In Columbia county before the war
failure of the peach crop was almost UNI
known. In those days there were no rail
roads in Florida. and passengers on the
stage coach would, in peach season, know
whom Columbia county was reached, either
from Tallahassee or Jacksonville, by the
fine quality and great abundance of the
fruit 1t was the custom of the planters of
that day to SIT a new orchard each year,
and then give it attention.
The orange crop for this year bids fair to
be the largest ever raised in Florida, Judging
from the quantity Of fruit now on the
trees For the past two years the crop
from Orange county has been very light,
and, notwithstanding the greater number
of trees coming into bearing during tho
past two years, both crops were lighter
than that of three years ago The outlook
now, surprising other sections are in about
the same condition as this, is that the crop
will in all probability reach 3,000.0 900 boxes
II not more. This, in connection with the
increased planting Of vegetables this year,
as well as the tobacco crop, the first raised
to any extent, makes the outlook for
Floridians this year very flattering indeed
