MARCH IN FLORIDA.
Calendar Of Work for the Month Of March on the Farm IN
the Grove Orchard and Garden.
BY W. Fl. Haskell.

This schedule of work is prepared more
especially for the benefit of the inexperienced
and those who have recently come to the
state, and is intended to apply in general
way to the latitude of ~ to e8 degrees. but
is adapted in some measure to like crops in
the entire state of Florida.1
The principle in pruning, as I see it,
is this: Remove live branches only
near the tims for the sap to flow, SO
as TO be heahed over in the quickest

By. P. ]. Wester.

The genus Cecropia, containing
thirty to forty species, indigenous to
the tropics OF the Western Hemis-
phere, belongs to the family Moraceae.
Among the more well-known plants
related to this genus are the flo the
mulberry, the Mexican rubber tree,
(Castilloa classical, the hop plant and
the bread fruit. ~ '''.N

Cecropias yield rubber, particularly c.
palmata and C. peltata. The milky
sap, leaves and pith of these two spe-
cles contain medicinal astringent prop
ert1es; the outer bark is used in tan
ming and the inner bark in making
cordagef the ashes from the weod are
utilized in the manufacture Of sugar.
Ihe aborigines used the dry wood in
making fire by friction, and made n1u-
S1cal instruments from the followed
out stems; from which latter custom
the name Trumpet tree" was deriv-
ed.
Cecropia palmata, the only species
OF this genus that, to the knowledge
OF the writer, has been introduced into
Florida, IS tree of rapid and luxuri-
ant growth, with palmately eleven-Iob-
