Dewberries, also Blackberries in some varieties succeed admirably in the regions indi¬ 
cated, 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 in¬ 
troduced 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.
