Wood Am tbs and “ Bitterns” fob Fan it Terrs.— 
A correspondent from Syracuse, N. Y , aeka if it will pay 
to apply wood ashes, costing fifteen cents per buahei, to 
pear nnd apple trees; also if refuse salt, called “bit¬ 
terns,” is of any value to fruit trees. Wood ashes are 
one of the most valuable of all fertilizers to apply to 
frnit trees. On long cultivated soil they are especially 
valuable, because they are made of the ash or mineral 
elements of wood, and replace what may have been ex¬ 
tracted to an undue extent by lo: L ; continued cropping. 
For quince, pear and apple trees we consider them cheap 
fertilizers at any ordinary price. We should apply a 
bushel to a square rod, having for Its center the stem of 
the tree, and the dressing would need repeating once in 
three or four years. The “ bitterns " arc of less vulne.

Our correspondent haB given us a number of 
questions, some of them In a measure difficult of 
direet answer, and should our replies to the inqui¬ 
ries appear incorrect to auy of our readers, wc 
trust they will at once come to the rescue. 
And flrst we will say to 14 S. 8., n if you are about 
to plant ornamental trees for the purpose of embel¬ 
lishing grounds designed for an extensive park, and 
your knowledge of trees is no greater than may be 
inferred from your questions, then the first and best 
investment yon can make will be to employ some 
capable landscape gardener — not a man who can 
drees up a flower bed or foot path, and from having 
obtained a mechanical knowledge calls himself a 
gardener, bat one who, having studied tree and 
foliage, light and Bhadc, in connection with orna¬ 
mentation for immediate as well as a permanent 
result, ean go apon yonr ground and designate the 
kind of tree as well as the position it should occupy. 
Bo not go hastily at yonr work, planting trees at 
distances and in positions which a growth of fifteen 
years or less will render necessary to be removed, 
or by their want of foliage and form in association, 
cause yon to regret rather than feel a pride in your 
work. Having said so much bv the wav of caution

Grapb Vinks on Trees.— It is an easy matter to lead 
grape vines on to single trees, and in this way considera¬ 
ble fruit may be grown at little expense. Low headed, 
spreading trees are best for this pnrpose, like the apple 
or butternut. The vine should be planted in good soil 
several feet distant from the trunk, and a singie cane led 
up u pole to some stroDg limb, whence it will soon 
spread over the entire head of the tree. Tbe stem of the 
vine should be protected against injury from stock 
Vine covered trees would add to the pictnresqneness of 
many landscapes, and repay the cost aside from the fruit, 
but we wouldn’t advise any one to grow less vines in his 
garden or vineyard on aceennt. of covering a few unsight¬ 
ly trees with them.

they would mutilate more or less trees. The third 
winter we had better success, by leaving corn stand¬ 
ing on the hill, and watching and shooting. Last 
year we rested in fancied security, having washed 
the trees, on freezing up, with strong soft, soap, 
mixed with sulphur. The flrst we knew, they had 
peeled several of our finest trees. So, out of sev¬ 
enty-five trees, we have less than a dozen, all the 
balance having been destroyed by the 44 pesky crit¬ 
ters.” This is not all; they have destroyed lota oi 
other trees and shrubs, by which we set a great 
store. Oar experience has been duplicated by nearly 
all our neighbors, who have made the attempt to 
raise trees and shrubbery. Even miles out on the 
open prairie they have not been free from their 
depredations. 
We have at last found out a simple way to prevent 
their ravages. It is to encase the tree in lath, tied 
together with annealed wire. This device was de¬ 
scribed some months since in the Rural. We have 
just finished putting 44 protectors” around our trees. 
Any one who has been troubled with rabbits ought 
to visit onr orchard and see the trees with their 
winter jackets on. My boy, twelve years old, made 
the 0 vercoats for my trees. He makes them rapidly, 
out of strip lath and wire, and they will last for 
years if property stored away when not in nee. 
They cost, in material and making, from one to five 
cents, according to size of trees. No patent. An y 
one can make and use 44 Fairchild’s Tree Protector.”

tree, it is impossible at present to arrive at any very 
satisfactory conclusion. This Is partly because there 
has been no systematic mode of culture pursued, 
and the real production has varied greatly in differ¬ 
ent groves; bnt mainly because people in Florida 
never weigh, measure, or count anything, and really 
have no idea how many oranges one of their trees 
produces. Some of the old trees at St. Augu>tine 
are said to have produced annually at least f\000 
oranges each. Mr. C. F. Reed of Mandarin, on the 
St. John’B River, gathered 13, CM' from three trees 
last year, one tree bearing 3,300*another o,:i00, and 
the third 6,500. I have been told that thrifty trees 
sometimes hear as many as 1,000 oranges the. third 
year from the bud, but such productiveness I think 
must be rare. The conclusion I have arrived at, 
from personal observation, is that a well-plan ted and 
properly cultivated grove at ten years of age will 
average 3,000 oranges per tree. Taking one half of 
this, however, as a basis of calculation, ten acres 
will produce 1,000,000, which, at $25 per thousand, 
the loumt price of the last season in Jacksonville, 
amouuts to 1*35,000. The crop of the present season 
has in some cases been bargained for iu advance for 
$25 per thousand at the grove. 
Florida oranges are the best in the world, and will 
always command the highest price in all markets. 
Some of the beet were sold in Jacksonville during 
the last winter as high as $50 per thousand. 
It should be observed here, that north of the 
twenty-eighth parallel of latitude, crops are occa¬ 
sionally cut off by frost; but a total failure from

A OORBK8PONDENT of the Iowa Homestead says 
the onion crop of 44 Lower Egypt” is one of the most 
important and remunerative crops in that portion of 
the State of Illinois, Probably no crop is more 
easily raised, and none meets a more ready demand 
in the market. Two dollars per bushel has been 
heretofore (Binoc the war commenced, at least,) a 
common price for onions delivered at almost any 
railroad station in 8onthern Illinois; hut at the 
present time they are worth only one dollar. Even 
at the low price which they command at thepresent 
time, the crop is remunerative. The 44 multipliers’ 
are raised chiefly; aud the sets, and not seed, are 
planted for the crop. They are set late in the Fall, 
after all other farm work is over—the later the bet¬ 
ter—und after ail other crops are taken off the 
ground. They start early in the Spring, and some¬ 
times in the latter port of Winter, before anything 
else thinks of it, and require hut little labor to keep 
them clean until they mature, which is from the flint 
to the middle of June, when they are gathered, and 
the ground is ready for another crop. 
So that, in fact, they are not in the way of any 
other crop, during their whole season of growth; as 
the season least adapted to other crops suits them the 
best. The usual crop is about 300 bushels per acre. 
Sometimes it exceeds that amount, and frequently 
falls short - , depending very much upon circum¬ 
stances, like other crops. The setting and gathering 
are the principal items of labor connected with their 
production. The care, while growing, is but a trifle. 
When the crop is gathered aud marketed, the email 
onions are selected for sets; and from each set comes 
several onions. The ouiods grow very iar^e and 
have rather more neck than onions from seedT They 
are ruther more mild In taste. But observation will 
prove to any person, that onions, grown in a warm 
climate, are more mild in taste than those grown in 
a cold climate. A clay loam seems to suit them well. 
VARIETIES. 
The variety moat extensively planted in Florida, 
I think, is the China, believed to have been intro¬ 
duced into Europe and thence into Florida from the 
country from which it takes its name. It has a thin, 
smooth rind, and is very juicy. The 8t Michael is a 
sub-variety of the Chino. 
The Portugal or Lisbon orange is nearly round, 
and has a thick rind. 
The Maltese or Blood orange is remarkable for the 
red color of its pulp. I have seen but few of this 
variety in Florida. 
The Tangerine is a small flat frnit about half the 
size of the common orange, with a pleasant odor and 
a very tine flavor. 
The Mandarin orange, recently introduced from 
China, has a fruit much broader than long, a thick 
rind loosely attached to the flesh, and much smaller 
leaves thao other BOrts. It iB classed by some as a 
distinct species (Citrus nobilis.) It is one of the 
best kinds. 
FACTS AND FIGURES. 
The cost of planting an orange orchard must vary 
greatly in different localities, depeudlng partly upon 
the original condition of the land and partly upon 
the expense of getting Die trees from the wild grove. 
Formerly the wild trees were considered as free to 
everybody, and people wishing a few to plant dug 
wherever they pleased; but now they are beginning 
to have a market value. It is not in all cases con¬ 
venient or possible for a person to buy land with 
wild groves on ik A certain sum, then, must be 
allowed for stocks. 
One gentleman with whom I am acquainted, and 
who has already planted several acres, estimates the 
cost in his case as o*»ly $35 per acre. He does uot, 
however, include the cost of clearing the land. I 
estimate as follows for ten acres of fresh hammock 
land with its natural forest growth upon it: 
Cost of ten acres at $10 per acre.$100

The use of the ground for other crops will fully 
pay for all the cultivation the grove will require for 
the first three years, after which there will be an in¬ 
come from the grove itself. 
With regard to the product!veaesa of the orsuage- 
A writer in the American Naturalist gives the 
following account of the banana :— 44 The banana is 
the best and most important of all tropical fruits 
found in the tropics of every continent, and univer¬ 
sally cherished by the people whose meat it is. 
Every one would know a banana at sight, and yet 
the pictures of the plant, even in our best text 
books, are very faulty. One of the common geo¬ 
graphies represents it os bearing two bunches of 
lruit; another, as having a distinct stem. 
44 Whem the cutting or shoot is planted (and it re- 
qniee a deep, rich earth and much moisture to grow 
in perfection) it soon semis up two leaves, tightly 
rolled together, until the green roll has grown some 
two or three feet, when the blades unroll, and be¬ 
come most tempting food tor cattle of all aorta. 
These leaves are followed by others until the sterna 
of the leaves have formed a smooth trunk some 
eight or ten inches thick, and sheathed by the dry¬ 
ing or dead remains of the earlier leaves. At the 
end of nine months a deep purple bud appears in 
the leaves, and its constantly lengthening stem 
pushes it out beyond the leafy envelopes, and it 
hangs down heavily like a huge heart. Now along 
the stem are seen little protuberances in rows, ex¬ 
tending perhaps two-thirds of the way around the 
stem; aud as the great purple envelopes of the bud 
fall off, these are seen to be little fruits, each with a 
waxen blossom and huge projecting stigma at the 
end. These are the female flowers farthest from the 
stem, while as successive purple leaves fall off (you 
may see the sears they leave on any bunch of ba¬ 
nanas) the male flowers are seen iu closer rows and 
of the same waxen yellow color. The flowers are 
full of a good honey. Three or four months are re¬ 
quired to ripen the fruit, and in the meantime the 
bunch of male flowers has withered and dropped 
away, and the ovaries of the female blossom have 
swollea into bananas; it may be a footlong, and the 
huge bunch hangs down scarcely supported by the 
now withering stem. The fruit is ripe, aud the 
banana has done its work, and, II left alone, soon 
dries up aud dies. From its base spring up shoots
