Now, as all life is predicated upon

any given soil is largely dependent
on its power to absorb and retain
those most important elements con-

when clay forms large proportion
of the soil, and its contained organic
material (humus) is above the aver

orally speaking, those soils which are
capable of arresting and holding the
largest portion of the rainfall retain
it also with the greatest obstinacy and
take the longest time to dry. Thus
a sandy soil will become as dry in
one hour as clay soil will in three
hours. This drying up of the soil is
effected by the evaporation of the
earth's moisture into the atmosphere.
To illustrate the capillary power of
the soil: When waterTis poured into
the saucer of a flower pot the soil

JAPAN WALNUTS
FOR FLORIDA

Nurserymen who have tested this
variety in this State, say that it has
done well, grows thrifty and bears
fairly we'll. The following account of
the species is taken from the Ameri-
can Nut Journal:
1t is not very many years since the
Japan walnuts were introduced; but
during the short period which has
elapsed they have been quite generally
planted. Not in large numbers in
any one place, but in lots of one and
two trees here and there in yards
and gardens. So far as we are aware
only seedlings have been sold and
planted, no named variety having as
yet been introduced.
The two species most commonly
seen are Juglans Siebondiana and Jug
lans cordiformis, and the first of the
two is the one more generally sold
under the name Japan walnut. Siebol-
diana appears to be quite variable in
form and character of fruit as we'll
as tree, and we shall doubtless event.
ually have introduced more valuable
variety, with thinner shell and 1arg-
er proportion of kernel
One of the chief difficulties in plant
ing Japan walnut trees arises from the
fact that they are too frequently pro-
vided with poorly developed root
system. Particularly when grown on
stiff lands, they are likely to produce
poor root growth, and better results
can generally be secured on we'll
drained, moderately moist, sandy
land. In setting them out we'll drain
ed soil should be chosen. Whatever
may be said, and whatever reason
may be assigned for the decreased
longevity of orchard and other trees,
the fact remains that uncongenial and
unsuitable soil conditions have fire.
quently more to go with the problem
than any other factors
For the home grounds and or
chards, the Japan walnut is very
valuable tree, and one we'll worth
planting. 1t can be grown in nearly
all parts of the United States We
are not prepared to recommend it
for extensive orchard planting or any
thing of that sort Sometime it may
be so recommended It has possibili-
ties, but new varieties must be pro-
duced before it can take an important
place in popular favor.
