Orange Crop Will Reach sc, 900 Boxes.
Officers of the Florida Fruit Elk
change, at Jacksonville, who keep
themselves posted on the condi'
ton of the orange crop throughout
the State, now estimate that the croI
this fall will amount to between $50,
900 and 100000 boxes. The bulk o.
the oranges will come from the coun
ties of Manatee and Lee. Volusit
county will cone next, with from Is,
900 to 10000 boxes. The crop woulc
probably have reached 100000 boxer
had it not been for the drought in the
spring and early summer. This caused
quantities OF small oranges to drol
from the trees, especially in the middle
of the orange growing section OF tn
State. In 1898 the probabilities are
freezes and droughts barred, the crol
will reach as high as 100000 boxes. Al
of the orange growers are sanguine o
success. They have now tided over tn
worst period, that following the disas
ter of the freeze, and have restored
their groves to something like their old
time, beauty.
