Dewberries, also Blackberries in some varieties succeed admirably in the regions indicated, 
but are not cultivated to any considerable extent, owing to the abundance of native, wild berries. 
The Manatee Dewberry, and the Northey, presumably a hybrid, have proved satisfactory in many 
localities. 
Loquats —Are grown in a small way for home consumption. They are a desirable fruit for 
table, as well as culinary use. At present the Loquat is propagated largely from seed, and the fruit 
varies greatly in size and quality. A number of varieties have been introduced from California and 
are being tested. 
Olives. —Many trees have been planted, and there are some old groves. The varieties, of which 
there are many, are not sufficiently known in this State to catalogue.
