Lemons and Other Fruit in Orange
County.

Through the Kindness of J. E. In
graham, Esq, Of Sanford, we were
enabled to inspect the property OF
General Sanford and some of the
other groves in Orange county. Any
one seeing them must allow that
lemon culture is an undoubted success.
The imported Sicily and other vari-
cites were thriving and the young
trees full OF fruit of superior quality.
The newly-imported lines were also
doing well. We were particularly
pleased with the thriving appearance
of the new varieties OF pine-apples
that were imported, many OF them
in fruit. The olive trees also
looked well, one OF them truiting for
the first time. Mr.. Limbaugh, an in
telligent Swede, has charge Of Gen
eral Sanford's groves, and he evil
IDENTIFY knows what he is about. He
has a grove OF his pwh, abaas-ten
acres, which gives every evidence OF
giving him a large income before
many years. AT his place the Japan
csc persimmon was bearing, also
other new and choice fruit One Of
the most attractive properties we
visited was that Of Mr.. G. Amory, of
Boston, Mass. The appearance Of the
place and the care evinced in every
thing reflects the highest credit on
Mr.. Rantoul. the manager. Here, too,
the lemons were success. The
crop of oranges will be short one,
the trees making more wood than
fruit this year, as we have noticed in
other places. Why don't the people
OF Sanford plant some shade trees
and other productions to give some
att action to their town? We did
not see banana planted in it, or
even the common castor bean, which
much astonished us in thac .go-ahead
county. They might take lesson
from Palatka. We arrived at San
ford too late at night on the 4th to
see much OF the gathering to cele-
brate the day, but from all ac-
counts everything passed off in a
most agreeable way.

Sheep Raising i'm VOIusia County.

There are thousands of acres OF pra.
irie land in this county which can be
turned to profitable account in sheep
husbandry. A few days ago we
noticed number of fat wethers at
Enterprise, on their way to Jackson
vile and a finer lot Of sheep it would
be hard to find. Mr.. John Sauls in
formed us that they we're raised on
the prairie lands, being allowed to
run at large. Himself and Mr.. Leon
ardI have a flock Of over 900.
They were cross between the
Southdown and Merino. From Mr..
Sauls account there was no expense
attending the raising and none were
lost from the ravages of wild animals,
the only enemies being the hogs
which devoured the..--young lambs
when first dropped. The, clip OF
wool from the flock averaged three
pounds per sheep per annum, and he
had sold those we saw, three years
old, at 1926 per head IN Jacksonville.
With care in attending to them what
comfortable incomes might be made
by others in this industry.

The work on the railroad from Old
Fort Butler, now called Astoria, opposite
Volusia, to Lake Eustis, is progressing
most favorabiy. Forty-fve hands are
at work, and the whole grading has
been finished, except within four miles
of Astoria, which will be completed in
about a month. Arrangements have
been made for two fine locomotives, and
the rails are to be on the ground by the
first of August. COL Lane is now North
to purchase necessary freight cars and
passenger coaches There is fund of
$125,CO0 on hand, which insures the
road to be in running order by or before
the first day of next December.
Mr.. Fl. H. Mcclure. an old resident
of Orange County lately removed to this
county to live, writes to the South Flor
ida citizen as follows am now two
miles from Alexander's Landing on
Lake Beresford will live with Doctor
Gillian, who has one of the finest orange
groves in the State-some five thousand
trees just coming into bearing. This
section is, think, as healthy as Apopka
City. and verify the prettiest pine lands
have seen in Florida. 1t is only a
strip of land about four miles wide and
fifteen miles in length, and settled up
principally by Northern and Western
people. They make better show, have
handsomer houses, finer groves, better
roads, etc., than one is accustomed to
see in South Florida.
We were presented by r. W. Sturde-
want, of Sturdevant Bros. ,nurserymen of
Orange City, with q very fine bunch of
Hamburg grapes. The bunch weighed
over pound and the berries were large,
plump and very even, and the flavor in
sweetness and aroma was delicious. It
is evident from this and other samples,
that our soil and climate can satisfacto-
rily produce this, as well as other choice
kinds of grapes. These were grown
on g three year-od vine, and were RI
period early enough to have been shipped
three weeks ago, when we believe they
were worth $1.00 per pound in the
Northern markets The Sturdevant
Bros. have also fine Malagas, Chassalas,
the earliest of all, Muscat's, also ripe,
and such choice varieties as the Goethe,
and Delaware, finished bearing for the
season, and the Cumalan and Catawba,
just ripening.
