The New Orleans market has eagerly consumed the entire output of this 

 Louisiana citrus belt, and for that reason the superior quality of the product is 

 not generally known in other parts of the country, but as new orchards come

 and the tangerine will undoubtedly attract the attention of the settler in search 

 of a milder winter, where he may pick the fruit from his own tree through the 

 season and grow profitable summer crops in addition.
