WATERMELON
SHIP MENTS
More Sent to Market from
West Florida Than in
Many Years.

The shipment OF water melons from
West Florida during the season which
has just closed have been heavier than
known during the past three years,
showing big gain over last year, and
those who engaged in this business
during the year reaped a good profit
from the sale of their melons in
various markets in the north.
During the water melon season the
Louisville & Nashville handled from
over the p. & A. division 1Ae 1lfd Ger
loads, a gain or "a cars loads over
the business done the previous year,
when only "a car loads were handled.
In 1905, the total shipments from the
same section we're about 80 cars.
The past season was a very good
one for the melon crop, and those
growing melons in the vicinity or
Grand Ridge, Cypress, Sneads, Inwood.
Mariana and Cottondale, from which
places all shipments were made, are
said to be well pleased with the re-
suit. The planters found PittsbIrg
to be the best market, although heavy
shipments were made to Cincinnati,
Chicago, Louisville and New Orleans.
The acreage, it is believed, will be
increased the coming season. and if
the crop is an early one the planters
anticipate obtaining larger profits.
