RNLARGING THE FLORIDA
GRAPEFRUIT MARKET

Florida grapefruit, unknown a
few years ago as desirable edible
has within a comparatively short
time, travelling under it's own steam
on its own merits, without much
advertising, become recognized all
over the country as one of the most
delicious forms of fruit. 1t is seen
habitually on the rich mans table.
in the great hotels and cafes and in
the Pullman diners, and it has Just
fairly entered upon its reign as the
king OF relishes
But it is not an aristocratic fruit,
although the aristocrats love it so
dearly 1t belongs as much to the
plain people as to the select circles,
and when its merits have been thor
oughly advertised and the fruit
made reasonably cheap the demand
will be enormously increased and it
will be one Of the most reliable and

belt. Advertising will do the work
The Florida grapefruit is as far SUI
perior to the California grapefruit
as the Florida orange is to the Cali
fornia orange, and it can be said
with equal truth that the California
methods of advertising are as far
ahead OF the Florida methods as our
fruit is superior to theirs. When we
get in the class of those people out
there as advertisers our citrus grow
ers will find better markets and
make more money than they do, but
meanwhile our grapefruit market is
slowly charging and it is safe to
say that more people will eat it this
winter than ever before.

The cause of Natal hay in Florida
goes marching on. Editor Woods, of

ably the most active agent in giving
it bis boost some wears ago through
, his paper when he became convinced
of it: merits, and farmers of the pro-

South Florida have taken hold of it
and are giving it the preference as
hay and feed crop. That man
stroller of the Florida Grower, is
one Gf the truly wise guys of this
State in the products of our soil, and
he has this to say of Natal hay in
the last issue of the Grower:
II do not know how Natal grass
came to be introduced to Florida. No
one seems to know how it got into
Lake county. We first began to hear
of it about four years ago, and now,
according to County Demonstration

of all criticism; those who have had
experience with it the longest are
