vi PREFACE TO SECOND EDITION. 



by letter, the author has availed himself of this op- 

 portunity to give, more thoroughly than he other- 

 wise could, the information asked. 



To the Press, which has given so many favorable 

 notices ; to the public, who have given so hearty a 

 welcome ; and to the experienced orange-growers 

 who have noticed with more hearty commendation 

 than any others the little pamphlet first issued ; the 

 author would here extend his thanks, and again 

 send greeting and an earnest " God speed you/' 



FRUIT COVE, FLA., October, 1881.
