Studying Grapefruit
Culture In Florida

Florida, under DR.. L. c. Corbett
chief Of the bureau, an attempt is to
be made next year to get similar in
formation regarding the grapefruit
varieties so that similar action can
be taken in wedding out the less de.
sirable varieties and standardizing
the Florida fruit.
Work on Satsuma oranges is being
carried along in the Northwestern
part of the state and in Alabama.
Florida nurserymen who are propa-
eating the Satsuma varieties are be-
ing circularized by the Federal office.
Pineapple slection plots at Fort
Pierce where the government agents
have teen trying to see if they could
get a strain of the pineapple that
would be wilt resistent, will be con-
tinued. Other Offices in the United
States Department of Agriculture and
the state have been working on the
wilt problem, but the office of horti-
cultural and genealogical investiga-
tions has gone at it from a horticul-
tural standpoint to see If there is not
some strain of the Red Spanish varie-
ty that is practically immune to the
destructive wilt. Up to the time of
the big freeze the indications were
that such a strain had been found
The freeze will set the government
workers back at least one year, and
possibly longer, on their investiga-
tions.
Another line that the Federal horti-
cultural experts has taken up in Flor
! ida is the avocado, or alligator pear.
They are endeavoring to secure defin-
J lite information concerning varieties
which should be grown in Florida
and the proper stock. Up to the last
few years there was practically only
one avocado variety grown on a com
mercial scale in the state, and that
was the Trap, which comes in dur
ing October or November.
| In cooperation with the growers
at Homestead and Lucerne Park the
Federal fruit experts have secured
bud-wood from a number Of Californ-
ia avocado varieties and propagated
on three stalks: West Indian, Guate.
malan, and Mexican-in an attempt
to find out which is the best stalk
to use in different part of Florida.
+, Up to now the stalk largely used
has been the West Indian which is
quite tender and injured at temper
ature lower than 20 degrees. Some
of the Guatemalan stalks tried out
can Withstand rs degrees without in

Washington D. c., March 26.-To
determine the best standard varieties
of grapefruit to be grown in Florida,
the same as has been done with or.
anges, Is one Of the aims in an extern
siv program of work which has been
mapped out for Florida by the horti-
cultural and genealogical investiga-
ton bureau of the United States De-
partment of Agriculture.
The horticultural work in Florida
conducted by the Federal department
has been hampered by the fact that
one of the best field men, E. D. Vos-
bury, who spent most of last season
in Florida and who was well-known
among the growers, received a COM
mission in the reserve officers train
ing camp and is now in France as a
first lieutenant in the aviation sec.
ton of the Signal Corps.
He made his headquarters in Flor
ida at Orlando and co-operated with
the growers during and after the de-
structive freeze which visited every
section Of the state. The freeze in
terfered generally with the work of
the Federal Bureau. 1t plans how
ever to keep a man in Florida all dur
ing next year to study sub-tropical
varieties and strains of grapefruit
within the varieties.
The work of the Federal horticul-
tural experts in the citrus groves
next year will be largely along the
lines in which they have been work
ing on oranges in preceding years
This Is an effort to secure definite in
formation concerning the relative
merits of grapefruit in Florida
At the Citrus Seminar in Gaines
vile In October 1916, a committee OF
citrus growers and nurserymen re-
commended that five orange varieties
be developed as the leading varieties
In Florida. These are: Parson
Brown, Homosassa, Pineapple, Valen.
cha and the Lue. The Seminar pass.

which marked an important step to

jury and some Mexican Withstand ev-
en- lower.
Work for the next year or two will
be to take, notes and prepare records
on these peculiar varieties, paying at
tention chiefly to their ability to
withstand cold.
