Important In Florida
In no place in the world has the
culture Of grapefruit reached such
perfection as In Florida, and II now
constitutes a very important crop
IN that State. The groves near
Miami are one of the sights for
winter visitors. Its cultivation has
been extended also to California, ia
maica ana Cuba.
AS a breakfast fruit, grapefruit
has no rival. 1t is an excellent APP
petizer and It's characteristic flavor,
which is an indescribable blending
Of sweet. sour and bitter, is most
pleasant. There are several varie-
ties, the best known being Duncan,
Marsh seedless and Walters.
The tree is small, growing to a
height of only about twenty-five feet
and Is less susceptible than the or
ange to pests and diseases. 1t is
more susceptible than oranges or
lemons, however, to an infectious
disease called citrous canker. The in
lection causes scabs to appear on
the leaves and fruit.
Tine grapefruit is usually budded
on its own stock or on the sour or
ange. The tree is a heavy bearer
and bears as early as the orange
in about six years-but it is more
easily injured by cold, and is grown
only in the southern parts of Flor
ida and the W. rmer portions of Cal
ifornia. Scientific name, citrus de-
cumana.

Interesting History
The grapefruit Calso called pomelo)
has an interesting history. Only
since the early part of the twentieth
century has it been marketed to any
extent, although it was brought to
the West Indies and Florida by the
Spaniards with the Grange and

ed blossoms, which are succeeded by
the great clusters of lemon-yellow
fruit. The tree was long cultivated
in Florida gardens for show. It's
fruit was considered refreshing and
tonic. but it did not enter the minds
of the growers that it had CONNER
cial value. So the ground beneath
the trees. after the fruit had ripened,
was covered with the great juicy
yellow balls, left to rot in the sun.
Northern visitors to Florida
learned to like the grapefruit and
wanted it on their rc'urn, and in
this way a certain demand was Gre
ated for It. Between 1880 and 1885
the first shipment was sent to New
York and Philadelphia, and a mar
