gate the grove proposition have expressed
a desire to have a home here.

Quality will tell Marion county produces
the finest citrus fruits grown in Florida,
and therefore, in the world The fruit
grown in this county has rich color and
has a finer flavor Marion county citrus
fruits top the market every season This
year oranges grown near Citra brought as
high as SLABS box at auction in New York
City A very large percentage of the fruit
shipped from the county is first grade. The
quality is due to the rich soils of the county
and to Marion's northern position in the
citrus fruit belt of the state. The quality
is an advantage that cannot be overcome.
Another great advantage is that Marion
county fruit is ready for the market early,
This is the home of the "Parson Brown"
,o1ange the most successful and the most
perfect early orange grown in Florida. This
is the home Of the famous Pineapple" or
ange, which is. ready for the markets in
December, January and.February. The quail
ity of Marion county grapefruit and tan
gerines is also excellent These also ripen
early.
Less fertilizer is required for the trees
in this county, because of the heavier soil
The trees are harder, because of the north
ern limit. and they are better prepared for
sudden changes in the weather Ti4 trees
of this county are subject to fewer diseases.
Marion county is nearer the markets, which
is another advantage over other counties.
Marion county was not affected by the
slump in the citrus fruit market this sea
son.
This is the original home of the sour or
ange. The orange was originally found
growing wild in this county No stock on
which citrus fruits are grown is used more
widely than the sour orange. Marion county
nursery stock is much in demand. therefore,
and the number of nurseries in the county
is increasing.
The first budded groves in Florida were
grown on sour orange roots in this county.
and the sour orange stock is used in citrus
producing sections the world over.
Still another advantage that Marion eoun-
ty possesses. is that here citrus fruits may
be combined with general farming. live
stock raising, dairying, trucking, deciduous
fruits and poultry raising. It is not neces-
sary to put all of ones eggs in one bas-
ket.'' The ideal farm would combine fruit
groves, both citrus and deciduous, with di-
versified farming. And Marion county is
the place for this kind of farming.
