HOMELAND, OA. 



Owing to the unusual amount of rain 

 this wiHter, vegetation of all kinds is 

 backward. This is a great sweet potato 

 plant section, and all plantsmen are get- 

 ting busy bedding sweet potatoes. 



Last year J, L. White planted several 

 thousand gladiolus bulbs, mostly 

 America, Francis King, Augusta and 

 Independence, for the purpose of ex- 

 perimenting in shipping the spikes 

 north to some of the big cut flower 

 markets. This proved a success far be- 

 yond his expectations and has encour- 

 aged him to plant a much larger num- 

 ber this year, which he has already 

 done, expecting them to bring him in 

 good prices for Memorial day. He 

 finds that the bulbs grow to perfection 

 here and that most of them measure 

 four inches across, with no fertilizer, 

 little cultivation and no irrigation. 



On 500 violet plants set out in Sep- 

 tepiber, Mr. White has picked 20,000 

 blossoms and they are still blooming 

 and were only cultivated twice. He 

 grows the singles for northern markets. 

 Outdoor roses bloom here almost con- 

 tinuously the year around. This is a 

 great place also for watermelons; car- 

 loads of the finest melons are shipped 

 to the north. The soil and climate are 

 the best of their kind for most varieties 

 of garden truck and flowers, as the 

 location is almost on the north Florida 

 line. Strawberries are in full bloom, 

 with many half-grown berries showing 

 on the vines. A big acreage of water- 

 melons will be planted this year. The 

 soil and climate are well adapted for 

 Satsuma oranges and paper-shell pecans.
