way, the frosts of past years here hav-
ing been so slight that protection of
citrus trees here is seldom practiced,
either when first planted, or after
reaching bearing age.
But it is the part of discretion, to
protect young trees; and the native
"~tules" or cat-tails, growing along the
borders of lakes and streams, make the
most ideal and safe protection. For
the stalks and leaves of this plant are
made up of just an aggregation of
tubes; and these myriad air-spaces
make it a most perfect non-conductor,
of heat, as well as of cold. And it must
be remembered that the winters here
are so warm most all the time, that
there is quite as much danger Of in
juring the tender trees by heating and
sweating. as there is danger from cold.

injury from either hear or cold.
Before using them, coat the trunks
with BordtahuM paste; ard after tyingsup
with tules, if wishing to be doubly sure,
But do not bank with mud.
"A few trees with tall, exposed
trunks, show light bursting of the bark;
and these should be painted at once
with Bordeaux paste; and these long
exposed trunks kept carefully protected,
till next years growth shall have spread
out and covered and protected them
