The Florida Keys

The Grape Fruit or Pomelo 

 There are extensive lime groves on the keys. On this stock the Pomelo thrives 



a close relative to the famous South 

 American tree which yields the valu- 

 able balata gum of commerce. It is 

 here where vanilla will grow and per- 

 haps coffee and many other tropical 

 things which have never been tried. On 



his plantation on Elliott's Key the 

 writer has picked in one day cocoanuts, 

 bananas, limes, pine-apples, papaws, 

 sapodillas, sugar apples, sweet pota- 

 toes, tomatoes, egg-plants, and pep- 

 pers.
