Tampa Times: NJ. E. Gillett. manager Of
the Aanatee Lemon Company ana secretary
OF the Florida Fruit ana Vegetable Growers
Association, left last night for his home in
WeirsdAle. Mr.. Gilett returned yesterday
from Manatee. where he concluded the pur-
chase Of 100 acres more land for the Manatee
Lemon Company, which they will set out in
lemons. They have 20 90 trees now and will
increase their grove 70 $1,000 trees this season.
Mr.. GllleW estimates that the output of the
company's lemon grove viii be 100 coo boxes
In three years from now. If his hopes are
realized this will be a wonderful record as
the grove has been planted only about year,
but the trees are all budded on old stock and
arc being pushed as fast as possible. Some
idea Of the magnitude of their expected re
turns can be gained when il is known that
the entire output Of oranges from the Manatee
section is not quite 10000 boxes a year now.
