When you think of citrus fruits you think of
Winter Haven, the home in which the Florida
Citrus Exchange was conceived; the birthplace
Of Polk County good roads; the home of the two
largest citrus fruit nurseries in the state. More
orange and grapefruit trees are born in the vi
cinity of Winter Haven twice over, than in the
entire state of Florida So when you think of
oranges you think of Winter Haven; the same
applies to grapefruit or winter home.
When one speaks of the vicinity of Winter
Haven they refer to the citrus section of Polk
county, better and generally known as the Seen
ic Highlands-Lake Region of South Florida
Winter Haven people are broad-minded enough
to know, and they don't hesitate to say, that
there may be other lands in Florida just as pro-
ductive just as high and just as good but they
