1 84 ORANGE CULTURE IN FLORIDA. 



" Best English work ever published on the subject." 

 Methodist Quarterly Review. 



" This compendious treatise, on a subject which is 

 every year attracting wider attention, is recommended 

 by the State Bureau of Immigration, and has every ap- 

 pearance of being written with both candor and knowl- 

 edge. The author's experience as an orange grower cov- 

 ers a period of more than ten years, and his range of 

 observation has included not only the whole of Florida, 

 but nearly all the orange-producing regions of Europe 

 and America. His book furnishes the needed corrective 

 to the exaggerated and somewhat fantastic stories that in- 

 terested parties now and then set afloat through the press, 

 and demonstrates what every discriminating reader 

 might readily have guessed that in orange growing, as 

 in all other occupations, success is the result, not of blind 

 chance, but of patient and well-directed labor. There 

 can be no doubt that many hundreds of would-be orange 

 culturists have failed because they did not know the con- 

 ditions and methods of success. To all such, Mr. 

 Moore's treatise would have been invaluable ; and it will 

 greatly aid those who may now (or in future) be contem- 

 plating a similar attempt. It contains precise and prac- 

 tical information on location, soils, planting, budding, 

 cultivation, manures, packing, preserving, and the like, 

 arid it is noticeably free from mere padding or purpose- 

 less writing. ' ' Eclectic Magazine, N. Y.
