The native varieties yield the bulk of the fruit used. The Cattley and Chinese do well in central and southern Florida, while the White Winter and native varieties grow to greatest perfection in southern Florida. Mangoes have not been grown extensively for north- em markets. The greatest difficulty has been that of securing trees of unquestionable value for setting out a grove. Since the difficulty in the way of grafting and budding has been overcome, the groves will multiply rapidly. Up to the present time the local markets have demanded more fruit than has been supplied them. Well drained tirst-class flat-woods land and fertile high hammocks furnish good soil for mangoes. Apricot and No. H (Apple) are favorite varieties. They are grown mostly in southern Florida, though fruited in southern portions of central Florida. CocoANCTS are confined to southern Florida and along the seacoast. While the trees continue to grow when transplanted to the higher lands, they need the low, moist lands of the coast for fruiting and for highest development. The Avocado Peak has entered the markets to some extent. The soil should be like that for mangoes. Their cultivation is confined to central and southern Florida. '" Vegetables.âThere are several classes of soils upon which vegetables are grown extensively, viz., ham- mock, flat-woods, the low islands around the coast, and the marl or drained lands.
