FLORIDA'S ORANGE CROP.
The Luscious Fruit Promises to
Be Plentiful this Season.

The orange season opens in couple
of weeks and today the best authority
estimates the Florida crop at l,0UO,OOO
boxes. This statement will be a sur
prise to the people of the south who
have not kept in touch with the in
dustry in tina, state since the memoir
able freeze five years ago. The aver
age price for the fruit for the coming
crop will be about $3.50 a box on the
tree. or 50 box f. o. b. From these
prices it will be seen that the value of
the Florida crop will approximately
equal the value when the the crop
amounted to something like 100000
boxes,
From careful estimate the leading
orange producing counties in the state
will ship the following number of boxes
this year:
Manatee, go, 900 boxes: De Sofa, 250,-
coo boxes Hlllsboro, 20G, GOO boxes
Polk. 100000 boxes; Lee, $1,000 boxes:
Dade. 10000 boxes: Orange, 25,OOO
boxes Lake, Is, goo boxes Osceola, d.
600 boxes; scattering, 10000 boxes.
Total 1,05O,000 boxes.
The groves in Florida are in a
healthy condition and prospects as to
WELD and profit are encouraging.
