products of north Florida. Asparagus
delicacy in favor in the north, can be
successfully grown and placed upon the
markets during the latter part of Februa-
ry and the month of March, and command
at that time very profitable prices.
About the only practicable demonstra-
ton of truckfarming in the county is seen
at Dover Hall, the convict farm of
Glynn county. where annually much gar
den truck is produced; the chief products,
however being potatoes and cabbages.
Other garden truck being produced on a
small scale.
Peach growing Is one of the greatest
of the undeveOped possibilities of Glynn
county, and the transportation facilities al
ready connecting Brunswick with New
York, Philadelphia, Baltimore, Boston, ETC.

vegetables into those markets direct from
Glynn's fields inside of two or three days
Besides this, facilities are afforded for
reaching the great inland cities of the
central western states matter of great
Importance. since it is the first shipments
that realize large profits. Grapes can be
grown to great advantage; every condi-
ton of the soil and climate being proven
to be equal in all respects to France and
Italy, to which countries south and south
eastern Georgia is more nearly alike in
these respects than most any part of the
Union. Intelligence and experience applied
TO grape culture in Glynn county cannot
fail of the most gratifying results. The
growth of pears is also another possibility
of this section. The Bartlett and Keiffer are
remunerative. Other varieties of pears
that could be successfully grown are the
Wild Goose, Japan and Kelsay.
Melons produced successfully, and
their production tells the story of the
greatest fruit staple of Georgia. The soil
and climatic conditions are just suitable
for their prod zion. and the expense nom
inal.
PomCgranates, pecans and other nuts,
etc, and figs-that most delciously favored
of all semi-tropical fruits-grow even with
out culture and can be dried for market of
a quality equal to the best imported goods.
Olives being cultivated and success
fully grown in the county at CannOns
Point on ST. Simon island, where will be
found, with one exception the only olive
grove east of the Rocky mountains. This
grove is owned by the Hon. Mrs. James
Wentworth Leigh, of England a daughter
Of Fannie Kcmble. the famous actress.
Olive culture is not an experiment in
the county. but practicable success, as is
fully demonstrated by the success of the
