EXPORTING-BRANDS, ETC.

There was meeting of orange grow
ers in Jacksonville one day last week,
called by Mr.. E. l.. Goodsell. Now it
is an admitted fact that no meeting of
orange growers was ever held that did
not result in some good. This is nat
ural. Orange growers from different
sections of the State get together and
as it is natural for men to talk about
the things nearest and dearest to them,
the conversation naturally drifts to
methods and plans of producing and
marketing the fruit. This inevitably
leads to good results as new ideas and
improved methods are discovered, and
when put in operation are certain to
rebound to the interest of the operator.
At the meeting above referred to, the

TWO SIDES OF IT.

We never gloat over the misfOrtunes
of others, and especially not of those
who are struggling with the mysteries of
the orange industry, but our attention
has been called to one of those nicely
illustrated boom articles in the Chicago
Tribune on the orange industry in Cal
ifornia. OfcOurse some wonderful stories
are told in this article-some that would
make the most successful Florida orange
grower turn green with envy.
The Los Angeles Times, most relia-
BILE and trustworthy paper comes to us
in the same mail with the Tribune con-
tanning the boom article. In the Times
is published a review of the orange sit
uation which does not corroborate the
statements made by the Tribune.
Among other things it publishes extracts
from the Minneapolis Produce Bulletin.
which it does not attempt to deny, but
practically admits. We publish below
in parallel columns, paragraphs from
the Bulletin and the Times.

There is simply not
demand for California
oranges. The quality
is not such this year
that people are break
ing their necks to get
them. Then it is diff
ficult to make sales,
even at low prices, and
for this reason buyers
all hang off for the low
est figures On what lit
tie they buy, What
oranges are being sold
at auction are going at
ruinous prices, and
there appears to be no
rem edy for the matter,
so long as there are
more oranges offered
than the people want.

buyers who come annu-

ifOrnia as soon as the

California and Florida
orange crops have
never yet interfered

California fruit is rarely
ready for shipment be-

consumed and the mar

that his oranges are

for that reason the

however. a fact that
the Southern Califor-

than do the Florida

VITICULTURE IN FLORIDA.

with its really remarkable spread, and
rapid development. AS was said by
one speaker, it is the only fruit that is
of general interest from Pensacola to
the Indian River. The northwest sec
ton of the State was, of course, the orig
inal home Of the industry in Florida
and the fine vineyards in the neighbor-
hood OF Tallahassee are probably the
first Of any note in the State. But the
remarkable spread of the industry has
taken place in a southwark direction
during the past six or seven years, and
the success attending the development
OF the vineyards of South Florida has
been so great as ID warrant practical
grape grower of long experience, both
European and Floridian, in saying that
the vineyards of Orange county were
the best he had ever seen, whether in
France, Italy, Spain, or any part Of the
United States. This promises well for
the Florida industry, and is Of especially
good omen in State where too much
faith has been pinned to the one crop
system, and where one Of the first needs
for prosperity is Investigation of crops.
Certainly trusting to theory alone, few
combinations OF environment could
easily excel the conditions under which
the grape is grown in Florida-and at
the present day practice is rapidly bear
ing out the promises Of theory, by show
ing how we'll the vineyard can be made
and kept in this soil and climate. The
growth made by vines in single season
is simply phenomenal. InmOre northern
ATTITUDES, by the time the fruit is off the
vines, and they have had the natural
period Of rest which always follows fruit
ing, the season is too late for further
growth, and the vine passes directly
into its dormant winter condition.
Here the fruit ripens in June and July
and then the vines put on new
growth lasting till September. During
this period they are storing vitality, which
is thrown into the first spring grow tn of
the following season, and into the crop.
The soil of Florida is better adapted to
viticulture than even that Of sunny
Italy or Spain, and there is so far q re-
markable immunity from insect or fun
gous pests. The fact tLat cur climate
enables the fruit to be put in the mar
ket ahead of that grown in any other
locality in the country also promises a
very paying market for early varieties,
and if any crop can be grown with little
labor, if it gets the right kind, it is the
grape. Here, however, is one OF the
principal points in the question Of sue
cess. Just as we have orange growers
of every description, th3 butcher, the
baker, the candlestick maker, who
come from all over the country, many
never having made the slightest attempt
to grow green thing in their lives be-
fore, so we have, and shall have grape
growers of the same varieties, and so
also we shall have failures. In our
opinion the grape offers far more diff
culties to the novice than the orange.
The vine is par excellence the plant
which needs the constant skilled over
sight of the culturist, in fact the vines
are essentially things to be lived
The Florida agriculturist. [volume] (DeLand, Fla.) 1878-1911, 1893-05-10

question o. exporting OIduA0S W LuIOp0
direct from Florida was again discussed
at considerable lencth, and Mr.. Good
sell announced that next season at
least two steamers would be chartered,
one of them would load November LIST
and the other November 18th. 1t is
said that the orange growirs present
at the meeting, together with pledges
received from other growers by letter,
promised $4,000 for the two cargoes
learning about as many more to complete
the quota of 10000 boxes.
The question of receiving a reduction
in freight rates was discussed at some
length, and Mr.. Goodsell said that if
the growers Of the State would pledge
him $4,000 Of fruit to be routed as
he directed (shipper reserving the
right to consign to whom he pleased)
he thought it possible that lower rate
might be obtained. Tt is said that 100,-
900 boxes were pledged on the spot.
In this connection we admit that we are
at loss to know how Mr.. Goodsell can
accomplish his purpose. The Fruit Elk
change, the greatest mark citing agency
in Florida, probably handled over half
million boxes the past season, and if it
was unable to obtain the reduct ion, We
do not know how Mr.. Goodsell could
accomplish it. The transportation com
ho 10 r,T nd
OF the companies makes ia "cut" it is
universally boycotted. Still if Mr..
Goodsell can do what he promises we
will be glad to hear it.
But in our opinion the most important
matter discussed at the meeting was
that of packing and establishing
brand. The AGRICULTURTsT has always
contended that it would pay our orange
growers to pack their choice fruit under
brand. In the course of time this
brand would become known to the con-
sumner, it would have reputation that
would create demand and enhance the
value of the fruit.
In confederation Of this were produce
below letter to Mr.. Goodsell from A,
T. Hatch, of California, said to be the
largest fruit grower in the world.
Mr.. Hatch said:
DEAR SIR-In answer to your asking
my opinion as to the value of brand,
will say that my brand is worth thous-
ands OF dollars to me every year, as it
procures for me ready sales at the high
est prices, Other goods Of similar quail
ity and kind that have no established
brands, often bringing 20 to 80 per cent.
less same day. Same market and sold
by the same men to the same custom
ers. The reason is, the buyer becomes
satisfied after several tests that they
can depend on finding the goods on a
certain brand to be what they are rep
resented Ito be, and when they see
the brand that has borne the test, they
look no further, except at lower price.
Very respectfully yours.
Any man putting up good goods can
afford to put his name on his packages
in plain letters and profit thereby.
Another letter in the same strain from
A. Minaldi & Co., firm Of the largest
importers and most extensive dealers in
citrus fruits in New York is also very
convincing. These gentlemen say Tin
