The ORANGE CULTURE IN FLoRIDA-lt was
with qualification that we saw il announced that
the orange trees of our sister State, Florida,
were fast recovering from the deadly blight
which has afflicted them for the last sixteen
years. Should this announcement prove true, il
will be source Of immense wealth.
Previous to 1885, when the orange groves
were killed by the unprecedented frost of that
year, not less than 100000 of oranges were
shipped from the st. Johns river and the port
Of st. Augustine, aud sold at the average price
Of 81 per hundred. II was heavy blow to
the citizens Of Florida, to have the source of so
much wealth cut off in one night.
And this was the produce Of a comparatively
small portion Of ground and trining labor.
The average produce Of an acre of full grown
orange trees, was about $1,000 per annum, and
one hand could tend two or three acres with
ease. Their culture is no more difficult than
any other fruit tree The principal mode Of
producing them is from the seed, They may
be produced also from the layer or cutting.
There are some groves on the st. Johns river,
orange, which Is found in almost every swamp
and hammock In the State. s
With the very extensive means and facilities
OF communication by means Of steam and rail-
road, now existing, many, very many years must
elapse before the market can be supplied fully
with this luscious fruit.
Sincerely do we hope the announcement al
luded TO may not be premature. IL will restore
wealth TO large portion of the State, and give
to property the value Of millions, where 1t is
scarcely worth dollars now Charleston Is. C)
