Floridn's Profitable Pineapple Crop.

From the West Palm Beach C1a.) Tropical Sun.
From the reports Of all those who have
shipped pineapples already this season and
have received returns for them, we learn
that the prices received have been very
good so far. By this We mean they have
brought from to cents apiece for poorer
quality of common pines up to 10, u and Is
cents apiece for good ones of the common
kind, and in some cases even more than
that.
This is doing very well, and If the rest
of the pines shipped this season average
anything like this in prices, the growers
will be perfectly satisfied. for at such prices
there is money in raising them. OF course
the fancy pines that were shipped brought
fancy prices, in most cases selling all the
way from 25 cents to 81. and in some In
stances 81. 90 apiece. THIS year Is the BAN
| her year as far as the crop is concerned,
and. from Indications now, 1t bids fair to
be the banner year for prices and profits
also. There Is surely good money in raising
pines, and our growers are finding 1t out
this year even II they never knew 1t before.
The statistics of the present crop cannot
be obtained in full until the close of the
shipping season, but estimates promise a
total of 10000 barrels or 100000 standard
! crates.
