Excerpt from Citrus Industry of Florida: Part 1. Citrus Growing in Florida, Part II. Packing House Operations, Part III. Citrus Marketing, Part IV. Citrus Processing, Part V. Agencies Serving the Citrus IndustryThe incoming growers knew very little about problems of natural cold protection and their selections of grove sites were not based on the fact that areas close to bodies of water were warm, but primarily because the bodies of water meant ways of transportation. The freeze of 1894 and 1895 brought squarely into the foreground the problem of cold protection and resulted in a spread of the citrus industry to the south. This southward trend was speeded by the freeze of 1899, and the great est area of the citrus industry today is in central Florida, where the cold hazards are far less than those which faced the early growers.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
