CITRUS FRUITS IN
ST. LUCE COUNTY

Some portions of the Florida East
Coast have for years been noted for the
amount and quality of citrus fruits
grown, and other portions, which few
years ago were unknown and considered
of no value for growing these fruits,
have come into prominence and now
are recognized MS the real fruit belt of
the State. The development of these
newer portions of the Fast Coast has
been most remarkable and rapid.
ST. LUCE COUNTY. This is new
county. recently formed by dividing
Brevard county. For many years there
were few oranges grown but the pine
apple industry was the chief mt ~ crop.
A few years since Hon. &. 7. McCarty
commenced planting orange trees on a
large scale and now the new county is
among the largest producers of citrus
fruits on the East Coast. The larger
groves are located on the west bank of
the Indian River. Each year marks a
great advance in the acreage devoted
to the culture of citrus fruits. Nearly
all the planters are now utilizing the
ground between the rows of orange
trees in growing pineappes, so that
long before the groves come into pro-
ftable bearing, the returns from the
pineapple has made the grower hand
some profit on his investment. During
the past year there have been many
thousand citrus trees planted along the
lower portion Of the Indian River. The
hickory scrub is fast disappearing, and
orange trees are taking its place. White
City is becoming favorite orange and
pomelo section. The pine lands are be-
ing cleared and citrus trees are taking
the place Of natural growth. In the
Jensen and Eden section there has been
a considerable increase in the acreage
planted in citrus trees. Fort Pierce is
the county seat of st. Lucie and is
growing rapidly and is now considered
one of the important commercial centers
on the Indian River. ---Homeseeker.
