DeLand Record: We believe that large
percentage Of the coming crop of oranges will
be sold on the trees. We base the opinion on
and are Offering from rs cents to 81 per box.
The conditions will be such the coming season
that the growers will have little trouble In
getting a fair price for their fruit. At least
the crop win be considerably less than 900,
600 OF the total shipped out of the state for
the season Of 1893 o. Then the prospects are
anything but fiattering for even an average
crop Of fruit grown in the northern states.
The new organization known as the Florida
Fruit and Vegetable Growers Association
will be great factor In the Judicious handling
Of the crop.
