have the largest place of it's kind in
the world few years hence. We now
have more trees set out on the place
than there are on any place in Flor
ida We have 10000 trees in our grove.
Our tract of land comprises 346 acres
on the north side of the Manatee riv-
er, about 300 acres of which is now
under cultivation. From our grove
this season we shipped about 1900
boxes of oranges, we receiving $4,000
for the fruit on the trees. We shipped
$50 boxes of lemons which sold at
$3.50 and 1878 per box, and last week
there were eighteen boxes of grape
fruit shipped to New York which I
think will bring us $15 per box. Our
grape fruit trees are pretty sight;
the trees are small but they are load
ed with fruit of most delicious fla
vor. We have 100 acres in truck, one
half of which is in potatoes, the other
being divided between tomatoes, cab
bage and celery. We expect to get
about 1900 barrels of potatoes, and
will begin digging next week"
