will hold $1,000 oranges, and it may be
interesting to people who have not been
South to know that trees produce all
the way from 5000 to 10000 oranges
each. Two weeks ago 5000 were gath

the crop this year at Alexandria Grove
all the way from 10000 to 200, 900.

are the St. Michaels, Homasassas, Ma

named are small and of a kind, differ

the fruit northward. Iced cars are diff
ferent from refrigerator cars, and are
SO arranged that a steady currentof
air passes over the fruit. This keeps
a steady temperature, and these cars
instead of heated cars, which n
would naturally suppose be the proper
thing, are used in cold weather. There
is a pile Of trouble in shipping the
fruit, the great difficulty being to ship
it fast enough. In Florida, at the

IN THE ORANGE GROVES.
How the Fruit Is GrcHn, Harvested ant
Marketed in Florida.

How the Fruit Is Gre Sn, Harvested and
Marketed i'll Florida.
An orange grove is one OF the most
beautiful sights on the faced the earth.
The leaves are q very dark green and
exceedingly glossy, and. as there is no
dust in Florida, the soil being Of a
sandy nature, the contrast is very
striking and certainly most beautiful.
This year rye cover the ground under
all the trees in Mrs. Mitchell's grove,
and by hiding the sand adds greatly to
the attractiveness of the landscape.
Fruit-growers think that the rye i'm
proves the trees also, as it absorbs
much of the heavy dew, and keeps the
roots moist and cool. The latter part
OF February this rye will be all plowed
in and preparations made for another
years growth. The trees must be
pruned, washed and marared. Nature
does wonderfully well, but not all that
is required, by any means, to make a
success OF an orange grove. Great
skill and care must be exercised.
..When does the fruit begin to
r,pen?" asked the reporter.
"Well, oranges are ripe enough in
December to allow the gathering of a
large portion of the crop, but the fruit
is not considered in its prime before
January LIST. The fruit growers who
depend upon their crop for a living har-
vest when the fruit is altogether too
green. A frost sometimes steals upon
them unawares and so they ship their
oranges North, only I find a poor mar
ket. To make the green fruit yellow
and attractive, they Till a packing house
with it, shut the building tight and
fume it with sulphur. This process
turns the fruit a brilliant yellow, but
unfortunately leaves the inside as O II
as even. These oranges color every
thing they come in contact with. Mrs.
Mitchell prefers to let the sun color her
fruit and so gathers none until it is ripe.
There is one fact about gathering
| oranges that is not very we'll known in
the North, and that is that they must
be carefully cut from the tree with
scissors made for the express purpose.
The negroes have a large sack or apron
SO arranged that it can hold a bushel OF
more oranges. These are put about
their necks and each orange must
be cut and laid in these recep-
|. ticles. None must he allowed to drop
to the ground, il they do, the little spot
that received the bruise will show
decay very soon. When the bags arc
filled they are deposited in large wheel
barrows and taken to the packing
houses, where they are laid on shelves
made in strips SO as TO allow the air to
circulate freely. The fruit requires
from two to three days to go through
the sweating process. Then it is
wiped and transferred to q long table
running through the center of the
