That the Florida orange is the heavi-
est, sweetest and juiciest is conclusive
i ly proven by the preponderance of ev-
idence contained in the following tes-
! timonies:
"My experience in Southern Califor-
mia and Florida satisfies me that this
is far better citrus fruit country
than California. The fruit is of better
quality F. Greene, formerly Of
Los Angeles.
"The California oranges are thick
skinned and PUPPY, without much juice
and l did not like them. Mrs. J. J..
Hooley, of Los Angeles, who remarked
while wintering at Clearwater, Fla,
that the Florida fruit was so much
sweeter, jucier and thinner-skinned
than the oranges of California.
eve did not know what an orange
tasted like until we ate one of these.
They are sweet and juicy and have an
entirely different flavor from the Cali
fornia kind Warren Baker, editor
of the Wilson World, Wilson, Kansas,
who received a box of oranges from
Sarasota, Fla.
"In our estimation the California or
ange business is simply going to be
survival of the fittest, and grower
who does not raise good fruit and a
packer who does not take pains to pick
and pack carefully and handle in first
class shape are. going out of the bus
mess. AS long as Florida has the
quality of fruit that they have today,
grower and shipper in California has
to get on the job and stay there. >
Arthur S. Westfall, who has spent the
last twenty years exclusively handling
California oranges in New York city,
"After the fruit reaches the market
Florida outsold yours during the past
season in pretty nearly every case,
which is conclusive evidence that Flor
ida grows the better fruit. IN. E.

Florida has another advantage which
California can never acquire-that is,
her nearness to the east and middle
west. It is only from SO to 48 hours
distant from New York or Chicago,
while from these cities to California

Florida is only two days to the mar

six or seven day days. journey. AS

climate, Florida supplies the eastern
