Book excerpt: Excerpt from Treatise and Hand Book on Orange Culture in Florida The writer for several years suffered greatly for want of some reliable advice ou Orange Culture. Could he have had such instructions as the following pages contain he might have hastened forward to profitable bearing by several years an orange grove now crowning his labors with success. He could have done this with half the amount of money expended by him in experimenting, in following unreliable advice, and in doing, what at the time, seemed wisest. It is to save others such useless expenditures and to help forward the best material interest of Florida that he has undertaken to give to the public the result of his experience and observation on Orange Culture in Florida. Nor has he undertaken this without the earnest solicitation of many who are engaged in orange growing and have witnessed his success and discussed with him his plans. The writer has not only had ten years of actual experience in orange growing, but he has had before him a wide field for observing the efforts of others engaged in this business. He has had throughout his life a passion for horticulture; in early life considerable experience as an amateur cultivator of fruits. For twenty-five years he has been accustomed to eat fresh from the trees the orange grown in Cuba, in Central America, in California, in Louisiana and in Florida. His admiration of this "queen of fruits" has led him to observe and inquire after the methods of culture in each of these several countries. During the ten years of his experience lie has frequently traveled over the State of Florida, visiting, at all seasons of the year, the various sections engaged in growing oranges, discussing with growers their theories and noting the results of their efforts. This little work, therefore, is not the result of the experience of a single individual confined to a single location, but the result of experiments, successes and failures of the many, extended over the State of Florida.
