Gardeners' Chronicle, July 3, 1886, p. 15: "Oranges in 

 Valencia and Cordoba. The orange crops in Valencia, 

 Spain, appear to be suffering much from the competition 

 from the large and increasing crops of Florida and California, 

 thereby closing the U.S. markets to the Valencia crop. 

 The loss of this outlet causes excessive exportation to Great 

 Britain, and consequently unremunerative results. The 

 quantity of oranges exported from Valencia during the 

 season, from November to June, amounted to about 2,000,000 

 cases. From Cordoba, however, the bitter orange is ex- 

 ported in increasing quantities. It is much grown in this 

 district, and during the last five years the produce grown 

 has increased from 2,000 boxes to 6,000 ; one box contains 

 500 oranges. They are all shipped to London and Liver- 

 pool, and are used for making marmalade."
