Washington, July 7.—The grow- ,ing of the finest citrus fruits is a horticultural accomplishment mnot surpassed in any line of the art, says a bulletin today of the depart- ment of agriculture. There is a very long series of con- ditions, from the choice of the site to the delivery of the packages of perfect fruit to the consumer, which much be met successfully. If any link in the chain is broken, first place can not be attained. Therefore while every one willing to pay the price, either in labor or dollars, can grow oranges and grapefruit, only he who is so constituted as to de- rive pleasure from exercising his mental faculties to the fullest ex- tent can produce fruit of the finest quality. Good judgment must be exercised in the choice of the stock, the bud, the soil, and the lcoation of the crop, in the treatment of fungus and insect diseases, im plicking and in packing the frut, and in selecting a market or its disposal; but there are very few agricultural occupations that give as remunerative a return for the mental outlay. The growing of citrus fruits has attained vast proportons in Florida and is receiving much attention In other Gulf States, and many requests are received by the U. 8. department of agriculture for information om the methods employed. To comply with this demand the department se- cured from Prof. P. H. Rolfs, 4i- rector of the agricultural experiment station of Florida, a revision of a Farmers’ bulletin prepared by him eight years ago, when he was in charge of the department’s sub- tropical laboratory at Miami, Fla. In order to furnish this informa- tion in concise form the former pub- lication, with additional material, hag been divided intos three separate bulleting, in which form the infor- mation will be more available for distribution In the territory direct- ly concerned, and will be of more service to the prospective citrus- fruit grower and to the planters als ready engaged in that industry. These three farmers’ bulletins, “Sites, Solls, and Varteties for Cit- rus Groves in the Gulf States," “Pro- pagation of Citrus Trees in the Gulf States,” and “Culture, Fortilization, and Frost Protection of Citrus Groves In the Gulf States,” should be in the hands of all those interested in eitrus fruit growing. Copies can be obtained free on request to the 'rlnpartmf-nt of agriculture. AMERICAN WHIST CONGRESS.
