FIRST TO GROW ORANGES.

Jesuits Introduced Them Into the
Pelican State
The orange of Louisiana is an excep-
tionally fine variety of that fruit, and
commands a good price in the market.
The orange was first introduced into
colonial Louisiana by the Jesuits, hav-
ing been first grown by the members OF
the society on their grounds, which
formerly comprised that part of the city
of New Orleans which constitutes the
lower part of the first district, down to
Common street.
While ST. Bernard and Plaquemines
parishes are the chief eenters of the
orange culture of Louisiana, the fruit
also grows we'll in the parishes of Or
leans, Jefferson, st. James, st. John
Baptist, ST. Charles, Assumption, ST.,
Mary, Terrebonne, Lafourche, Vermi1-
ion, Cameron, Iberia and Sabine. The
orange tree begins to bear at about the
seventh year, although it is not recs-
oned to have reached its full growth
until it's twelfth or fifteenth year.
The orange culture, in Louisiana Is
probably the most profitable industry Of
the state under favorable conditions, a
full grown tree producing from $1,000
to g. 900 oranges, the fruit on the, tree
generally selling fer so thousand,
snd as some of the largest orchards in
the. state yield as. many as 5000, 00O
oranges their market value gives a
princely income to the owners of the
trees. Comparatively very small acre
age of the state is devoted to the growth
of possibly not more than
1900 acres.
The sweetness, delicacy and juiciness
of the Louisiana orange, the best OF
which are regarded in the markets out
side of Louisiana as superior to even the
oranges of Cuba, to which island the
fruit is indigenous, render the Louisi.
ana oranges highly priced in the north
and west of the United States, so much
so that the supply is not by any means
equal to the demand. New Orleans
