COMMENDATIONS. 183 



Mr. H., of Palatka, has been one of our most success- 

 ful culturists, and skilled as he is, he says " he has 

 learned many things of value from the book." 



" The author gives every step from the planting of the 

 seed through all the stages of growth and manipulation, 

 till the tree is at full bearing age. I feel certain that 

 this little book is destined to work a vast change in the 

 manner of treating the orange tree, and the new-comer 

 will find in it directions, plainly given, which will en- 

 able him to go at once to work in the right way to make 

 an orange grove." The East Florida Banner. 



Mr. A. I. Bidwell, of the Arlington Nursery, and one 

 of the most successful and reliable in Florida, says : 

 " I heartily recommend it to all my correspondents ask- 

 ing information on orange growing." 



Mr. Pillow, a successful orange grower near Manda- 

 rin, and horticulturist from Rochester, N. Y., says : 

 " If I could have had such a book when beginning to 

 grow oranges, it would have saved me over a hundred 

 dollars." 



Mr. Greenleaf, jeweller, of Jacksonville, and who is im- 

 proving one of the largest wild groves in the State, says : 

 " The book, if I could have had it one year ago, would 

 have saved me a thousand dollars." 



Mr. Bishop, who is president of the Fruit-Growers' 

 Association of Florida, and owner of three of the finest 

 groves in the State, says : " It contains all the informa- 

 tion necessary for success." 



" I have been planting and cultivating orange trees for 

 forty years, but have learned more from your book than 

 I had done from all my experience." Geo. Acosla, of 

 Mandarin , F'a.
