Excerpt from Treatise and Hand-Book of Orange Culture in FloridaThe largest of these wild orange groves, twenty and fifty years ago, were found along the eastern and southern shores of rivers and lakes, and in the hammock and swamp lands of Florida. In addition to the protection from damage by the frost to the young plants, afforded by the water, the ham mock and swamp. Lands gave protection against fires, which annually swept over the pine-woods, destroy ing the slow-growing trees. Some of these wild groves were, fifty years ago, cut down and the land cleared for planting corn, cotton, and cane. This was repeated as late as twenty-five years ago, before the monetary value of the orange was appreciated in this country.vi preface TO the fourth edition.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
