Ripens THK Fruit Earthy.—Experience thus far seems to indicate that the habit of this stock to harden up early in the season hastens ripening, an important item in localities where early frosts are apt to injure the fruit. Again, early ripening means good prices. The first price in the orange market is a high price. Makes Good-Sized Trees.—The fact that this stock has been consider- ably used for the propagation of small orange trees for house-culture, and for grounds at tlie North, where the trees must be removed indoors in winter (for which it is especially well adapted), has led to the impression that varieties worked upon it were necessarily very much dwarfed. This is erroneous. In open-ground culture Oranges upon Trifoliate stock are not dwarfs in this di- minutive sense, but make good size trees. The size attained by different varie- ties of Oranges upon Trifoliate stock shows that Satsuma and other varieties of the Mandarin class, varying in age from 5 to 9 years, range in height and spread from 8 to 12 feet, while other varieties, at 7 years, are 15 feet high* For Ornamental Pitrposes.—The ease with which it can be confined within small compass, and trained into almost any shape, makes it exception- ally valuable as an ornamental. While it is bare of leaves in winter, its vivid green stems and unique and peculiar outline give it a very striking appearance. Its large white flowers are followed by a showy fruit, which hangs, golden yel- low, on the tree through the winter. As a Hed(je Plant.—The vigor of the Trifoliata, its hardiness, resistant qualities, stout thorns, and the ease with which it is confined in a small space, make it an ideal Iiedge plant. It forms an impenetrable barrier to man and beast, and with proper care can be made
