The Florida agriculturist., 1907-12-11

Punta GOrda is center tor the Cul-
ture of Smooth Cayenne pineapples,
and of the various fruit growing in
dustries in the state, there is none that
inspires the grower with greater salts
faction, than does the cultivation of this
luscious fruit We plant under 1atticed
sheds down here, to protect the plants
from the full force of the sun,
and as a guard against frost in the
winter. The plants are set out almost
uniformally, seven across bed, that
ought to be eleven feet wide, and as
long as the plat Of ground will permit.
Suckers from the base of the old plants,
make the quickest fruiters, usually bear
ing between twelve and eighteen
months after being set out. These
quick returns always make strong
appeal to Northern settlers who locate
in Our midst, for naturally a crop of
fruit that can be counted on in such a
short time after planting, is more desir-
able than the citrus grove that cannot
bear short of four years, with phenom-
ena1 chances in it's favor.
It is an easy crop for one man to
handle, and does not require the skill
in it's cultivation and harvesting that
the citrus fruit does, which is another
most appealing point in its favor One
Northerner who came down here about
six years ago, set out two acres and a
half Of pines, which he takes care Of
himself the most of the year, only get
ting help when he wants some partic-
81 & T. h1y S+1
time, and this piece Of ground he keeps
in perfect condition. There isn't a
month in the year when he hasn't fruit
in some stage Of formation, and the at
tention and intelligence he has put into
his work, produces uniformly large, and
we11-ba1anced apples. This little plat
of ground pays him, on an average,
close to two thousand dollars a year
Some years it may be little more, and
some years less, but as he says the
same amount of easy labor would not
begin to pay him as we'll on two acres
in the Northern state that he came
from. For fear this article may mis-
lead some prospective settler into
growing pineapp1es with the idea that
all he has to do to get on to easy
Street and play for bounteous living,
is to raise pineapp1es, let me add, a
pineapple has as many diseases and as
fancy an appetite as you have every
right to expect of such dainty and
luscious tid-bit. Some of the vagaries
Of this capricious plant, are Spike-1eaf,
Root-knot. Tang1e-foot, Wilt and the
like And when these conditions are
not worrying you, then its mea1y-bugs
and ants or spiders. The mealy-bugs
do their work at the crown of the roots,
beneath the ground, so that they are
very difficult to combat, and so far as
the fight against ants goes, have yet
