The pineapple plants are not all killed
in Orange county. Mrs. Talmage, who
owns quite an extensive pinery, finds that
most of her plants are putting UP strong
suckers and giving good promise of early
1ruit. In cases where roots are alive
the tendency of the plants will be to
throw up numerous suckers, and in this
way the multiplication of plants will IN
great measure compensate for loss nj
fruit. Plants of the five varieties such as
are grown at Orlando are I'm great de
mand and readily sell for high figures.
The growers may find themselves in great
luck by having a largely increased slhp-
ply of plants with which to fill their
orders.
