trees that are bearing and they
will yield from so to 100 oranges

The Satsuma is a Seed]eSS
orange and for that reason the
method of making young trees
for sale is very interesting.
Mr.. Lacy uses a species OF
thorny orange which is planted
from the seed. On the young
trees of this variety. he gratis
the buds of the Satsuma and
in q short while, after the bud
begins to grow lus tily, be cuts
off the thofny tree and reduces
the tree to q real Satsuma.
To do this work requires both
skill and patience, but the result

weather and is a fine fruit.
The Eureka Nursery is not
what would be called an exten
sive plant, as the whole nursery
occupies only a small amount OF
ground. yet the economy of
space and the high state of use
got out of what land is in cultiva-
tion is a sight in itself. Besides.
the amount of product which Mr..
Lacy is able to put on the market
is surprising. In addition to
the fruit and ornamental trees,
culture of a large variety OF
flowers is engaged in and are
raised for sale.
The nursery is managed by
Mr.. Lacy, who is over eighty
years of age, and his wife, and
not the least interesting thing
about the nursery is the energy
and industry displayed by both,
it is a lesson 20 many much
younger people.
The nursery is not a large in
dustry, but it possesses the
high quality that it is an indus

Mr.. and Mrs. Lacy have been
very successful in their mod

should be to encourage this home
industry and where we can, pat

greatly to our interest also to

flowers from the Eureka Nurs-
