Figs in California.

AS we have said before, we see no
reason why fig culture should not be
as profitable in this state as in Cali
fornia The California Cultivator says:
The old Spanish padres brought to
California fig cuttings, which produced
the only variety that was grown in
this state for many years, perhaps
generation. Like all other fruits which
they introduced, it was one of the best.
There are all grades Of fruit Of every
class; some poor under all conditions,
some poor under some, and extra fine
under other conditions. There are
others that are Of excellent quality
under most all conditions It is this
last named quality that characterizes
nearly, if not all, the Old Mission
fruits. These Spanish priests did not
know what conditions they would en-
counter, so they selected the middle
Of the road'' kinds, and disappointment
did not meet them at many turns in
their horticultural pursuits. The Mis-
sion fig is now one of the best grown
in California. Aside from the Cali
myrna fig, it is perhaps as profitable
as any when a wide range Of territory
is considered. 1t does not sour as
readily as many other kinds, and brings
on the market the same price as some
better appearing sorts.
The growing Of figs is in it's infancy
in California, for it is one Of the best
paying crops and its uses are being
extended each year. Great quantities
are used in cracker factories and, while
the Calimyrna fig is the finest grown,
it is too expensive to be put to such
USE The cheaper varieties must fill
the order for general use, and the
Mission fig is a favorite. 1t will ma.
ture its fruit to high degree of per-
lection over the largest known area
in California Of any variety known
1t will not sour where some of the
most prolific kinds do. The tree is
rapid grower and does not seem
to have limit in size; in fact, will
send it's branches down to the ground,
take root and form new trees, like
banyan tree. When trimmed, it will
make a magnificent tree, rivaling many
large oaks in size. It is very resistent
to drouth and will continue to make
a rapid growth where the White Ad-
rlatlc, for instance, will suffer.

The Pruning Of Citrus and Deciduous
Trees.


ming of the tops of the orange trees
is being generally practiced. Mr..
Chapman was asked when to do this
pruning and he answered, whenever
the time would permit. I understand
that he keeps man at work all the
time pruning his trees. Without
doubt this will be considered in the
future as much a part of the labor
in caring for the orange orchard as
cultivating and irrigating. 1t seems
certain that the thinning out process,
that some CLINT of sunshine may pene-
trate the foliage is absolutely essen
tial to the best vigor and fruiting, and
will less and less be neglected, as the
needs and habits of the trees are more
fully understood. There is one point
that must not be lost sight of, and
that is the work of removing the
numerous water sprouts that are like
ly to start out with a rush as the
trees are pruned. Their removal at
first is quick and easy. We can rub
them off with one brush of the closed
hand. They must not be allowed to
grow, and when larger the work OF
removal is much increased.

Answer to Correspondent.

A subscriber asks: Can asparagus
be grown in this part of Florida? IF
it can be grown, would it require ir-
r1gatlon? What kind of soil does it
require? What is the best time to set
it out?
Answer:-First; We believe that
it can be grown in many parts of the
state.
If it can be grown at all it would
need irrigation, in drouth the same
as any other crop, but not any more.
AS to soil, it is not very particular,
SO that it is not wet and is. we'll ferti1-
lied. You cannot make the land too
rich. We have several times quoted
sentence from an expert, which
The Florida agriculturist., 1907-07-10

struck us as the most forcible illus
tration of the need Of fertilizer that
we ever heard: "The profit in grow
ing asparagus comes from the manure
that you put on, after you think that
you have put on enough"
In planting, buy nothing but one
year old plants and set in the fall.
While we have great confidence in the
success of asparagus, if set on soil
which is not wet and that is made
rich enough, yet we should not ad-
wise any one to go into it extensively
until a trial had been made. We
think that it is quite probable that it
will be found necessary to keep the
soil covered with heavy mulch dur
ing the heat Of summer. We hope
that a number Of Our readers will
try the experiment next fall.

lonoinq For Home.


Amid the music, tlowers, and glare OF
lights
Tonight in vain tried to bear my part;
Blurred We're the lights, empty the idle
jest,
For thoughts of home alone have filled
my heart
The singing? Aye, his fame is passing
great,
They say his song was wondrous sweet
and clear,
But when he sang did not hear his
voice.
For other voices sounded in my ear.
The flowers? 1 only know that as 1
passed
Beneath fragrant bower, there
touched my hair
A crimson rose. and 10! l was at home.
Down in the garden midst the roses
there.
And tho bright faces gayly smiled in
mine
l scarcely dared to raise my aching
eyes,
Lest they should read the pain within
my heart.
And see the burning tears which fain
would rise.
irE
What matter wealth or fame? What
means new friends?
With old friends. midst old scenes
long to roam.
Naught else tonight in all the world
for me
The whole wide world only want my
home.
