 Orange Culture iI1 Flcrida.
 The orange groves in Florida were few and fal between 6fty-fve years age, ald they were not at that early day source of profit to their owners. Some of the trees were very aged, Mir. Bo~den, at Mandarin osned oned oae in s35 ahich vas said to ,o seyenty-ive years old. That year 7,09C oranges were picked from it. Another tree ln St. Augustine was supposed to he a hun- dred years old. Both these trees were kil- led to the eground by the great freeze of l83:-. Mrs. Hall. on the St. Johns, lot far from at that time had serenty-two trees on three-fourths Of an acre in scatte. ing form. The year before her crop had sold for S, GOO They were killed root and branch by the great frost. After this frost Ter feE years all orange culture was abau- loned, hut Tn 1888, 80 and g a widespread 0 orange ''craze" broke out all along the lower S. Johns and many groves were set out. A Mr. Robertson. near Mandarin, oas-dis- tanced his neighbors and imported his trees, and with them he also imported the scale insect This small creature soon made is- self at home and spread from poin: to point lntil it completely killed the orange fever | AIr Roberton tried aH manner of experi | nents to ril himself of the pes:. ani finally | zilled his trees by the application of aqua .ortis. Most of the groves started at this | 'ilae were given up to the insect and aban- loned iu disgust. One of these abandoned l groves was purchased in 1856 by Col. Hart, who came an invalid to Florida to die, though he has nos ye5 acco nplishsl the ob- ect. h lSJ3a visitor described the Hurt ! ;rove as being dasolabs enough in appear nee It was unfenced, had long been de er5ed to the insect, and looked as if it had | 'eel burned through by fire The trees, oNever, were 6ae old stamps, just putting 'it few sprouts, and is is to-day the most lo5ed of the St. Johns River groves From hat day to the present there has never 'eea frost suih hciently severe to kill full ITO VII trees. or to have any appreciabie .fect upon the insect.
