you figs with all kinds of neglect, but
they will give you more and far BETTE
fruit with care.
If you are going to give the figs
decent show, as you would your orange
tree, then pick out such varieties as
the White Adriatic, Brunswick, Black
Ischia, Blue Geneva, and last, but not
least, the White Marseilles. These are
all fine fruit and good bearers with
some care. But if you want a fig that
fills the bill for fancy, both in looks and
in quality, give me the White Adriatic,
large, greenish fruit on outside, but
most beautiful pink inside; and lusci-
Gus doesn't near express its quality. I
have known this fruit to cure on the
tree. 1t is as sweet as a preserve, but
a pleasant sweet, one that everybody
likes, and is firm for drying, canning or
preserving. But is is so good to eat out
of hand that it hardly ever gets to the
can or jar. Don't plant it, however, un-
less you are going to give it care and
fertilizer.
The fig is a gross feeder and loves
rich, moist soil-prefers the hammock,
but will grow on almost any good, we'll
drained soil, or will even do we'll on
high, sandy land, with plenty of water
and fertilizer, but you must remember
that it is subject to root-knot, so don't
plant it where you have been growing
cowpeas or any Of the bean family.
Some recommend mulching, but I am
not satisfied in my own mind as to that.
When the mulch is left on the yea1
around, [ find the roots come to the
surface and these soon become full of
rootknot on high, sandy land, and then
in time of drouth, unless watered, these
small rootlets dry out and die, and the
tree is much the worse for it. Just d
loose sand mulch, on high, sandy land
seems to give me the best satisfaction
under shallow cultivation with a scuff1e
hoe.
The fig will grow readily from cut
tlngs. In fact, the cuttings will gener-
ally outgrOW the rooted plant With
good care, one can get fine lot of fruit
the next year from cuttings or rooted
trees. have had them make a good
sized tree in one season. If you plant
cuttings you must get them when the
from November till the first of Febru-
ary. In setting either tree or cuttings
don't fail to dig a good, big hole and
fill in we'll with old bones, palmetto
roots, or oak grubs, and lastly mix in
two or three pounds bone meal, depend
ing on the size of the hole It may look
useless to go to all this trouble to plant
a stick, but you must bear in mind that
this stick will make tree. If a cutting,
plant at an angle, and just leave the
upper bud out of the ground. If you
have plenty of cow manure, your Sue
cess is assured in the poorest sandy
land, but if you do not have this, then
use a liberal quantity of some good
commercial fertilizer, containing plenty
of potash and nitrogen, and if water is
handy, don't forget that.

Fig Growing In the State of Florida
BY B. NJ. HAMPTON

The tree is a native of Western Asia,
spreading from there to Europe and
the New World. The fruit is simply
the flower, encased in feshy recep-
tacle, the inside containing the seed and
bloom.
There are many varieties, and like
the apple, some are good and some not
SO good. The fruit, as it is called, is
one of the most healthful known to
man, and can be eaten out of hand,
dried Or preserved. Besides, our Moth
er Eve is credited with using the leaves
to make the first dress ever worn by
mankind
Be that as it may, it should be far
more generally cultivated in the South
than it is Being much more hardy than
the orange, it can be grown over
much wider range of latitude than any
of the citrus fruits.
The climate of Florida does not seem
adapted to drying the fruit for COM
mercial purposes, as they do in Califor-
MIA, though [ have dried the fruit quite
successfully for home USE But it can
be preserved and canned both for home
use and for market. | don't know of
any reason why the fig should not be
grown in Florida successfully and prot
itably for canning and preserving pur-
poses.
1t is a fruit that is too much neglect
ed even for home use Not one home
in dozen in Florida has any at all,
and not one in hundred has enough
for home use. Oh, you of the Flowery
State, how much have you lost of the
enjoyment of life by not giving MOI,
heed to this health-giving fruit. You
who have never eaten the luscious
White Adriatic fig out of hand, fresh
from the tree, not to mention a liberal
dish of them with sugar and cream, are
falling far short of the great privilege
Florida holds out to all her people, be
they ever so humble.
SO many have told me they cannot
get them to grow, and I have tried 50
hard, too, and when [ come to look at
them, I find probably, but one little tree
set out in some obscure corner, with
the soil tramped hard all around it. No
wonder it don't grow; nothing else
would thrive under the same treatment.
There are some kinds of figs that
seem to grow and yield fruit in time,
under almost any kind of treatment,
while other kinds require some care.
Those that will thrive under almost any
kind of conditions are the Brown Tur-
key, and Celestial, or Sugar Figs, Botn
are small, but rich in sugar, easy to dry
or preserve, and fine to eat out of hand
Also the White Marseil1es and the
Common Fig, found growing in the
fatwoods, for which I don't know any
special name-somewhat like the old
woman's dog, who, when asked of what
breed he was, replied, "Not of any par
ticular breed, just dog" And it's the
same of this fig, it is of no particular
variety or breed, just fig. 1t is good
to cook and can, but I never liked it to
eat raw. It and the Marseilles look
much alike, being of a greenish-yellow
color both Of near the same size bit
