]. B. Beach on Mango Culture.

In spite of all that others have writ
ten on the subject, Mr.. Beach is still
of the opinion that marching is the
only successful and satisfactory meth
Cd of propagating the mango. Writ
ing to the Tropical Sun, he says:
The East Indian mangoes are &C
knowledged by all who have eaten
them to be the finest fruit in the
world, next to the mangosteen, which
latter cannot be successfully grown
outside the Malay Archipelago and
adjacent region. The mango, how:
ever, thrives in the West Indies, on
any kind of soil and in South Florida
wherever it escapes severe cold. Mr..
VIM Fee, y. S. Consul at Bombay,
writes that the choice named varie-
ties of mango are successfully ship
ped to England, where they realize
enormous prices Therefore, it seems
that with Our vast home markets,
hardly one-fourth as far from the
West Indies and Florida as Bombay
is from England, the cultivation of
the fancy mangoes should become in
time as important as the citrus, pine
apple and banana industries.
The great obstacle which has de-
layed the introduction of the choice
mangoes SO long, has been the fact
that they will not come true from
seed and neither scions nor buds will
bear the journey from India. When
ever tree is severely cut back, by
amputation, either of roots or top, the
shock renders the tree particularly
subject to the attacks Of fungus dis
cases. spores of which are present
wherever the tree is known Thus a
vigorous tree we'll established in a
pot or tub, must be taken so that no
recently cut roots or tops may con-
duce to the entrance of disease. Hun

from that cause, and they all readily
recovered under treatment. Once or
twice the stump has died, but the
small tree always continued to thrive
on it's own roots. Rev. Dr. Moore,
author of the we'll known treatise on
citrus culture, published some 20 odd
years ago, cut down number of large
trees at Jensen and marched cuttings
into the roots, or rather into the
trunk underground; he not only lost
every cutting, but most of the stock

Having already eliminated the open
ground proposition, we confined our
