RAISING FINEST

BIG CROP ON VINES ONLY A YEAR

BOURNE, FLA.

T-p 10 few months a go il was gen.
orally thought that Concord grapes
could not be raised in Florida, but any
one who has seen or tasted that deli
been bringing in from MS farm west
of town will soon be convinced that
as fine Concord grapes can be raised
here If properly cared for as old New
York state can produce, says the Mel
bourne Times. Last Saturday Mr..
Dav!tt came in with a quantity of
fresh fruit just out of mis- vineyard
and was not long in disposing of them
at twenty cents per pound. The vines
upon which they were raised were set
out year ago last February and
now, although not very large, are
two or three acres in vineyard and
expects to increase his acreage con-
sidera bly, another year. He has sew
eral different varieties set out and
thew are all doing ffue. Mr.. DaVitt
states he uses no commercial fertili-
zer on his grapeVines at all but sim
ply cultivates and sprays them, and
the climate an dthe soil does the rest.
