BUKER N the late 1880s or early 1890s (sources are vague as to the I exact time), people living along the St. Johns River were enthralled by the addition of a beautiful floating water plant to the river’s scenery. Above a luxuriant green base towered a spike of purple flowers. Steamboat operators were pleased when the tourists admired the drifting bouquets gliding by their vessels. Cattlemen along the river were enthused at the prospect of a new cheap fodder for their stock. They gathered bundles of the floating greenery to carry upriver for propagation in their ponds and streams. Mr. Fuller, owner of the Edgewater Grove, seven miles above Palatka, claimed to have brought this beauty to the St. Johns River, and he believed that “the people of Florida ought to thank me for putting these plants here.“1 The recipient of this attention was the water hyacinth, a fresh-water, free-floating plant. From its dark green bulblike leaf base grow bright green upright leaves, which serve as sails in the wind, crowned by a tall spike of purple flowers rising three to four feet in height above the water’s surface. Below the surface a bushy mass of fibrous roots extend out six to twenty- four inches. The flowers last only a day or two before they fade. Then the flower stalk bends, thrusting the spent flowers and seed pods under water. When ripened, the pod releases the seeds which settle to the bottom or are entrapped in the mass of roots. The seeds remain fertile for seven or more years. During the warm-weather months along the Florida rivers the seeds may produce two crops in their growing season, with a third ready to mature the next spring. However, most of the plants are re- produced by the vegetative process as stolons develop from the healthy parent plant. In a short time these offspring emit their George E.

The pro- liferation of the water hyacinth borders on the fantastic, it doubles its area every month of its growing season. The plants are killed by floating down to salt water, or by being exposed to a heavy frost. Thus in Florida, as it has no natural enemies, hyacinth propagation becomes awesome. Water hyacinths were introduced into the United States at the Cotton States Exposition in New Orleans in 1884. Whether Mr. Fuller got his plants that year or received them later from someone who had obtained them at the exposition is not clear. However, he did put them in his fountain pond at Edgewater Grove. True to form, the plants multiplied, and the excess growth was cast into the St. Johns River.2 Here propagation continued as clumps of water hyacinths drifted about on the St. Johns at the whim of wind, current, and tide, occasionally massing at some bend in the river until the wind shifted. People, soon noticed these floating gardens. By 1893 there were acres of hyacinths floating about until a man-made barrier impeded the plant’s movement down-river. The Florida East Coast Railroad bridge across the St. Johns River at Palatka had planking extending from one piling to the next almost at the water’s surface. Only in the center, where the draw was, could the hyacinths pass the bridge. When a pro- longed south wind pushed the floating masses against the bridge, a plant jam occurred. The hyacinth became so entangled, both above and especially below the water, that none of the plants passed the obstruction, even in the center at the draw. For the first time the wide St. Johns was covered from bank to bank.

  • William P. Anderson and 'The May Letters" 175
    W1LLIAM P. ANDERSON AND "THE MAY LETTERS" BY PATRICIA GIVI•S JOHNSON • Camp Springs, Ma•land The 1828 Presidential election campaign, when Andrew Jackson ran against John Quincy Adams, was one of the most acrid ever to convulse the electorate. The most controversial man yet nominated for the Presi- dency, Jackson had lived such a checkered life it was not difficult for the Adams faction to fuel their fires. Jackson was accused of everything from wife-stealing to murder. For a man who had feuded and quarreled over these issues all his adult life, these accusations were not new nor unexpected. Besides, though there was much talk, most of the oppo- sition's accusations could not be proven. The Arbuthnot and Ambrister executions in Florida were viewed by the common people as necessary actions of a military commander in wartime. Rachel Jackson's pure character and the Jacksons' abiding love in a good marriage had laid to rest the old marriage slanders. In a time when dueling was respectable and still practiced, the Charles Dickinson Duel was viewed by most voters as a matter of honor. However, there had been whispers about that duel and how honor- able Jackson had really been. The Whigs believed if the whispers could be proven they would have found their opponent's Achilles heel. But they needed some proof that Jackson had acted dishonorably in the duel which cost Dickinson his life. This proof was forthcoming when a Tennessee Whig, William P. Anderson of Nashville, formerly Jackson's friend, stepped forward with letters which indicated Jackson had acted dishonorably in the duel.
