

The Agriculturist has III hand sever
al most valuable articles which will
appear during the next few weeks, as
so n as the illustrations ca1h be pro-
cured, beginning probably n Fxt week.
Among them we mention:
"A Description OF the Maitland
SQUAD Farm by Mr.. w. B. Willett,
who has been especially successful
along this line.
'.The Pecan Industry in Florida" by
Mr.. Chas B. Hulett, the travelling
representative of the Agriculturist, the
article being an account Of Mrs. C..
w. Jacocks' success.
''The Cloth Greenhouse SYSTEM =
being a description of the methods so
successfully practiced by Mr.. c. M.
Berry, Of Orlando.
'The Kalamazoo OF the South" be-
ing description of some of the celery
farms about Sanford, by Mr.. Hulett.
These articles and the many Of equal
value and interest that will follow from
week to week, will make the Agricul-
turist almost indispensable to the up
to-date farmer and fruit grower OF
Florida

Knights of the Postage Stamp.

Not long ago the editor Of the Ri
raj New Yorker mentioned the fact
that the Apple Consumers League has
helped the fruit growers. That it was
started as a sort Of joke, but had spread
and grown into a serious crusade,
which is developing markets and intro
ducing health, temperance and good
living. He said that able hands would
carry it on, but that he felt like launch
ing a new order, which he proposed to
call Knights of The Postage Stamp.
The terms of membership to be simply
pledge to use at least fifty cents
worth Of postage stamps each year in
writing plain, sensible letters to public
men. These letters not to be all con-
fined to asking them to do their duty,
but to also commend those who
actually do it.
In later paper he says that he has
had numerous responses to the propo-
sition, almost unanimously favorable.
We call attention to this, as it strikes
us as remarkably sensible suggestion,
and one that we would be very glad to
have our readers take hold of in
earnest. There is no question that pub
lie men, congressman especially, are
quite sensitive to public opinion If
each of you will take the trouble to
write to the member of congress from
your district and each of the senators
from your state, telling him what your
wishes are in regard to questions of
public interest, you would find that it
would make a great difference. OF
course, one or two letters would make
very little impression But you must
remember that you are not responsible

Mr.. Needs plant (see paper of

(Dioscorea batatas). Many years ago
there was quite a furore over it, the
Department pushed it, and the papers
were full Of it for while. My father
paid $1O0 for two little bullets the
size OF peas, but thinking the plant
was tender he put them into the cellar
for the winter and they died. This
ended his experiment, but more recent

It is perfectly hardy here, growing for
many years, but never forms any bulb

suppose. Without knowing anything
about it, I incline to think this failure
Of the bulblets was in the way of its
success here in the North, and very
likely it is of similar growth here
anyway The Chinese and Japanese
raise it in vast quantity for food, and
