Dr. B. S. Maloy Starting Nursery at Tillman, Fla.

The Melboum, Fla., Times of Feb. 9th, gives the following account of a nursery Dr. B. S. Maloy, a former Rensselaer boy, is starting in Florida: If location, sunshine and rain, and a lot of loving care have anything to do with the making of a nursery, then Dr. B. S. Maloy, of Meloourne, is going to make the name of Palm Bay Terrace overlooking picturesque Palm Bay at Tillman, famous. In the past two years the doctor has planted over 184,000 seeds of following varieties: 87 i 000 sour orange, which have brought forth trees ranging in “age from two months to two years, about 10,000 of which will be ready for budding next June. 36,000 grapefruit seed have produced that many trees, now 1% years old. 6,000 lemon trees have just been transplanted from the seed beds to the newly prepared ground, and 47,000 new seed have been recently planted. 80 lime trees have been transplanted and 800 more seed planted. Dr. Maloy, who has been making a careful study of citrus fruit culture, ooth in California and in Florida, has devoted his personal attention to the preparation of the ground, the planting of the trees as they have reached the proper age. The trees as well as the general appearance of the whole nuTsry clearly indicate a more than ordinary knowledge of planting and tree culture. The doctor is proud of his nursery, and in time it should become a source of pride to the whole community. As the development" of the country ex- . tends and the demand for citrus trees increases this nursery will become an industry that this section will be glad to have in its midst on account of the business it will bring. Everybody likes to boost a good thing.
