FLORIDA LOOKS FOR A
PROSPEROUS YEAR

Last Season Totaled 1896 Cars
and It is Estimated the Coming
Year Will Equal, if Not
=. Exceed This Record
New York Packer)

Jacksonville, Fla, Aug. 22.-It is
a remarkable fact that the between
seasons" in Florida are growing
shorter and shorter. BY between
seasons is intended that time when
the spring vegetable, cantaloupe and
melon shipments end and the fall
vegetable and berry shipments be-
gin. The past season melon ship
ments continued until about the last
week in July, and in few sections
of the State vegetables are now be-
ing planted, which will be ready for
the market in about 60 days.
The total shipments of mixed veg
etables, which include cabbage,
beans. peppers. elephants, caulifow-
er and cucumbers, was 3,044 cars;
lettuce shipments, 2,205 cars; toma-
toes, 6,426 cars; celery, $500 cars;
potatoes, 1,434 cars, making the to-
tai carlot shipment of vegetables out
of the State last season 16,70S cars
The melon movement was 2,707
cars; cantaloupes, 80 cars; strawber-
ries, 400 cars; pineapples, 636 cars;
oranges, 1885 cars, and grapefruit
5,598 cars, making the total ship
ment of fruit out of the State last
season 27,27S cars, or total move
ment of vegetables and fruit of 49,
$50 cars.
It is estimated that the acreage in
vegetables throughout the entire
State will be increased over the past
season fully 10 to Is per cent. Not
only will there be substantial in
crease but crops will be put in the
ground earlier and Florida will ship
vegetables for about nine months out
of the year.
The carlot movement of fruit will
be heavier as the citrus fruit crop
probably will equal last season
There will be larger acreage OF
lpineapples and melons planted.
The tomato acreage on the East
coast will be larger and with favor
able weather conditions shipments
should start earlier than last year
At the present time the citrus
fruit crop is in good shape. In the
trucking sections growers are put
ting in seed beds and in some sec
tions transplanting from seed beds
into the fields.
