THE PINEAPPLE INDUSTRY.
(Florida Starr.

When a man who has become
discouraged by the freeze of last
winter contemplates leaving the
country in quest of a place where
disaster never strikes, he has task
on his hands that no mortal has
yet accomplished. When we look
back over the past eight. or ten
years and note the condition that
existed upto the time ofthe freeze,
we are forced to the conclusion
that we are enjoying advantages
from financial point of view that
no other section of the State
enjoys.
Everything was moving along
satisfactorily until the freeze of
last February called halt in the
proceedings. From green fields of
fine pineapple plants just putting
on their blooms, we were reduced
to dismal sight of brown stubble
with no vestige of green nor indica-
ton of life; everything instantly
came to a standstill. Men who

record of $50 leaves to the pound. This
shows the thinness of the leaf, matter
of very great Importance to the manu-
facturer, and affecting the number of
pounds of tobacco he must buy to cover

Wrappers of imported Sumatra to-
bacco of the finest grade, good color, and
thin texture cost about SIS a pound;
plenty of fine-grade Florida-grown Su-
matra wrappers have been harvested
for 40 cents a pound, and some of the

where Is grown the nheSJ tobacco in
the world, is likely to be also endangered
so far as it's crop is concerned. Tobacco
growing people have consequently
turned their atten ton to Florida, and
the old plantations in American hands
are now to have some very strong COM
petition from new tobacco associations,
composed principally of Cubans and
Spaniards experienced in tobacco cul-
Jure.
Recent reports show that the cult
walton of the best cigar tobacco in Flor
ida has, after repeated trials in all parts
of the State, practically ceLtred in Cad
sden and Decatur counties, and that ex-
periments In Eastern andSouthern Flor
ida have practically proved failures.
The crop for this year in Gadsden county
is reported to be away above the average
in quality, especially where farmers
have been very particular about getting
only the very finest Sumatra tobacco
seed, that being the variety which Flor
ida up to date has done best with. The
more aromatic Cuban tobaccos, while
showing great improvement over past
crops, are not yet on par with the
finest Cuba can produce. The one great
reason for the peculiar fragrance of the
tobacco grown in Vuelta Abajo VALLEY
of the Willow Bough) of Cuba is the
curious formation of the soil. In the
old days every high tide washed over it;
every norther covered it with water, and
each time, as the waters receded, the
earth was left covered with fish, seaweed,
broken vegetation from other parts, and
bodies of dead cattle.
By and by the earth rose beyond the
overflow of the sea. The soil so formed
is today the finest tobacco region of the
known world, producing tobacco cur
tously characteristic and aromatic,
which no country has hitherto dupli-
Gated, 1t has the distinction of being
the only tobacco in the world cigar of

lowed to go out, and an hour or day
later relit without total loss of character

India, from Cuban seed By Cuban plant
ers. The islands rose from the waters
in the same way as the Abajo, but the
tobacco is dark and strong and totally
unsuited to the modern demands of the
tobacco world, although it has great
fragrance and aromatic qualities.

Gated and living in Florida are many of

THE CLIMATE OF FLORIDA.
(Journal OF Commerce).

"A glance at a map shows that
Florida forms the extreme south
eastern portion of the temperate
latltudes of the United States.
Logic deduces and physical geog-
raphy inculcates what experience
assures, that its winter climate
must be mild and genial. There
is, in fact, no part OF the Union so
sheltered by geographical location
from the frigid, blighting Billiards
which sweep over the mountains of
the Northwest.
Meteorological records show
that the climate of Florida is not
only mild, but that it is equable.
There is not state of the Union
IN which the annual range of tenn
perature is not from four to six
times as great. Florida is not,
therefore, subject to the sudden,
trying vicissitudes of temperature
which are characteristic of the eli
mate OF the northern states.

Evening gowns ore nearly all conbina-

on plain satins and brocades. 1t is work
ed on the material itself in floral and con-

are exquisitely ornamented with design

bouquets of flowers of the same kind as
those shown in abe embroidery.
The utmost powers OF the modiste are
this year concentrated on dinner gowns.
Lace, flowers, sparkling embroiderios and
