Palm Scale.

The brown scale attacking palms and
other house plants is the so-called Hemi-
spherical Scale (Lecanium hemisphere
cum). This scale insect is distinctively
a greenhouse pest in the East and North,
although it often occurs in California
and Florida out of doors on citrus and
other trees, rarely, however, in injurious
numbers.
This insect has been carried all over
the world on plants. In color it ranges
from light brown of the young to a
dark brown, changing to reddish in
the old SCALE The adult scale is hemi-
spherical in shape, perfectly smooth and
shining; and this, with it's color, readily
distinguishes it from allied Species
The remedy for this pest on house
plants is in fumigation with hydrocyanic
acid gas where this is feasible For
few plants, or where fumigation is not
advisable, the infested plants may be
thoroughly washed with kerosene enul-
sion, 10 per cent dilution, or even with
strong soap wash made by dissolving
soap in water at the rate of half pound
to a gallon the weaker wash being for
more tender plants. This application
should be repeated as often as neces-
sary. Two applications ought to effect
a pretty complete riddance.

WHEN GARDENING PAYS
Many Truckers Make Mistake of Try
ing to Produce Too Much.

A successful truck gardener has said:
'"Truck gardening pays we'll, only when
not conducted on too large a scale"
Many gardeners make this mistake every
year, which results chiefly in producing
perishable stuff of doubtful marketable
qualities to the neglect of the more staple
things. Feed stuff for stock and for
the home use should claim a just share
of the gardeners attention. So enthu-
siastic do some gardeners become at
selling a certain kind of perishable pro-
duct that everything else is overlooked
and they use all their time and energy
toward raising that one thing. Unless
one is thoroughly familiar with his mar
ket, such a course as this should never
be taken. The large profits often made
in lump are never so sure as the staple
commodities; and if the Specializing"
idea is engaged in at all, it should be
followed along conservative lines.
The wise gardener, says the Journal
of Agriculture, always sets aside cer-
tain portions of his land for the stable
old cabbage, tomato and potato which
will generally find some sort of a good
price in the market It is the unWise
man that uses every acre he possesses
for a crop which has only a chance
to do WE'LL and at that to get the prices
anticipated.

as yet unidentified species, have been
grown in Florida, and have apparently
done as we'll in certain places as in
California. Seeding eucalypts are ten
der in Florida; but several old trees
withstood the freeze of 1S94-5, and
doubtless, when grown closely, under
forest conditions, would be less liable
to damage from frost Many kinds have
failed in Florida on badly drained soil.
Full directions for the growing of
eucalypts from seed are found in Bull
letin 1876 of the California Experiment
Station, which can be obtained by writ
ing to the Director of the Experiment
Station, Berkeley, California.

FUCAIYPTS IN FLORIDA
Brief Description of These Trees Growing in Different
Sections of the State
By John BelIin6

dentown The blue gums were tender
and froze back several times, grew in a
few years Is to 20 feet high, and finally
died from the roots rotting in the soggy
soil during the rainy season. The other
trees grew to about 55 feet and then
died from the same cause Several
other kinds of eucalypts were tried in
the next few years, but after reaching
so or 60 feet they died from the rotting
of the roots. Hundreds of eucalypts
we're planted out in Manatee county be-
tween 1883 and 1895. Some Of these
were about Is to 80 feet high at the
time of the freeze of 1894-5 This freeze
cut back the trees severely, but the
main trunks of the large trees near the
river were unhurt and came out again
Since that year most of the old trees
have died, probably from neglect of the
drainage ditches In Manatee county
there are now perhaps less than a dozen
surviving trees more than Is years old,
and these are on the highest and driest
ground All the eucalypts which were
grown were tender when young, and
we're raised under 1ath-house in pots
The blue gum (E. globulus) was one of
the tendereSt kinds. Except the tender
est kinds, the young trees usually stood
light frosts after the second year, and
hard frOsts after four years, when they
would be 25 to 35 feet high Some
thousands of eucalypts, Of more than
thirty kinds, were distributed in South
Florida before 1895. Among these were
the peppermint eucalypt, lemon gum,
bloodwood, narrow-leaved ironbark, CT
der eucalypt, yellow box, white iron
bark, black-butt, red mahogany white
gum, broad-leaved ironbark, and white
stringy-bark The blue gum (E. g1ob-
ulus) did not succeed in South Florida
The red mahogany e. resinifera) and
the swamp mahogany (E. robusta) did
we'll, and were pretty hardy and vigor-
Gus. They might be grown we'll on
the sandy hills of Polk county, on land
that it is impossible to get too wet"
pecially during the rainy season, resem-
bles the climate of the West Indies
more than that of California. In some
of these islands may be seen large eu-
calyptus trees grown from Australian
seed. The blue gum e.. globulus) is
reported as dying out in the lowlands
soon after reaching about 20 feet in
height. The lemon gum (E. citriodora)
has grown to a height of so feet and
a girth of feet in about 7 years. Some
trees of this species had a straight trunk
70 to so feet to the first branches, with
a girth of feet at the base. The forest
red gum (E. tereticornis) is reported
to be good timber tree Eucalyptus
tessellaris is also promising, and trees
of this species have grown 90 feet high
with girth of nearly feet. The mar
row-leaved ironbark (E. crebra) has
also grown we'll in some places.

(E. vininalis), lemon gum (E. citrio-
dora), swamp mahogany (E. robusta),

ably red gum &C. rostrata), with other
The Florida agriculturist., 1910-01-01

The growing of eucalyptus as forest
trees has been so successful in Cal1for
MIA that groves Of these trees are de-
sired in the few other States where the
cold is not too severe for them to be
raised. Among these, South Florida
is probably one of the most important.
Different eucalypts grow in different
parts of AuStralia-from Tasmania in
the south to the tropical regions in the
north. Even in California some sue
ceed best in the moister and others in
the drier parts Of the State, while their
resistance to cold also varies much.
The climate of Florida is so different
from that of California, that it may
be that those eucalypts which do best
in California will not do best here, and
that some of those which grow badly
in California will succeed in Florida.
Hence we want to find out what are the
best kinds to grow in South Florida,
and on what lands we can best grow
these kinds. At Avon Park, DeSoto
county, there are a number Of healthy
eucalypts of different kinds and ages.
One mamma gum (E. viminalis) was re-
ported as 13 years old, nearly feet
in girth, and it's height was estimated
at about As feet. Three sprouts from
the stump of an old lemon gum (E. cit
riodora) had grown in four years to a
girth Of two feet, more or less, and an
estimated height Of about 40 feet One
red gum (E. rostrate), 1H years old,
was 9 inches in girth, and "a feet high.
At Punta Gorda, DeSoto county, are
found a number Of healthy eucalypts,
about IS years DID, One swamp ma
hogany (E. robusta) was reported as 5
years old and 81 inches in girth an
other, IS years old, was 1919 inches
around; and third, 16 years old, was
80 inches in girth At Estero Lee coun-
ty, there are to be seen number of
blue gum (E. globulus) was reported
as 2 years old, and IA inches in girth,
and was estimated at 20 feet high. Eu-
calypts may also be found at Eustis,
Lake county; Sutherland and St. Pet
ersburg, F1illsborough county; Braden-
town, Fruitville, and Sarasota, Mana
tee county; and Fort Myers, Lee coun-
ty. The different eucalypts differ so in
their qualities that there is not much
advantage in knowing how big a eu-
calyptus tree is in any part of Florida,
unless we also know what kind it is.
Anyone who has one or more large eu-
calyptus trees is requested to send speci-
mems of the flower buds, leaves and
seed-vessels, to the Experiment Station
at Gainesville, for identification. They
may be sent by mail as fourth-class

tee county, from whose nurseries thou
sands Of eucalypts have been distribu-
ted in South Florida, has kindly given
me the following account Of his ex-
perience with these trees: "In 1888,
