SOME GOOD LATE ORANGES
Large Fruit Being Shipped in-Local
 Prospects Very Fine.

The tai-end of the supply of good oranges from California, a mixed lot of good, bad, indifferent and worse fruit, has been bettered during the last few days by a few boxes of some of the finest appearing imported oranges that have ever been seen on the local mar ket. Otrsuch size is the fruit that it attracts much attention in the stores on Washington street. Some idea of the size can be gained from the fact that there are but four dozen in a box, while the average box of oranges con- tains from two to six times as many. In size they rival the Ari- zona orange, but in flavor fall far short, their fibre being coarse and dry.
 Local orange growers are anticipat- ing the largest crop that has ever been gathered from Arizona orchards. Last week there was great fear of frost, but no serious damage resulted, although there was a light frost on two nights. There is hardly chance of another one. Orange growers are discuss ng the breeding of oranges which wul grown in the north, a pro- JecI upon WHlcH government tApS'to are now experimenting.
 They have found little orange, one and half inches in diameter, grown success tuiy as far north as Philadel- phia. 1t is very hardy and can live through a frost. It, however is unfit for food when raw, although valuable for preserving. This fruit has been married to some large oranges of the Florida variety. The first resulting generation of descendants will be due thie season. The intention is to combine the interior quality and sweetness of the Florida and Arizona family with the thick, protecting skin of the Philadelphia species. It is hoped to thus obtain in a few years an offspring which will grow as far north as Charleston, s. C., all along the gulf coast and along the Pacific in north- ern Ca aifornia. lit is prophesied that oranges, as large. juicy and sweet as the Florida and western varieties will some day be growing in the central At . lantic states. A number of crosses are likewise being made between oranges and grape fruit, to obtain large, juicy offspring which will combine the sweetness and flavor of the former with the size and medicinal virtues of the latter.

FIRST OF THE FRUIT
Strawberries in Large Quantities and
 Many Apricots Coming.

The local fruit season is on in earn est. Strawberries are now obtainable a 20 cents per box and large quanti- ties are being shipped out. Many Cali fornia berries are now being brought in and they will have a tendency to cut down the price of the local berries It is likely that a couple of weeks
 nore will see strawberries at 10 cents peg box, The first apricots, the New castle brand. will be in next week. fheFe Is said to be tremendous CFoe, and prices will doubtless be low sAoNSh to cause a great dea! of pre- sewing, by the frugal house wife. The bocsl supply of bananas will last for a nsoath and then there will likely be no more until fall. This season has beea one of banana education to Phos- nix people and many carloads have been consumed here. Until this sea- son bananas were never shipped here in car lots, and in consequence the high price has been prohibitlve Of heavy sales.
 "Nice a-rlpe banan' has evidently come to stay. It, is the booming in- dustry of the gulf islands and coun- tFies. Along the railroad main thor aughfares northward from gulf ports. "the banana train" has its fixed place ca the time-card. Daily it thunders through from New Orleans and Mobile to cities on the upper Mississippi and the great lakes. Out of a single port Of Costa Rica, Limon. last year, were shipped 3,420166 punches. or s1 ,364. 900 worth. It Is business which has more than trebled in ten years. and Which two decades ago had almost no existence.

The island of Jamaica alone Is sending to this country over 4,00O,00o punches year, which means s1 ,500, 900 to the producers and shippers of the colony. The contributions of the tens of millions of punches which this coun- try consumes annually come from Cos ta Rica, Nicaragua. Honduras, Mexico, Cuba, Porto Rico. Jamaica and San Domingo. Encouraged by the enor nous demand and by the handsome profits the planters are increasing their production in old and starting in new places.

use. Brewers are experimenting with bananas as substitute for barley. From the fibre of the plant, rope, can vas and thin clothing are being made. But perhaps the most significant de- velopment of the industry is in the di- rection of the preservation of the small and ripe bananas unsuitable for ship ment. A system of quick evaporation which will add greatly to the produc- ton and cheapness. has been intro' euccd and tested successfully.
