Large Oranges in Florida. — I visited the pack" 
ing house of a neighbour yesterday and saw some 
very large Navel oranges. We measured and weighed 
several that were from thirteen and one-half to 
fourteen inches in circumference and that weighed 
from one pound to one pound and two ounces. The 
largest one that we found iu the lot was fourteen 
and oue-half inches around it and weighed a pound 
and a quarter. He had four boxes spread out on a 
table and was sorting them, sixty-eight of the larg- 
est filled a box. He told me that a few days ago 
he picked four boxes of oranges from one tree of 
the Arcadia variety. When sorted, sixty-five of the 
smallest filled a box, while it took only fifty-four 
of the largest to fill a box. I thought these were 
large enough to report to the Dispatch, but today I 
was shown an orange from another grove which I 
measured and weighed. It was almost perfectly 
globular, and was sixteen inches in circumference, 
measured around tbe stem and blossom ends, and 
c.venteen. and, one-half inches around the other way, 
and it weighed one pound eleven and one-fourth ounces. 
The one who grew this orauge reports filling a box 
with forty oranges and a barrel with ninety. Who 
can beat St. Johns' river oranges for size ?. — W. 0.
